Hi folks,
I’m at an impasse over the cues in a percussion part. I’ve made a simple percussion part with just two lines and I’d like to insert cues of different instruments with the 5 lines and the keys. But this seems impossible to do even if I transform the percussion part into a 5-line staff.
Any issue for this problem?
Thank’s
You can’t show pitched cues on unpitched percussion staves. What you can do is give the player holding the percussion kit a pitched instrument to hold as well, and add the pitched cue to the pitched staff held by your percussion player.
Of course! Sorry I wasn’t very clever … especially as I use instrument changes a lot.
Thank you Lillie !
I tried this by adding a C clar to unpitched percussion but it doesn’t show up in staff visibility, so how do I access it? Thanks
Galley view is generally a good bet.
Thanks Lillie, that worked but now I can’t adjust the cue to start in the correct bar or get rid of “To Cl” which makes it rather impractical.

Try: Layout Options > Players > Instrument Changes > Instrument transition position > * Before first note in new instrument
I can’t remember if you can get rid of these without manually editing the position or maybe scale of the text item.
Thanks for the suggestions Daniel, they worked. Adjusted custom scale to 1
