Now that it is possible to reproduce the Single Line staves often used for drum notation, I expect that there will be many queries regarding transposition to reach the correct note for the instrument! The default line for BASS clef is central D and for TREBLE is central B. Here is my sugested guide: !b(Bass Clef Octave None, with note placed on center line D, no accidental:) !tabulardata(Drum|Staff Properties Transposition) Acoustic_Bass_Drum|-15 Bass_Drum_1|-14 Side_Stick|-13 Acoustic_Snare|-12 Hand_Clap|-11 Electric_Snare|-10 Low_Floor_Tom|-9 Closed_High_Hat|-8 High_Floor_Tom|-7 Pedal_High_Hat|-6 Low_Tom|-5 Open_High_Hat|-4 Low_Mid_Tom|-3 High_Mid_Tom|-2 Crash_Cymbal_1|-1 High_Tom|0 Ride_Cymbal_1|+1 Chinese_Cymbal|+2 Ride_Bell|+3 Tambourine|+4 Splash_Cymbal|+5 Cowbell|+6 Crash_Cymbal_2|+7 Vibraslap|+8 !tabulardata-end !b(Treble Clef Octave None, with note placed on center line B:) !tabulardata(Drum|Staff Properties Transposition) Ride_Cymbal_2|-12 High_Bongo|-11 Low_Bongo|-10 Mute_High_Conga|-9 Open_High_Conga|-8 Low_Conga|-7 High_Timbale|-6 Low_Timbale|-5 High_Agogo|-4 Low_Agogo|-3 Cabasa| -2 Maracas| -1 Short_Whistle|0 Long_Whistle|+1 Short_Guiro|+2 Long_Guiro|+3 Claves| +4 High_Wood_Block|+5 Low_Wood_Block|+6 Mute_Cuica|+7 Open_Cuica|+8 Mute_Triangle|+9 Open_Triangle|+10 !tabulardata-end See attached example.
