Create a new mapped staff style by choosing New > Mapped Style in the Staff Style
window, and inserting all desired staffs, voices, and drum groups—as described above,
and in “
 Staff section: Everything is identical to non-mapped staff styles (with the exception
of the missing Transpose and Key parameters, which wouldn’t make sense here).
 Voice section: Below Voice (in the top header line), you’ll see a separate Voice column,
where the different voices are numbered automatically. The staff style shown above
contains one staff with five independent voices.
 The horizontal lines display the Staffs-Voices-Drum Groups hierarchy, indicating the
borders between these elements. Each drum group belongs to the voice at the same
horizontal position. The Pos parameter affects the vertical positioning of all notes in
the corresponding drum group. The value shown here is an offset—which is added
to, or subtracted from—the relative positions (if defined for individual notes in the
Mapped Instrument window).
Mapped staff style names are preceded by the # character in the Staff Styles window.
Using Multiple Drum Maps in a Project
If you are using several MIDI instruments with different drum assignments, you can
create a separate drum map (in the Mapped Instrument window) for each instrument.
The list of drum groups, however, is the same for all instruments in a project. This
enables you to display different drum tracks with the same mapped staff style. All snare
drums, for example, will be displayed in the same way.
To override this behavior:
1
Create additional drum groups (Kick2, Snare2, and so on).
2
Create a second mapped staff style to display these drum groups.
