[MEI-L] Drum notation, or...?

[Andrew Hankinson, Mr]

Hi Raffaele,

That's good ol' solfege notation!

d = do
r = re
m = mi
etc...

Dear list,

Please forgive me if this is a silly question with a simple answer, but I've been asked to produce an encoding of this:

http://www.warmuseum.ca/cwm/exhibitions/guerre/photo-e.aspx?PageId=4.B.3&photo=3.D.8.c&f=%2Fcwm%2Fexhibitions%2Fguerre%2Fa-soldiers-life-e.aspx

What is the text above the staff? I suspect it is another staff for some sort of drum, probably a military drum. However, I've never come across anything like this and I can't really make sense of it, except maybe for a few things like "r" for roll.

Does anyone know that that is and how to read it? And also: how would one go about encoding that in MEI?

Best wishes,
Raffaele
