FWIW ... I'm finding life a lot easier dealing with perc. in 2010 ...
and, the sounds are pretty reasonable ... at least in the Drum Kit
library.

Hi...while the statement is correct that you need to specify which

Yup. Sorry. It was FinMac 2009.
, I'd make the general statement that it would help you to do some
reading on percussion mapping.
The ***short*** version is:
1. Locate your desired drum in your library (in your case the
snare in the K3 kit)
2. Go into the Percussion Map on your staff
I will follow these instructions. Thanks, Jim.
They were set up so that two-or four-fingered "keyboard drummers"
could enter their drum grooves into a sequencer in real time.
Got it.
Therefore, there is NO relationship to where a drum is on the
keyboard and what it looks like on a notation stasff.
So this is one of those areas where users need to meet Finale on
ITS terms. FWIW, Finale 2010 makes significant advances in
percussion entry, most notably in removing the virtual need for a
MIDI keyboard when entering percussion
Hmm...Interesting.
. It is now much easier to use Speedy Entry without a keyboard,
which is my preferred entry method.
Yup. Mine too. Thanks.
FINALLY: Many programs disagree on what MIDDLE C is. Some say C3,
others say C4, still others C5.
Wow.
Having said that, though, there is NO need for anyone to transpose
anything in a percussion setup.
Please do read up on percussion mapping, though!! ;-)
I will. Thanks.
