Percussion legend under staff name

[Claudius_Bruese]

As the title suggests, is there a way to get a percussion legend of the used instruments of say “player 1” in the current flow under/at the staff name on the first page of the flow?

Something like:
Percussion 1
Bass Drum
Woodblock

Percussion 2
Triangle
Cowbell
Shaker

Hi @Claudius_Bruese,

• you can use customised Player names, and set to use them in Layout Option > Staves and Systems > Staff Labels.
  To make the line brake in the Player Name, you could edit the name in a text editor and paste it, or use some app that creates a Line Feed/Brake (I use Keyboard Maestro for this):

Result:

• As an alternative, you can of course use the normal Percussion Legends in both 5-lines staff or Grid visualisation.

• And eventually drag them below a simple Percussion 1 or Percussion 2 staff labels, but is difficult to center the staff label vertically, then:

Thanks for your very extensive answer! The “legends” option unfortunately does not appear in the “single staff” version of percussion, which I currently prefer.
