Notation for pop/slap bass
Hi all,
is it possible to notate pop and slap bass sound on one staff, so that it's played back?
See some examples: http://www.hqslapbass.com/funk-slap-exercises/
I can add any notation to the staff (e.g. T P for thumbing and plucking), and the mixer has sounds for both but, unless I have one staff for slap and one for pop, I can't make musescore play it correctly.
Is there a way to have the two sounds on the same staff?
Thanks!
Diego

You'd proably have to hand-tweak the mscz (or rather the msx inside) to allow for different channels, similar to violin and trumpet, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/mixer#mid-staff-change, how it works for those.
Actually the basses have 3 channes already, pizzicato (plucked), arco (bowed) and tremolo, you could (miss-) use those to switch to the pop and slap sounds

Thanks!
The electric bass doesn't show the different channels in the dialog. While I can see "pizzicato" or "mute" for violin and trumpet, the electric bass offers only "normal". Can I add a channel for electric bass? Is it what you meant with hand-tweak? I don't think I have the skills to modify the binary MSCZ.
Otherwise, yes, I can misuse the acoustic bass channels. That seems to do the trick.

Adding channels to the electic bass would wotrk the same way, just work on an mscx instead and with a plain text Editor
Might be a feature request to add those channels to all plucked basses

@Diego Puppin, a dirty trick: two instruments, the second invisible. Two voices in the first stave, the second voice mute...
