Maybe you could persuade finaletips.nu to add a section on this and
perhaps people can contribute to it? Might be a good project.....

Maybe I should describe more completely what I'm trying to
accomplish. I often write charts for combos or big bands. For me,
Finale is all about getting the notation clear for the live
performance. My only interest in the realistic playback is to help me
catch errors and improve the flow of the arrangements. I am
definitely NOT looking for realistic drum parts and definitely not
human-sounding fills.
I'm looking for exactly the OPPOSITE of that. If there is a style
change (say from rock to funk), I'll write a bar or two in the drum
set part so the drummer knows what style we're looking for, then he's
on his own. From there, I only write important punches.
The Drum Groove feature is what I need. But I need a collection of
simplified style examples. Some of the ones in the standard list are
useful, but there are probably 15 or 20 other common styles that an
arranger would want to show from time to time.
I suppose a top flight drummer is supposed to know how to play a
"bossa with 2-3 son clave", but I'd rather just write it out for them
so there is no confusion.
I can make these up for myself from examples in "The Drummer's
Bible". I just thought somebody might already have done this.
Moreover, it would be really great if FinaleMusic would supply ALL THE
EXAMPLES from The Drummer's Bible.
Thanks for listening.
