Hi! I've been using Lilypond for quite a while now, but I never found out how to enter a "dead note" (e.g. the "thud" you get when you pluck a string on a bass guitar while lightly laying the fingers on the string). Normally people use the cross symbol (like for a hihat in drum notation) but with the appropriate "pitch". I'm not interested in correct midi output, I just want to see that cross on the paper :-) Thanks in advance, Werner
