I use slash notation on layer 4, and make sure you check 'view [everything] in other layers. Then put UP staff stuff in layer 1, DOWN staff in layer 3, and the bizarre stuff in layer 3.

Re: [Finale] Advice on drum set notation
Hi Craig, Create a new staff style, one that uses slashes as the alternate notation, but has Show Notes In Other Layers checked. (And use layers, not voices, which I think is what you meant.)

Re: [Finale] Advice on drum set notation
That is getting closer to what I need. My other message was in error. I said I didn't apply a staff style and instead simply clicked on the measure from within the staff tool and set alternate notation. That has the undesirable result of setting EVERY measure to slash notation. I think I get what I need by modifying the definition for slash notation to show notes in all other layers, which is similar to your suggestion. Thanks.

Re: [Finale] Advice on drum set notation
I think I have mostly figured this out. You don't apply the slash style. Instead you put the punches into layer 2, then select the staff tool. Double click the measure and select alternate notation. In the alternate notation, you select slash notation applied to layer 1, then under all other layers check the Notes box. That seems to work, but maybe somebody has a more straightforward approach.
