Percussion kit presentation
type
Staff label Example
Grid Multiple instrument names:
one for each kit instrument,
positioned at the staff position
of the corresponding
instrument.
Staff labels for grids use a
smaller font and a different
paragraph style than used for
standard instrument staff
labels.
Single-line instruments
Multiple instrument names:
one for each kit instrument,
positioned beside the
corresponding single-line
staff.
Staff labels for single-line
instruments use the same font
and paragraph style as used
for standard instrument staff
labels.
You can change the player names, layout names, and instrument names of percussion kits in the
same ways as for other players and instruments. However, to change the staff labels for
percussion kits, you must change kit instrument names in different ways for percussion kits,
depending on your percussion kit presentation type:
5-line staff: Open the Edit Instrument Names dialog from the Players panel in Setup mode,
or use the Name eld in the Edit Percussion Kit dialog, to change the name of the kit.
Grid/Single-line instruments: Open the Edit Instrument Names dialog from inside the Edit
Percussion Kit dialog in Setup mode to change the names of individual instruments.
The same instrument name elds and options are available for kit instruments as for standard
pitched instruments.
