@node Basic percussion notation
@subsubsection Basic percussion notation
Percussion notes may be entered in @code{\drummode} mode, which is
similar to the standard mode for entering notes. Each piece of
-percussion has a full name and an abbreviated name, and both can be used
-in input files
+percussion has a full name and an abbreviated name, and both can
+be used in input files. The simplest way to enter percussion notes
+is to use the @code{\drums} command, which creates the correct
+context and entry mode for percussion:
@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,verbatim]
\drums {
}
@end lilypond
+This is shorthand for
+
+@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,verbatim]
+\new DrumStaff
+\drummode {
+ hihat hh bassdrum bd
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+
The complete list of drum names is in the init file
@file{ly/@/drumpitch@/-init@/.ly}.
@c TODO: properly document this.
+Drum rolls are indicated with three slashes across the stem.
+For quarter notes or longer the three slashes are shown explicitly,
+eighth notes are shown with two slashes (the beam being the third),
+and drum rolls shorter than eighths have one stem slash to
+supplement the beams. This is achieved with the tremolo notation,
+@code{:32}, see @ref{Tremolo repeats}. Here's an example of
+some snare rolls:
+
+@lilypond[quote,ragged-right,verbatim]
+\new DrumStaff
+\drummode {
+ \time 2/4
+ sn16 sn8 sn16 sn8 sn8:32~ |
+ sn8 sn8 sn4:32~ |
+ sn4 sn8 sn16 sn16 |
+ sn4 r4 |
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+Sticking can be indicated by placing @code{^"R"} or @code{^"L"}
+after the note. The @code{staff-padding} property may be
+overridden to achieve a pleasing baseline.
+
+@c TODO Add example of sticking

-@c TODO add \sacredHarpHeads, expanded or ref?
-TBC
+Sacred Harp notation uses four shaped note heads. In the major,
+the tonic is a triangle and then proceeding up the scale you
+have circle, square, triangle, circle, square, diamond. In the
+minor, the shapes should be assigned to keep the same interval
+relationships, e.g. you assign them for the relative major. (This
+means that the scale in the minor gives the tonic a square.)
+
+@c TODO add example of \sacredHarpHeads, or a ref?
+
+
+@knownissues
+
+The \sacredHarpHeads command gives the wrong shapes when the key
+is minor. A work-around is to switch the key to the relative
+major to obtain the right shapes.
