uncheck "use percussion noteheads" in the staff setup (cmd-K to call up the dialogue)
there is *very* often no real need for "alternate" noteheads, when the instruments are being played in "normal" ways. for example, cymbals played normally (sticks, mallets, triangle beaters, brushes...) do NOT need X-noteheads. exceptions exist, of course, e.g., highly standardized situations like drumset notation. but in particular, if the cymbals are on a dedicated staff (1-line or multi-cymbals/metals) the noteheads used should be "normal". >I am running Finale 214 on MacOS 10.7.5.
