Normal Cursor and Drum Cursor

• Jul 24, 2010 - 01:04

In Note Entry mode when working on a Drum Set, I'm sure you'll know the arrow points upwards (instead of pointing at "11 o'Clock") and there doesn't appear to be a way to correct it (if you were working on another instrument).

Can someone explain it?

It points upwards in drum mode, but if I want to make changes to the piano, it remains that way.

Normally if it's a score with no drums, the cursor is the normal angled way.

I find the changing cursor a bit distracting and I'm not fond of the upward one generally (I don't know if there was a reason for selecting this). Can it be the angled one permanently?

The arrow points up even for scores without drums (maybe you didn't notice before).

Notation for drums is a little tricky. To get out of drum notation you need to do the same thing you did to get into drum mode, i.e. Start in normal mode (or leave note entry mode), Select a note or rest on the staff you want to edit (in this case you want to edit the piano staff). Press "N" to start note entry.
