Hi Dana,

You'll have to specify your version of Finale, your system, and your platform. Everything changed in 2010, so this info is very important.

HI folks:

I'm stumped on trying to get things in a drum part to appear and play back as they should. In almost all the Kontakt 3 drum kits, somewhere around Middle C is a straight snare shot.. On the onscreen keyboard, Middle C is that snare shot. SO...being smart, I figured I'd set up transposition DOWN an octave, so that if a snare is supposed to be one octave above middle C, it'll "sound" middle C. No go. Regardless of transposition (in any clef, mind you) the thing is stuck/based on position. It'sa drum KIT patch, so..why a snare drum is one leger line below the staff is beyond me.

I guess the question is, how do I get this part to LOOK right and play back as desired?

Right now I have a tom-tom in the E above middle C position in layer 3 interfering with the rest of the part. No drummer will want to read that.

(Also, for some reason they have things programmed into these patches in which you type in a quarter note and gives you back a triplet-like fill. What the hell? Why bother? I imagine it's for people who aren't scoring..but..if you want a triplet, umm..doesn't it make sense to just play a triplet?)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dana
