I'd like to score a congas part in lilypond, but I can't figure out how.
I've found the lilypond documentation on it here, but I can't understand it, especially this bit:
There are also other layout possibilities. To use these, set the property
drumStyleTable
in contextDrumVoice

I just need to know how to set up a staff for the congas.
Currently I achieved this:
But it is with improper technique (I just used a normal staff and changed the number of staff lines,) so I can't show open/slap/etc. tones and the staff lines appear too close together.
Just realised my question might be a bit unclear, so here I will describe what I would like to see in an answer:

which contains lilypond code which compiles into a congas staff and a congas part. If you could also show how to display the different tones that would be great, e.g.:
\new DrumStaff {
\style = congas
\cgho \cgl
}
with a picture of what is produced.
What I'm aiming for:
but on two lines like this:
