Dear Brad,
Do you have MIDI Thru set to "Smart" so that Speedy Entry will give you the instrument sound set for the staff you are working on?

Yes. I do have the MIDI understanding to get it to work decently, but the specific locations of percussion instruments often changes from piece to piece for me. There's no one "default set" for me that will be close enough to what I need in all cases.

I set up my maps so that the entered pitch corresponds to where it displays. So if I want snare on the third line, for example, I set MIDI pitch B4 to play back as 38, display on staff position 6. But of course everyone has their own method.
Well, I was actually unaware that it was possible to set the entered pitch separate from the playback pitch (I assume that was covered in David's tutorial, but as my current method works fine for me I haven't read it). That does sound interesting, but since I've already got a method I like I doubt I'll try it anytime soon.
