Triangle with a cross notation

How can I set the triangle voice to show the triangle with a x- notehead.

One approach: In Setup mode, click the three-dot menu next to the Triangle instrument and choose Edit Percussion Playing Techniques. In the Notehead Set dropdown, choose X Noteheads.

Yes, if it’s a percussion kit, select the triangle in the editor and click the Edit Percussion Playing Techniques and change the natural technique.

From the screenshot, it looks like the triangle is not part of a kit in this case.

Wouldn’t it be a 1-line staff then?

Dear both,
Thanks for all of your very helpfull answers.
I use Scott Bradley - Tom and Jerry at MGM as a chrash course as i go along.
I make al lot of blunders as I’m not totally into the logic of Dorico yet.
It took me fx. long time to understand that when working with Multiple instruments in one player I have to go to galley view in order to get to the right instrument.
But thanks from denmark
yours

It is on the right-hand part of the screenshot. :person_shrugging:

Ah, only looked at the left part, silly me.

One thing I haven’t figured out yet is exactly what jesele speaks about
Can I have 5-staff line and one-staff line appearing in the same player, depending on the instrument?
Fx glockenspiel (5-line) cymbal (one-line)

Scotts perc notation are all 5-staff

Yes, with instrument changes.

Might look better with all 5-line. Usually a kit shown as 5-line is a good option.
Just place all the unpitched instruments in a kit.
