with all due respect sir, that's a lie, that's an outright lie!
you can do the same in any layer.
Well, I know I CAN do it, but I won't want to if I want all the music
in the OTHER staves to stem in the normal directions! That's why I
keep cues in their own layer.
i rarely make drumset parts, but would agree with keeping music,
not slashes, in layer 1, since layer 1 is the one you most commonly
work in in general, and then the voice order corresponds to the
layer order (as we usually do when working with multiple voices).
as i see it (of course others may prefer other ways):
1 - upstem notes
2 - downstem notes
3 - slash notation
4 - cues
Then how do you force layer one stems up without affecting the sax
parts? Manually? Reserving Layer 3 for that seems normal to me, so
slashes can go in Layer 1 where nothing else in the drum part will be.
out of curiosity, in jazz notation, what is standard for say cymbal
notation, with nothing else (no BD or whatever), would you still
notate it stems up (it sounds like it by your comments)?
Yes, I would, but just because I've always seen it that way. Now that
you mention it, it does seem a little odd, but it IS part of the
style. It seems hands are always stems up and feet are always stems
down, regardless of whether there are notes in the other layers or not.
