Notation
If you want to change a Percussion Staff to a Percussion Line or vice
versa, or if you want to change another type of staff to a percussion staff,
you can do so in the Staff View Layout dialog box. If you change a trackÕs
clef to a non-percussion clef, the percussion notation settings will be lost.
The lowest and highest lines on the Percussion clef are E5 and F6,
respectively. The Percussion Line represents E5.
By default, percussion staffs are given Pro AudioÕs default note bindings
and notehead assignments. If you want to use your own notation, or if
you want to set up the appearance of a percussion line, you need to use
the Percussion Notation Key dialog box. In this dialog box, the
percussion sounds and staff positions that are bound have an asterisk
near their names. When you select a bound percussion sound, a line joins
the sound to its staff position. Each percussion sound can be bound only
to a single position, but each position may be bound to several sounds.
You can use different notehead types and articulation symbols to
visually distinguish the sounds.
