After Bob Florence's questions of a couple of weeks ago, I began to do a
bit of experimenting and goofing around with drum set notation, and have
made a major change to the way I work which may (r may not) work as well
for those of you who do drumset parts.
Rather than using the standard thing of putting slashes on layer 1, cues
on layer 2, and bass drum kicks on layer 3, I've found that it works
better to re-arrange this a bit.
Lemme 'splain. No - I'll sum up.
Slashes now go on layer 3.
Cues and snare/cymbal hits go on layer 1
Bass drum kicks go on layer 2
This is because:
1) the vast majority of the actual notation will stay on layer 1. This
lessens the number of layer changes you have to make - almost all of
your work can stay on the same layer.
2) if you enter snare/cymbal hits on layer 1 and bass drum kicks on
layer 2, and there are notes on both layers, Finale *automatically*
makes the stems on the notes oppose each other - layer 1 is up, layer 2
is down - which does not happen if you put these parts on layers 2 and 3.
3) There is no #3.
