Adding percussion legends to five-line staff kit presentations

You can add percussion legends at specific rhythmic positions to indicate the instruments in the kit. Percussion legends can show all instruments in the kit or only instruments sounding within the specified range.

Procedure

  1. In Write mode, select one of the following:
    • An item on the staff at the rhythmic position where you want to add a percussion legend for all instruments.

    • The range of notes/items for which you want to show a percussion legend for sounding instruments.

  2. Add a percussion legend in one of the following ways:
    • Choose Edit > Percussion > Legend for All Instruments.

    • Choose Edit > Percussion > Legend for Sounding Instruments.

    Tip

    You can also choose these options from the context menu.

Result

A percussion legend is added above the staff. It lists instruments, either all instruments or just instruments with notes within the selected range, in the order in which they appear in the five-line staff, from highest down to lowest.
