NoteWorthy Composer Forum

Could something be done to make it more obvious that a half note with an x head is a half note?  Maybe a half note with an x inside the note?  Granted, the spacing tells one something, but a half note doesn't look much different from a quarter note.

Perhaps you could use one of these:

!NoteWorthyComposerClip(2.5,Single)
|Text|Text:"_X"|Font:StaffCueSymbols|Pos:0|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0
|Text|Text:"_X"|Font:StaffCueSymbols|Pos:0|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0f
|Bar
|Text|Text:"j"|Font:StaffCueSymbols|Pos:0|Justify:Center|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0x
|Text|Text:"š"|Font:StaffCueSymbols|Pos:0|Justify:Center|Placement:AtNextNote
|Note|Dur:Half|Pos:0x
!NoteWorthyComposerClip-End

Thanks Rick,
these are definite possibles.

Rick,

Those do look good. Thanks.  I think I tried something else last time I had some percussion to write, but I don't quite remember. 

Umm, this doesn't work?

For a drum kit, an x in a circle means something different to an x without a circle, of course the diamond is not strictly correct either...

Laurie,

Yes, that works, too.  Thanks.
