How do I score unpitched percussion, like maracas?
I can't find a way to add percussion that isn't part of the drumset! The part is added to the score, but I can't figure out which key will make the rhythms I want show up on the designated line. I hope that makes sense.

I actually just hit a bunch of keys at random (having looked at that page and also searched for "unpitched percussion." I stumbled on "A" as the way to input.

So you found nothing about the drum input bar at the bottom of the screen, nor the edit drumset possibilities that could've avoided all your stumbling?
Really depends on the context. Orchestral score? Kit Score? In an orchestral score you’d just add an instrument for this (or condense it with a second percussion instrument).
