It might be necessary to override the appearance of playing technique-specific noteheads in order to disambiguate the notes for one instrument from another if they share a staff position in five-line staff kit presentations.

Procedure

  1. In Setup mode, in the Players panel, expand the card of the player holding the kit whose playing technique-specific noteheads you want to override.
  2. In the kit instrument label, click the instrument menu and choose Edit Percussion Kit to open the Edit Percussion Kit dialog.
  3. Select the instrument whose noteheads you want to override in the main editing area of the dialog.
  4. Click Edit Noteheads to open the Override Percussion Noteheads dialog.
  5. Click in the Notehead Override column for the appropriate playing technique and select a new notehead type from the menu to override its notehead.
  6. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog.

Result

The playing technique-specific notehead is overridden for the selected instrument in five-line staff kit presentations.

Note

This does not affect the appearance of playing technique-specific noteheads in grid and single-line instrument kit presentation types.
