Align hi-hat and snare drum

• Dec 8, 2021 - 08:15

Hi guys.

I'm trying to align the hi-hat and snare drum but I can't figure this out. Been browsing topics on the forum and google it but didn't find the answer. I know there's alot of ways to write drum scores but in this case i really need it to be written like this. The spacing is totally off.

Look at the attached picture.

Using the MuseScore defaults those should align to my knowledge.
Please share the actual score (mscz) for inspection.

What you are seeing is an (enlarged) rounding error. It's enlarged because you've set that single staff to scale to 140%.

I'd suggest leaving the staff scaling at 100%, but just turning up the overall score scaling instead (Format > Page Settings). As the current sp value is 1,750mm, you'll want a new value of 2,45mm for that same 140% increase. This'll also better scale up all other staff-attached symbols.

You'll also notice a 2nd page is now created to hold that frame with the number 17. I'm guessing this is supposed to be a page number?
Instead use the Format > Style > Footer option to display the page number, Format > Style > Text Styles > Footer to set the formatting of it as you want (Arial, bold 12pt) and use Format > Page Settings > First page number value field to adjust it back to 17.

Personally I'd also make work of lowering that very large music top margin again, but I'll leave that up to you.
