Note: By default, rests are displayed according to the Rest settings for the staff style. In
the cross staff beaming example described above, however, most (or all) notes belong to
the voice of the top staff, and the lower staff will contain rests—some even at positions
occupied by notes. To avoid this situation, choose a staff style where the automatic display
of rests is turned off for the bottom staff’s voice, then add rests manually from the Part box.
Use mapped staff styles for drum notation in Logic Pro
In MIDI regions assigned to drum instruments, each MIDI note usually triggers a different
sound. When viewed using a regular staff style, the notes have no apparent relationship to
the sounds you hear. You can display these regions as a readable drum part with special
drum note heads, using mapped instruments and mapped staff styles.
When Additional Score Options is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you
can create and edit mapped staff styles. Mapped staff styles allow you to assign individual
voices to drum groups, which use specific drum note heads to display note events. You can
define the respective drum note head shapes in a Mapped Instrument window.
The best way to create drum notation for an existing region is to open the Score Editor to
view the MIDI region, and also open the Mapped Instrument window and the Staff Style
window. This way, you can directly see how parameter changes affect the score display.
Before defining the details of a mapped staff style, you should set up all drum groups, note
head shapes, and relative note position parameters in the Mapped Instrument window.
Create a mapped staff style for drum notation
1. Create a mapped instrument in the Environment, then double-click its icon. For
details about creating mapped instruments, see Mapped instruments in the Logic Pro
Environment.
The Mapped Instrument window opens. Its default settings correspond to the General
MIDI drum note assignments, but they can be edited.
In the columns to the far right are three parameters relevant to notation.
