Transpose Percussion Instruments (like in Finale)

Hello, it’s possible to transpose a Percussion System?
In Finale you can transpose each Instrument (for example a CowBell) in another Instrument (for example a WoodBlock)
How can I change/transpose a Percussion Setup?
Thank You

Hi Gören, and welcome to the forum! If I understand your question correctly, what you want to do is edit a percussion kit (rather than transpose notes). Click the blue links to go to the documentation.

I’m not sure this is the solution he was looking for (I come from Finale and have the same question).

In my case, I’ve already created and assigned my full drum set with all the required voices in the drum set editor --I just want to select a measure of music and and transform the ride cymbal notes into open hi-hats while leaving all the other notes unchanged. DO you know of any way to do this?

Change the appearance of the drum set to Single-line Instruments

then select and move the notes from the ride cymbal to the hi-hat line and switch the appearance back to 5-line Staff
