Gettting to rhythms from notes! Stealing good stuff
I know that ONCE I managed to take a staff of notated material, and obtain a staff of pure rhythms from those notes. I have several reasons that lead me to wanting to do that again. BUT I FORGOT HOW I DID IT?
Does anyone have a clue. If I transfer "notes" to a percussion instrument, although it gives me the XXX form in the percussion lines, it still plays NOTES! (Whereas if I have a pure percussion XXX line, and transfer to a note line, I can vary the NOTE value for each percussion note, and come up this progressions and harmonies of my own, but in another person's rhythms!)

PS: I don't know whether to be scared or delighted, but I've noticed the typical lag time on responses (almost always totally correct!) is about 3 hours. GO TO IT MUSESCORERS!

Sometimes the time drops to a few seconds but it depends on who is online (and from which part of the world). I don't speak English and I don't think I understand what you mean. Surely you have consulted the handbook, have some patience and an answer will come.

If you copy pitched notes into a percussion staff, then after pasting press the up or down-arrow to have them snap to the nearest defined drumset note.
