Staff labels for percussion kits

The staff labels shown for percussion kit staves depend on how kits are presented in your

project. Kits can be presented as ve-line staves, grids, and as single-line instruments.

Percussion kit presentation

type

Staff label Example

5-line staff Single instrument name using

the instrument name of the

percussion kit.

Grid Multiple instrument names:

one for each kit instrument,

positioned at the staff position

of the corresponding

instrument.

Staff labels for grids use a

smaller font and a different

paragraph style than used for

standard instrument staff

labels.

Single-line instruments

Multiple instrument names:

one for each kit instrument,

positioned beside the

corresponding single-line

staff.

Staff labels for single-line

instruments use the same font

and paragraph style as used

for standard instrument staff

labels.

You can change the player names, layout names, and instrument names of percussion kits in the

same ways as for other players and instruments. However, to change the staff labels for

percussion kits, you must change kit instrument names in different ways for percussion kits,

depending on your percussion kit presentation type:

● 5-line staff: Open the Edit Instrument Names dialog from the Players panel in Setup

mode, or use the Name eld in the Edit Percussion Kit dialog, to change the name of the

kit.

● Grid/Single-line instruments: Open the Edit Instrument Names dialog from inside the

Edit Percussion Kit dialog in Setup mode to change the names of individual instruments.

The same instrument name elds and options are available for kit instruments as for standard

pitched instruments.
