This of course is the problem with notating for percussion. Nothing is standard. As a percussionist I’ve given up using the limiting sounds and notational placements offered by any of the notation programs.
I would suggest notating on a higher part of the stave for higher sounds, maybe x’s for the stick clicks. And if there are no obvious high/low sounds, make up your own systems. If you want pass anything by me for further comments I’d be happy help. Cheers Ryszard Ryszard Pusz Percuszion Studio __________________ > On 12 Jun 2019, at 18:36, David H.
