Question reg. some articulation settings for drums

• Feb 18, 2018 - 11:03

I found this in instruments.xml, Battery Percussion, Tenor Drums, Bass Drums, and Cymbals:

                  <Articulation>
                        <gateTime>100%</gateTime>
                        <velocity>100%</velocity>
                  </Articulation>
                  <Articulation name="sforzato">
                        <velocity>130%</velocity>
                  </Articulation>
                  <Articulation name="umarcato">
                        <velocity>500%</velocity>
                  </Articulation>
 

Questions:

  1. that %, is it needed or does it even harm?
  2. that 1st section is the default anyway, so shouldn't(couldn't we drop it here?
  3. the 2nd section might be OK, 10 points more than the default, is this intended?
  4. the 3rd section, that umarcato, shouldn't that rather be marcato?

  1. The % doesn't harm, it works the same with or without it.
  2. Should be indeed fine since it's the default. This is stored in MuseScore file though... so I wouldn't change it in 2.2.
  3. I guess it is... (same remark)
  4. umarcato doesn't exist anymore indeed. Should be marcato.
