I have been using lilypond for years for my own projects and have recently
introduced it to a friend of mine. He is a drum instructor and has been reading
drum notation for many years. He's pointed out some things that are
non-standard about the way lilypond handles some drum notation tasks. Most of
these I have been able to correct using a #(define block. There are, however,
some things I have not yet been able to crack.
First, for hi-hat, the notation for open and closed are correct, but for the
half-open he would like to appear exactly like the open hi-hat notation, except
the "o" above the stem of the note needs to have a single slash through it.
Also, the note head for a China cymbal he notes by having a standard cross note
head, but with a box around it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for making these changes?
I have no experience of doing this but you might want to start here
