thank you.
Typically you wouldn't use a patch change to accomplish this, since the
percussion channel (10) has many many different sounds, including triangle.
Most such mixed percussion staves would have each instrument assigned to
a different line or space, and defined when you set the staff up in the
first place. Of course, this involves digging into one of the still
untamed (and still unchanged after zillions of upgrades) areas of the
seamy underbelly of Finale. That is the editing of the percussion maps
to get the sounds you want to be heard when you place the notes you want
on the lines/spaces you want.
Editing the percussion maps requires equal parts of black magic, voodoo,
perspiration, dumb luck, perseverance, utter brilliance, never-say-die
spirit, knowledge of Finale.
But once you've gotten it edited properly, you will be able to simply
put the triangle notes on the defined line or space, and then a simple
text expression without any playback defined will work fine, to tell the
player to use the triangle.
Good luck, brew yourself a big pot of strong coffee and have the Scotch
bottle handy. You'll need them both.
