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:

Procedure

  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.
