Issues with drum notation
Okay, so I've been playing around with MuseScore and have been having a lot of fun recreating my music in it, however, I seem to have run into a little issue. I have a drum line where it plays a hi-hat and a hi-tom simultaneously, resulting in the two notes being right next to each other on the staff, as shown in the attached picture. As far as I know, the notes would normally be staggered in such a situation, so you can see both of them... however, the drum notation refuses to stagger regardless of what I do. Even when I try to manually flip one of the notes, it completely ignores it, so I'm stuck with the overlapping notes. Is this supposed to happen?
Using version 1.1 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (old, I know, but it works)

You can edit the drumset concerned so that the hihat is displayed on a different line.
If you're not sure how to do that, see my video on the subject at:

Oh, that's neat. And a bit of research tells me that it's perfectly normal for different sheet music to define the drum notes differently anyway, which is something I never knew before. XD; Thank you! ^_^
