Percussion legends list the percussion kit instruments in use and appear alongside the music.

Two sounding instrument percussion legends

By default, percussion legends appear above the staff. You can change the staff-relative placement of percussion legends individually.

You can change various aspects of the paragraph style for percussion legends, such as the font size and style, in the Paragraph Styles dialog.

Note
  • Percussion legends appear as signposts if there are no instruments sounding at their position, or in layouts where they are hidden on the corresponding presentation type. Percussion legends do not appear at all in layouts using the single-line instrument presentation type.

  • Percussion legends only appear in the layout in which they were input and if the layout is set to show percussion legends on the corresponding presentation type. To show percussion legends in multiple layouts, you must input them in each layout.

  • You can hide/show percussion legend signposts by choosing Viewand thenSignpostsand thenPercussion Legends.
