Scoring for drums
The dialog contains the following options:
Initializing the display pitches
If you select “Init. Disp. Notes” from the Functions pop-up
menu in the dialog, all display pitch values are reset, so
that actual pitch and display pitch is the same for each
sound/note.
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 don’t like the default pairs of note heads, you can
edit these:
1. Select Edit Head pairs from the Functions pop-up
menu.
2. To change a symbol in a pair, click on it and select a
new symbol from the pop-up menu that appears.
3. When you’re done, click Exit to close the dialog.
Editing the drum map in the score
If you activate the checkbox “Edit in Scores” in the Drum
Map Setup dialog, you can change the settings for the
score drum map directly in the score:
• Transposing a note will change the display pitch of its
drum sound – the actual note will not be transposed.
• Double-clicking a note allows you to make note head
settings for that drum sound.
• Using the “Move to Voice” function will change the
voice assignment of the drum sound.
Ö This requires that you leave the Drum Map Setup dia-
log open – closing the dialog will automatically deactivate
this option, allowing you to perform normal editing.
Option Description
Pitch This corresponds to the I-note of the sound in the drum
map, and cannot be edited here.
Instrument The name of the drum sound in the map.
Display Note The display pitch, i.e. the pitch at which the note will be
shown in the score. For example, you typically want all
three hi-hat sounds to be shown on the same system line
in the score (but with different symbols). Therefore, you
set these to the same display pitch.
Head Symbol Clicking in this column opens a window in which you can
select a note head symbol for the sound. If “Use Head
Pairs” is activated in the dialog, you can select a note
head pair instead.
Voice This allows you to make all notes with this pitch belong to
a certain voice, so that they get e.g. a common rest han-
dling and stem direction.
!
Please note that many different drum maps can be
created for a project. Which one you get depends on
which drum map is assigned to the edited track.
These drum maps are totally independent of one an-
other, i.e. each pitch can have different settings in
different drum maps.
