Setting up a staff for drum scoring

Procedure

  1. Open the Score Settings dialog on the Staff page and select the Options tab.
  2. Make sure that “Use Score Drum Map” is activated.
  3. If you want a single line drum staff, activate the corresponding option.
  4. If you want flat beams, activate the corresponding option.
  5. If you want all stems to end at the same position, activate Fixed Stems and set a length for up/down stems.

    You may also want to use polyphonic voices to handle rest and stem separately.

    However, you can still activate the “Fixed Stems” option if you like.
