Hi Xavier

Thanks for your observation in my mistyping, but I still got the same mistake and  compilation still looks clean

I download 2.13.21 and got the same results. I am on Mac OSX 10.6.3

Dear list

I am new in Lilypond and got the following problem defining my

percussion instruments. According to the  manual I did the following

this example works fine

[...]

but, when add cymbals to the same instrument they never got their

new positon or noteheads.

I define a cymbal drums and same thing happens. Is this a bug or

cymbals have some parameters extra i missing ?

Hi Roberto!

I never use percussions but I tried compiling your code and the
the positions are as expected and the notehead of chinesecymbal is
a triangle AFAICS (I use 2.13.21).

crashcymbala is also at right position but hotehead is wrong and I
think I know why.
According to the doc:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Percussion-notes
the "note name" of crashcymbala is "cymca", not "cymc".
So either replace crashcymbala by crashcymbal (without the final 'a'),
either replace "cymc" by "cymca".  ;)

Cheers,
Xavier
