As I said before, change the notation style to Standard, so you're not using
a map, and use a normal bass clef. Then you'll be able to enter notes on
the staff in their positions according to their MIDI numbers. Note 38 is
D2, which is the D space below the bass clef staff.
Once you've
OK, I tried that, but when I enter a D below the bass clef staff, then
turn on percussion style playback and select my map, it goes to the
space below the 10th ledger line below the staff. If I use the D on the
bass clef staff, it shows up where I want it to, but no sound comes
out. When I turn
The percussion clef uses the same staff positions as the treble clef. So
MIDI 38 will appear many ledger lines below.
Make sure when defining the staff that you choose Percussion notation
rather than Standard. Since you're still using Fin2001, I don't recall the
specific steps. Things are easier
Golden Rule (not to be broken):
** Do not enter notes on the percussion staff while you have a map applied.

They most likely won't sound correctly, or maybe not sound at all. This is
why you're not hearing anything on D1, which should be a High Tom. Always
enter the notes as I described,
Ryan, I'm using Fin2005 and the percussion map issue is the same as 2001.
Entering notes while Percussion notation style is applied simply doesn't
work, I've spent many exasperating hours trying to figure it out. Maybe
there is a better method I haven't discovered, but entering notes in
OK, I followed your instructions exactly, and the same thing happened.
Then I followed your instructions on a new document with a single staff
line and it worked perfectly. I then created a whole new score, pasted
the other parts from the old score to the new score (except for the
snare drum
