5 Create a new mapped staff style by choosing New > Mapped Style in the Staff Style window, and
inserting all staffs, voices, and drum groups as described above, and in Staff styles overview on
page 684.
•
Staff section: Everything is identical to unmapped staff styles (with the exception of the missing
Transpose and Key parameters, which wouldn’t make sense here).
•
Voice section: Below Voice (in the top header line), is a separate Voice column, where the
different voices are numbered automatically. The staff style shown above contains one staff
with five independent voices.
•
Horizontal lines: Display the Staffs-Voices-Drum Groups hierarchy, indicating the
borders between these elements. Each drum group belongs to the voice at the same
horizontal position.
•
Pos parameter: Affects the vertical positioning of all notes in the corresponding drum group.
The value shown here is an offset that is added to, or subtracted from, the relative positions (if
defined for individual notes in the Mapped Instrument window).
Mapped staff style names are preceded by the # character in the Staff Style window.
If you’re using several software instruments with different drum assignments, you can create a
separate drum map for each instrument (in the Mapped Instrument window). The list of drum
groups, however, is the same for all instruments in a project. This allows you to display different
drum tracks with the same mapped staff style. All snare drums, for example, will be displayed in
the same way.
