Yes -- although most of the entries in Finale's default percussion maps use standard noteheads rather than X noteheads.

Yes. I don't spend a lot of time on playback details, but it's very disconcerting to play back a piece that's supposed to use tom-toms and hear instead whistles and guiros and the like.

I suppose that one solution would be to turn off percussion notation before I print. Except that there might be occasions when I *do* want X noteheads, and turning off percussion notation would lose those. Basically, I want all the advantages that a percussion map offers, except that I want whole notes displayed with whole note noteheads.

Thanks,
Aaron.
