Working with Percussion

The Staff view can display percussion tracks on a Þve-line percussion
staff or on a single percussion line. The staff usually displays notes for a
drum set or multiple percussion instruments; the line is used to display
notes for a single instrument (although it need not be so).
Pro Audio lets you control the appearance of percussion staffs in
considerable detail. You can display percussion notes using several
different types of noteheads and articulation symbols, and you can map
any percussion sound to any position on the percussion staff (in a
percussion track, each MIDI note value designates a different percussion
