Drumsets have their own folder?

• Feb 8, 2015 - 04:52

The default drumset is located in the templates folder, but what do others think about it having its own folder and path setting in Preferences?

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build b9e10df - Mac 10.7.5.

Are you really expecting to be setting up lots of different drumsets? That's the whole point of these settings. I would think you would mostly create one or two drumsets and use them mostly. Can you describe your use case?

1. There is the default one.

2. I have my own customised one for drum staves.

3. Some books include a drumset key for percussion staves (not something I do myself though).

4. Sometimes the default for types of percussion isn't useful.

Two examples: I use claves and castanets for low and high sounds of the latter. I don't like the mapping of congas - I prefer them to be on top, middle and low lines.

Yes, the need to customize drumsets in general I get. The need for *multiple different customizations* seems like something that very, very few people would ever need. Unlike the need for multiple scores, or multiple template. So that is why I wonder why we would need to further clutter the dialog with a series of options that 99.99% of users would never use, and even those who might use, don't really need, since it works just fine to use the existing folders. That is what I am still not understanding.
