| They can use standard noteheads or x noteheads and standard treble clef
or a special percussion clef || or no clef.
They can be each on one line or the instruments to be played by one
person on the same staff.
They can use a standard staff or just a line ____________.
If you use a standard staff, you can put one instrument on the top
space stems up and another instrument on the bottom space stems down.
Or the middle spaces.

| I am asking because Notator offers many different percussion symbols (x, o,
xo superimposed, regular noteheads, etc) and I am trying to relate that to
sample scores in magazines and demos etc.
thanks Tom, good info.

| Also, is there any standard when using a special clef for the drums/percussion
mentioned in .0? I mean, when I see a full staff with drum music, how
do I know what is snare, kick, etc.
Thanks
Chad
Tom's reply reminded me of music I saw for concert band and marching band.
Are there other methods also? The peice is more of a jazz/funk/fusion type
thing

| 2160.4 | yes they have no pitches | MILKWY::JANZEN | cf. ANT::CIRCUITS,ANT::UWAVES | Fri Nov 10 1989 17:41 | 6 |
| 2160.5 | I c'n he'p!! | WEFXEM::COTE | OK, who wants a Tangwich??? | Fri Nov 10 1989 18:49 | 8 |
| I've got a few drum scores at home that all use the same notation.
I'll post 'em tomorrow if nobody beats me to it.
Basically, each line or space on the staff represents a specific
instrument...

| This is the protocol used in the transcription of Dave Weckl's drums
to "Rumble" by Chick Corea's Electric Band. Limitations of my terminal
prevent total accuracy.
The entire piece is notated on the bass clef...

FC Hi-hat
(1) Cymbal 1 is dependant on the type of note head. A stylized X
indicates Ride (rim). The same X in a circle indicates Ride (bell).
A diamond indicates a crash cymbal.
(2) At least 3 different instruments share this line. An X indicates
a sticked hi-hat. At least 3 different symbols can appear above the X
in order to indicate closed, open, or partially open. Closed appears
to be the default position.
A diamond on this line indicates a second crash cymbal, and a regular
note head indicates a hi-pitched tom.
(3) The snare is notated with a normal note head. A circle around the
note head indicates a rim-shot. A Z on the stem indicates a "press
roll" (I dunno what a press roll is.) Snare drum notes are often placed
in parenthesis, indicating a "ghost note". I'm not sure what a ghost
note is either, but I've found that if I enter it with a VERY low
velocity (Like "1" on my HR-16) the results sound correct, and the
explanation sounds intuitively correct.
The largest resolution notated is the quarter note. Finer resolution is
indicated thru the normal use of flags on the stem. Rests are used to
fill out the rest of the bar. Rests can appear either on the high B
space or the low A space, but appear to be relative ONLY to the
instrument notated on that line. (hi-hat or bass drum)
I have my doubts as to whether there is a true standard, as the
percussion part can vary too much.
