Rhythmic cue + slash notation

Hello,

I want to make a rhythmic cue for the drums cuing an instrument that has both a regular voice and a slash voice. The problem is that, whereas the regular voice shows ok as a rhythmic cue, the slash does not. I don’t know if this is a limitation or intended behavior, and if there’s a suggested way of doing this (I’m thinking of cueing a hidden instrument).
Thanks!

When cueing a pitched instrument on the drums I get better results but still somewhat inconsistent.

This is exactly what I would do if I were you.

Correct!
I too had success with using a hidden treble staff cue instrument.
Counterintuitively, it’s better not to use a percussion instrument for this, but a treble staff pitched instrument. These are more flexible, e.g., you can change noteheads to slashes in the cue instrument, and they will reflect properly in the cue.

Hope that helped,
Benji
