Drum Palette Missing In MuseScore 3

• Apr 27, 2019 - 20:01

Hi there,

I've set the part properties to Drumset, selected my quaver and hit N but the drum palette that is supposed to appear at the bottom does not appear. What am I doing wrong? ANy time I click to enter a note I get some random percussion sound.

HELP!

set the part properties to Drumset??? In Mixer?
That won't work (and I'm not sure about the purpose of that setting), it needs to be a drumset instrument in order for drumset notation to work

There's another reason why it won't show up. I just discovered this now. When inserting the DRUMSET instrument in the instruments pane, make sure under staff type, it's set to "Perc. 5 lines". Mine was set to "Custom Standard" for some reason.

For other instruments, it's usually set to "Standard".

I hope this helps.

woah i fixed it by going to staff properties, changing the instrument from drumset to drumset (yes, its the exact same), and unticking the drumset check box in the mixer.

i forgot to give context, so it's this: I have it set up where im using a custom soundfont for the drums, but still able to notate using the drum pallette, but to use the soundfont i have to choose it from the mixer, which doesn't allow me to choose an instrument if the drumset box is ticked, so i had to untick it, which works, somehow. Programming is such a cursed science
