Title: improve rhythmic slash notation for drum staves

On examination of drum scores & books, it seems that "rhythmic slash notation" more commonly uses regular noteheads as opposed to slashes, and places them directly above the staff, not floating higher. But slash heads & floating above is more common / better for non-drum staves. So I tweaked the code to differentiate by staff type. Updated mtest. Here, BTW, is an image showing the type of notation that is produced:
