You define the staff as a percussion staff in the staff tool, then you click the SELECT button and choose the type of entry/playback you want. I find the general midi choice to be a good one to start with.
Then you click the edit button, and here is where the fun begins.
You need to scroll down the possible sounds in the left-hand column to find the sounds you want. Then you need to edit the staff position so the note will show up where you want it (and will playback appropriately when entered at that line/space). Then you need to put a checkmark in the little box in the bottom right panel Notes To Use For [staff name], the check-box is labeled Highlighted Note.
Repeat this for each sound you want to have active, and get its display set as you wish.
Once you are all set, click DONE then click SELECT and you can start entering your percussion notes.
It may take a little trial and error to get everything just as you want it.
Good luck.

I am sure that it must be possible to set it as a default so that, say channel 10 program 1 will play back note bellow staff as bass drum, note on middle line as snare, the notes in between as tom-toms, and the top lines as cymbals, for example. I just do not know how to achieve this marvelous effect. Your help would be much appreciated!

Wow, you have a chore!
I would simply open the score and all of the individual parts in separate windows, and simply copy and insert -- be careful to click INSERT under the EDIT menu, don't use the normal cmd-v (or whatever it is on macs for paste). Then I would save that part and move on to the next part.
After I had done that for each part, I would close the score and start working on the page layout for the parts.
Good luck.

Hi all:
I have just finished a piece for jazz band of 435 bars. I have extracted all of the parts, tweaked them for page turns and other things. I have now gone back to the score and added 60 more bars. How would you suggest adding the new bars to the finished parts without having to re-extract the parts again? I am using Fin2003a on a Mac G3.
Thanks for all of your help:
Bob Florence
