Drumkits and midi import, how to match

[knl]

Using a drumkit i save this:

I get this:

I also tried to use it with a .doricolib, drumkit. Can you point me in some good direction to be able to import a midifile with percission instruments and make it look at its best?

I don’t know what exact things you’ve been doing — percussion stuff involves a lot of basic steps, but they all can change everything.
My experience is that if your percussion maps are ok, meaning everything is properly described, MIDI import works fine. Beware: there are options in MIDI import, it can be necessary to follow all the steps (yes, the ones you did not describe…)

I have to admit I don’t understand what I am seeing here.
What is the first picture and what is the second picture? And when you write “I get this”, what did you do before to get this?

I do not find this image surprising. IIRC the default setup for drum kits in Dorico is to have drums played by a downstem voice and cymbals played by an upstem voice.

I prefer to change the kit defaults to traps played by hand using upstem notes and traps played by foot using downstem, but I have to makje that adjustment manually in the kit editor.

Here is step by step what I have done.
I have just exported the Kit but have not installed it yet. Obviously I have a lot to learn.

1. Create new, Empty template

2. Create empty kit as KNL_perc (image)
   

   

3. Export kit as KNL_perc

4. Layout Options → Players → Percussion → 5-line Staff

5. Enter 3 notes (image)
   

   

6. Export midi

7. Import midifile (image)
   

   

8. New score: (image)
   

   

Please, any suggestions
