Drum notation question with example

• May 19, 2010 - 14:56

Hi,
Can anybody help me to execute drum notation as illustrated in the attachment.
I can't figure it out and it doesn't seem clear in the hand book.
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. It's a little sloppy but you'll get the idea

Create a new drums 5 lines score
Press N
Got to percussion palette and choose closed hihat
In the tool bar choose 8th note (or press 4)
With the mouse enter the 8th notes for hihat
In percussion palette choose bass drum and choose [[nodetitle:voice]] 1
With the mouse click on the sheet to put the two bass drum
Same for snare.

Hi,
I can't seem to find voice 1 in the percussion palette.
As a result i get 2 separate lines instead of the stems being attached.
Also the second line has rests which I don't need. Flipping the stem direction
doesn't help.
If I can find the voice function, will that enable the 2 (or 3) note heads to have 1 stem?
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. I assume this would be the same for the example with the asterisk.
