Another question.  Is it possible to put a drumset (2 drums) into
a voice context instead of staff context, so that I can have a drum part
in a guitar or piano score?

Existing examples would be Mozart's "Alla Turca" or various flamenco
pieces.  This is something I don't need right away, and I know I could
fake it with noteheads.  daveA
