Inputting notes in percussion kits
You can input notes on percussion instruments within kits using any presentation type in the
same ways as inputting notes on pitched instruments. However, the caret is smaller when
inputting notes in percussion kits than when inputting music on the staves of pitched
instruments.
Instead of occupying the whole height of the staff, the caret in percussion kits is positioned at a
particular staff position.
The name of the percussion instrument or slash voice currently selected by the caret, and playing
technique if applicable, is shown above the staff, directly above the rhythmic grid display.
NOTE
You can only input notes into slash voices in percussion kits when using the ve-line staff
presentation.
