Custom percussion kit - best practices

How does mapping work?

Anders is correct that this is perhaps the most complex confluence of concepts in the whole program, and indeed in music notation in general. Conceptually I do believe it’s simple enough, but fitting the pieces together isn’t necessarily so simple. An unpitched percussion instrument produces a set of unpitched sounds: a note written on its own with no special notehead or articulation can be said to produce the “natural” sound of that instrument, but you can also define other sounds by specifyin…

You can’t as yet via the new instrument editor create a new percussion kit, but you can get as far as creating the five required single-line percussion instruments and then creating an appropriate percussion map. You can then create a new kit in each project that combines the five new instruments you’ve added.
