In the top panel you are indicating that you want the notes to be moved to the F line, in octave 5, voice 1 with an cross (x) notehead. Now go to Plug-ins>Notes and Rests> Make Pitches Constant and set the parameters as follows. Simple enough to do but both of these examples can be quickly created with the Make Pitches Constant plugin.įor example 1, notate the ride cymbal rhythm in voice 1 of the drum staff and don’t worry about the noteheads, select the bar or bars you need (single blue box). This type of notation is created by going into voice 1 and creating one notation element in the top part of the staff, then in voice 2 creating the bottom element. In example 2 there is a specific kick drum figure that needs to be played to sync up with a specific bass figure. Example 1 below shows the rhythm the drummer should play on ride cymbal but everything else is up for interpretation. That’s it, you’ve hidden the rests in voice 2 and your bar should look like the first example in this post.Īnother type of combination bar is one where a single element is notated and the rest of the elements are left up to the drummer. This window will come up and for this example I’ll use the settings here. Now go to the the Plug-ins menu and select Hide Rests In Voice wherever you installed it. In this case beats 3 & 4 of the first bar and beats 1-3 of the second bar. Select the part of the bars in which you need to hide rests.

You need to download and install the the plugin.

You could select each rest and hide them individually but there is a faster way by using the plugin Hide Rests In Voice. You’ve got rests in voice 2 that really need to be hidden. The way to do this is to notate the first part of the bar and then put in slashes, either by putting notes on the midline and changing the notehead or using Move Pitches To Transposed MIdline to create the slashes and then adding the final snare on beat 4.

With this post I’ve cover the remaining drum set notation types sited in my first post in this series.Īs you can see from this example above, sometimes you have bars that are fully notated for part of the bar and then go to slashes for some reason, in this case a fill.
