Scoring for drums
Setting up the drum map
Using note head pairs
Not only can you have different drum sounds displayed with different note heads, you
can also display different note heads for different note values:
1. Activate the “Use Head Pairs” checkbox.
The “Head Symbol” column now shows two head symbols for each drum sound.
All head symbols are arranged in pairs – by default an “empty” head and a “filled” head. Just
as with regular notes, the “empty” note heads are used with half notes and larger note values,
and the “filled” heads are used with quarter notes and smaller note values.
2. To select a head pair for a drum sound/note, click in the Head symbol column to
open the pop-up menu and choose the new head pair.
Customizing note head pairs
If you do not like the default pairs of note heads, you can edit these:
1. On the Functions pop-up menu, select “Edit head pairs”.
2. To change a symbol in a pair, click on it and select a new symbol from the pop-up
menu.
3. When you are done, click Exit to close the dialog.
Editing the drum map in the score
If you activate the “Edit in Scores” option in the Drum Map Setup dialog, you can
change the settings for the score drum map directly in the score:
• Transposing a note changes the display pitch of its drum sound – the actual note
is not transposed.
• Double-clicking a note allows you to make note head settings for that drum sound.
• Using the “Move to Voice” function changes the voice assignment of the drum
sound.
Ö This requires that you leave the Drum Map Setup dialog open – closing the dialog
automatically deactivates this option, allowing you to perform normal editing.
