Using “Single Line Drum Staff”

If this option is activated on the Options tab of the Staff page in the Score Settings dialog, there is only one line in the system. Furthermore, notes can only appear below the line, on the line and above the line.

To decide which notes go where, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. Open the Score Settings dialog on the Staff page and select the Options tab.
  2. Activate “Use Score Drum Map” and “Single Line Drum Staff”.
  3. Set up the two pitch values to decide which pitches go on the line.

    Notes below this range automatically wind up below the line and notes above wind up above the line.

    Important

    When you enter and edit the pitch of notes on a single line drum staff, the best way is to drag the note up or down while watching the Mouse Note Position display in the status line.
