Muse Score for Pipe Band Tenor Drumming
I play in a pipebane and have used Drum Scriobh for years for writing scores. However, I would like to use MuseScore going forward. However, after a lot of playing about I am not sure it can accommodate what I need and wondered if anyone could advise if I am wasting my time before persevering.
I am looking to write my scores and have playback as well, hence my interest in Muse. Our pipe band uses 3 pitches of tenor (the built in sounds are not similar in anyway but I can get on with that) as well as a bass drum. When writing a score, it is usually constructed with a single line (beats above represent right hand and below represent left hand). I am happy to move to adding the pitches separably (i.e. a line for alto, mid, baritone and bass as opposed to all beats on 1 line) but I cannot see any way to create an instrument where I can have the same sound above and below the line. Furthermore the bass and tenor corps should have a bass clef which also cannot seem to change. If I create a new instrument such as:
< instrument>
< name>Mid Pitch
< short-name>KCPBATD
< stafflines>3
< clef>1
< drumset>1
< Drum pitch="48">
< head>0
< line>-1
< voice>3
< name>Right
< /Drum>
< Drum pitch="48">
< head>0
< line>1
< voice>3
< name>Left
< /Drum>
< Articulation>
< gateTime>100%
< velocity>100%
< /Articulation>
< Articulation name="sforzato">
< velocity>130%
< /Articulation>
< Articulation name="umarcato">
< velocity>500%
< /Articulation>
< channel>
< program>95
< /channel>
< /instrument>
Then only 1 of the beats shows. If I make sure that right and left have a different pitch then it works as expected. Any ideas if this is even possible? I have attached an example of what I have created in the past and what I am thinking of moving to.... However, the playback is also important and is what I cannot figure out.
thanks

I'm looking for the same thing. Let me know if anyone has a solution. All I need is the same snare sound on two lines. I have it working with Concert Snare. The Notation is great, but the two sounds are snare and side stick. Not great. If I can edit the side Stick note sound, all will be just fine.
