Drum notation?

Where can i read about how i use logics drum notation? There is nothing in the manual, and only apple ads come up when i search "logic drum notation" in google!
I can't figure out what to do just by looking at it. I have made a track with some ultrabeat drums, and i have picked the "#drums" staff style. But i have many questions: why cant i place the hi hat "cross" where E would be on a G note staff as normal in drum notation? And how do i change or see where the drums are placed on the staff? Why cant a place notes on many of the lines in the staff? And how do i set a hihat as open or closed?
I don't understand where i am supposed to look for help, when there is nothing in the manual!
Thanks in advance.

you will have to create a drum map style. An alternative idea, would be to copy the midi track to a new instrument, and use it only for score display, don't assign any audio to it. high light all the "e's" and move them to A#. Those will now display in the score correctly

Problem exporting notation from score to PDF in Logic 8. Top line of staff displaced a 1/6th note when exported.

When I export drum notation from the score to pdf, it shifts the top line of the staff over by a 16th note. It looks the way I want in the program, but only does this when exported. I'm using Logic 8. Anyone know how to fix this? See the pictures attached below...
Here's a screen shot of the notation in Logic:
Here's what it looks like when exported to PDF:
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've tried both ways and had the same results. I discovered today though that if I zoom in all the way in the score the notation actually shifts over in Logic. I'm not sure why it does that, but now I know that it has nothing to do with exporting or how I export it. The notes should line up for this particular groove and I've tried with other beats and had the same results. Not sure if there's a setting somewhere that displaces certain lines of the staff or something of that nature. I can drag the notes over with the layout tool, but it'd be nice to have a preset to have it go where I want it and save myself time. Thanks for responding and if you have any other ideas let me know.

Drums not appearing in staff style list?

Am trying to convert some drummer tracks into drum notation however when i click staff style there is no option for drums. It appears to be missing

Hi,
!!![Make sure you have turned on all the advanced features in LPX as per the instructions in the User Guide…]!!!
then if still not available, you will have to create it yourself I'm afraid:

How do you export a drum track to Music XML from Logic Pro

I have a song in Logic Pro with a compound drum track that consists of a Drummer subtract as well as a manually written drum track using the same kit (for specific fills and kicks) as well as a drum line with auxilliary percussion. I kinda figured there was no way to combine the subtracts, so I am OK exporting each to Music XML separately (although if someone knows how to combine, I am all ears). I created a new software instrument using the same drum kit as the Drummer track and options-dragged the Drummer track to the new software instrument to convert it. However, when I view the Score Editor window for ANY of the three drum tracks, it does not come up in drum notation, but in bass cleff. The Style is blank and I don't know how to change it to drums.
I want to export to MusicXML to give my drummer music, so I am exporting this to Musescore.
Does anybody know how to export drum tracks properly? I am using Logic Pro 10.0.7
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick response!
I got the Join part, but when I look at the Score view for the song below I don't get the characteristics editor your screenshot shows (see attachment one). However, I can pull this up if I select on the regions in the track I want and select Window -> Score Editor. However, under Style, I can select the pulldown with a bunch of pre-defined options, non-of which are "#Drums". How does one put #Drums into the Style field (see second attachment)?

Creating a custom drum staff for score and hyper editor

Can anyone clearly explain, how to create a custom drum staff to use in Score page? Each manufactor uses a different mapping. I would like to create a drum score for Korg, Yamaha, BFD, Superior etc.
I often change drum kits (BFD, Yamaha, GM, Korg, etc) while working on a song. I want to create a drum staff style to accomodate each of these. So the drum notation will be standard drum notation.
There is a GM drum staff style in Logic. When I use a GM kit, it works fine. But the best drum instruments use several articulations of each drum. I can't figure out how to edit it a drum staff to display what I need.
For instance Kik is normally C1. But some some drum instruments might use B0, C1, G5, C-1, all playing different articulations of kiks. I need to create a staff style which will show all these different notes as showing up on the bottom of the drum staff (standard drum notation)
I can create a Hyper drumkit for each different brand of drum . But I can't figure out how you incorporate that into the score editor. You must have to create a custom drum staff. But it eludes me....
Thanx...

Thanks, i just found it also here:
http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.util/CustEvent.html
i need to define the following class:
- Custom Listener extending the EventListener interface
- Custom Event extending EventObject class
and then finally add the corresponding:
addXXXListener
removeXXXListener
fireXXXEvent
in my component.
This work Great in the NetBeans GUI Builder.
Thanks,

Looking for software

I wasn't really sure which forum to put this in, so if this is the wrong place... my apologies in advance.
This is a bit of a "general purpose" inquiry regarding a specific piece of software that may or may not exist.
I'm looking for a piece of "specialty" software for writing/composing drum notation that will run on OS X -- However, I'm not even sure that such software exists.
I have used various applications in the past (ie: CakeWalk, Finale Notepad, etc.). All of these support traditional notation for most instrumentation, but none of these support traditional drum score notation (or drum tab).
I'm looking for an OS X application that would allow for composing sheet music for individual percussion instruments (i.e. Concert Snare, Congas/Bongos, etc.) as well as drum kit.
Furthermore, I'm looking for software that properly notates (displays) rolls (i.e. 5-stroke, 7-stroke, 11-stroke, etc.) and other rudiment notation (i.e. stick bounces (Flams/Ruff), Accent Marks, Cymbal Chokes, Open Palm/Cupped Palm for hand drumming, etc.).
And of course, it should also support traditional notation markup for other musical elements such as "staccato", "forte", "allegro", etc.
Support for MIDI would also be a bonus.
If ANYONE knows of such sophisticated drumming software, please... let me know... thanks.

I don't know that it supports it, but GVox Encore is very popular for notation.

How can I stop Logic from displaying every Flam (grace not) with a "b"

How can I stop Logic from displaying every Flam (grace note) with a "b" in drum notation? Every time I give the independent/ grace note attribute to a note it is shown with a "b" even if I klick on "display it without ' or b"
many thanks for any useful advice

What the heck is wrong with mapped instruments?!?

I'm working on scoring a piece I wrote for marching band. I used the orchestral percussion instrument included in L8. I need to work with mapped instruments so that the score for the percussion part is readable, instead of having the bass drum 8 ledger lines below the staff, the crash cymbal 8 above, etc.
Mapped instruments should let me do this, but I think there is a bug. I don't know, I've never done this before.
My bass drum is played on D0, so I've mapped that to the drum group "bass drum". However, when I add the "bass drum" voice to my score style, nothing shows up, just rests. Other drums groups I've created do show up, although not all pitches I've assigned to them (for instance, I have a snare drum roll and a snare drum hit both assigned to the "snare" drum group, but only the hits show up in my score.
***???

I see your point, you're looking at it from score to MIDI. instead of MIDI to score. Mapped instruments DON'T change the note that is played they change the designation on the left side of the hyper editor from a key # to a drum name.. And on page 435 they say it is ideal for custom drum kits.
Where I get lost, and it seem implied to me in the manual that these custom drum hyper sets could be displayed in Score format.. I have tried to make drum score styles, but I just get stuck.
Lately I have gotten into the practise of making full orchestral scores of songs (but doing pop music). I've found it extremely helpful in arranging to be able to see 6 - 10 tracks of instruments and exactly what they are doing in every measure. It's easier to thin things out, fix note conflicts, see where sections or phrases need doubling, re-inforcement, or cutting. Also by doing this, I already have things fully scored out, and I need to make use 'standard music and drum notation'.
You can't change any notes on the DRUM MIDI track , because BFD2 or Superior drums will not play the correct articulation anymore. BFD hats have 9 articulations (different midi note for each hit). Yet you want to still display those in standard drum score as two different note heads on the line of the staff. And a lot of the other kits have a lot of articulations also. The point of it for me was that I could look at the score and fix things from there as song was playing.. And a drummer could look at it and see an accurate drum representation of what the file is playing.
You can easily edit regular instruments from score page, by sliding bass notes, cutting out grace notes etc. But with the drums you have to go back to the midi edit page.. Looking at a drum performance on the piano roll is hard (it's spread out over 5 or 6 octaves). A lot of times they create variations by using a lot of different articulations.
I can easily detect kick, snare, hats, toms on the piano roll, but the alternate articulations are a B*tch. I often drag a lot of the BFD 1 bar MIDI loops into Logic, then arrange those into a performance. But then you need to sometimes go in and 'even out' the hats, or snare hits, etc. Trying to do it on the piano roll, is time consuming, and you want to make sure you don't have two kick notes playing at same time etc, when you are in the midst of cutting, dragging, and pasting sections, of drum data.
I do on occassion make individual one line percussion staves to show congas or exotic percussion. But in general I want to use standard drum notation (kick, snare, hats, cymbals and toms on one drum percussion staff)
Another great reason to understand and use Drum Hypersets, is that you could switch drums midstream. Say you start with BFD drums but then want to move over to Addictive Drums.
I thought it would be possible to create a drum Hyperset to accomodate that. I started to look into it but got too bogged down trying to work it out
If anyone else has worked this out, please jump in..

I'm looking for a text/music notation app

I am a drummer in a cover band who would like to use my iPad for my shorthand version of drum charts. What I currently have is a paper notebook, in which I have dedicated a page for each set. On each page, I have the song title, then the main drum beat(s) (written in musical notation), followed by any notes regarding arrangement, tempo, etc. All of this is condensed down into a couple of lines, so I can fit about 10 songs on each sheet of paper. I could scan in what I have now and view it that way, but I would rather have clear and editable digital based notation and text. Does anything like this exist, not for composing and arranging orchestral pieces, but for simply inserting a bar or 2 of music into some text?
In other words:
Locked Out Of Heaven    I------------------------------------I   Intro/V/PC/C/V/C etc...        120 bpm
                                     I---Musical notation---------I
                                     I------------------------------------I
                                     I------------------------------------I

If Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver does not work, then it is unlikely iBooks will do text to speach on its own in the current version.
<http://www.apple.com/feedback>
I know that some competing services, Kindle, Nook, etc... are restricted in doing text to speach by the book publishers.
If this is text in a PDF (not an ebook), then maybe there is another app that can to text to speach on PDFs.
If it is published books that are of interest, there is Audible.com <http://www.audible.com/>
In theory it should be possible to use the Mac OS X Text to Speach facilities to convert a document into an audio file, and they sync that to the iPod Touch. I assume there is similar text to speach utilities for Windows systems.
I'm also guessing that there are web sites dedicated to assisting sight impaired individuals that might provide ideas for getting text to speach options for the iPod Touch.

Select Query resulting in Scientific Notation

Hello all,
I am running a Select query through a batch file that extracts data from an Oracle database. Several of the fields that I am extracting from contain numbers that are up to 38 digits long. When I extract the data, it converts the numbers into scientific notation and it is important for me to have the entire field. Is there something I can change to my query that will pull the data in its entire form? This is what I'm running now:
select * FROM ML.APPT where APPTDATE >= to_date('01/1/2010','mm/dd/yyyy'
I apologize in advance if this has been answered already.
Thanks!

>
When the extractor finishes, it returns the data into a flat file.
don't quite understand the TO_CHAR function. Does this function mean I need to say something like this: select "TO_CHAR('column name', 99999999999999999999999999999999999999" FROM ML.APPT where APPTDATE >= to_date('01/1/2010','mm/dd/yyyy')
>
Yes- if the tool you use to extract the data (your 'extractor') is converting the numeric data to a string then it is responsible for creating the string in the proper format. If the number is an integer that can have as many digits as you have '9's in your sample format string then that is what you need to do.
Here is how sql*plus (Oracle's tool) will display the data using default settings
SQL> select 12345678901234567890123456789012345678 no_format,
2 to_char(12345678901234567890123456789012345678, '99999999999999999999999999
999999999999') with_format
3 from dual;
NO_FORMAT WITH_FORMAT
1.2346E+37 12345678901234567890123456789012345678
SQL>
----- TOAD will display something similiar but the default uses more decimal digits in the scientific notation data
NO_FORMAT,WITH_FORMAT
1.23456789012346E37, 12345678901234567890123456789012345678You can either format the numeric data in the query using TO_CHAR or the 'extractor' can do it when it converts the data to a string.

Blotch on the printing drum of Select 360

I recently installed a new toner cartridge in my Select 360 Laserwriter. An ink blotch is showing up, mid-page, every inch and a half. I have gone ahead and printed out pages, hoping the blotch would come off on the print pages, but it persists after 100 pages.
Cartridge instructions warn against opening the flap or handling the drum. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Jim,
When you replace a toner cartridge, you also need to vaccum out the printer. Some toner has fallen into the printer rollers and is being picked up by the paper.
The inch and a half measurement tells you which roller it is because they use rollers of a different circumference in different locations of the printer so a technician can tell which roller needs to be cleaned.
I am not at the computer that has those measurements but I can look them up. You can also check "fixyourowncomputer.com" for additional cleaning help.
I would start with a vaccum and a soft felt pad. Good luck.
Jim

I recently installed the xbox 360 controller app so that I could play my rockband drums in logic and ableton live but I installed the wrong one and I was wondering if anyone knew how to uninstall it from the system preferences page and the whole program?

If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it and if anyone knows how to use the drum pads for those programs I mentioned would be great? I found a couple sites for using it with garageband but nothing as for mainly live and Im running OSX 10.6 so if anyone out there knows please let me know!!! The main reason I think I installed the wrong one is when I plug in the rockband drum kit to my usb port it dosen't show up in the xbox controller program but it lights up and I've tried all my different usb ports to see if that might be whats wrong but I still show nothing and I've also installed junXion and nothing shows up there either. So if anyone has any ideas just let me say thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

How do I use the Notation Declaration table on the Reference Pages in FM10 Win 7?

I can find no documentation to explain the Notation Declaration table that exists on the reference pages.
My DTDs (both XML and SGML) call for some specific notations to be used with certain graphic formats. For example, tiff files use the notation "TIF" and cgm files use the notation "CGM-BINARY". I am not using DITA or S1000D.
When round-tripping sgml and/or xml to/from FrameMaker I would like to get the graphic entity declarations to use notations that are alloted for in the DTD. I would like to avoid having additional notation statements in the sgml and/or xml.
I am using FrameMaker 10 on a Windows 7, 64-bit system.
Is this "Notation Declaration" table the correct place to look? Are there alternative methods to accomplish the notation assignment?
Thanks,
Mike

Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

Working in Logic 9, how do I use a drum loop WITH ITS PRESET EFFECTS? I can drag and drop the loop but it plays dry in timeline. thanks

Here's the short-cut solution:
Green Apple tracks are MIDI files (so to speak). If you drag one from the loop browser (Capitol C Orchestral hit, as you mentioned in this exable) directly into the arrange page it creates the MIDI file and the instrument to play it back on.
HOWEVER.If you create and audio track first, THEN drag the green Apple loop onto that track, the loop will get "bounced" with the reverb in tact and you'll have the exact sound that you heard in the preview.
Make sense?
