Thanks, Christopher, for your quick reply. The issue which I failed to mention is that they occur while the children are singing and there is little room on the score for extra staves. I will need to figure out a way to have the notes hanging above the vocal stave. I guess I was hoping there might be a symbol I could place above the stave, rather than an actual note which would create ledger lines. Lee

That would be X-head notes with an English text just above saying “finger snap”. I usually see this on the 3rd space of the staff when it is JUST finger snaps. For the side pat, you should probably put the X-head note on a different space (probably lower) to differentiate it, but still with the text. I doubt there is anything truly standard, but if there is, jef chippewa would know it!
