More percussion instruments

Is it possible to add more instruments to Noteworthy Composer?

For example, I would like to use the different pieces of a standard drum set such as the cymbals, and the bass, snare, and tenor drums.  I am currently using the Synth Drum in the E position of the Bass clef for the snare, and the Taiko drum in the C and A positions for the Tenor and Bass respectively.  However, the Reverse Cymbal and the Synth Drum don't adequately provide the sound I desire.

I noticed that one of the files included in the demo, drumref.nwc, features many percussion instruments, and I wanted to know how I could use those same sounds without the use of a midi keyboard.  Would I have to purchase an add-on?  Does the registered copy feature more instruments?

Thanks

To get more percussion instroments, go to the staff properties then go to channel 10 where it has the channels.  Hope that works. :)

Yep, just set to channel 10 (most boards) and the note positions on the staff determine what instrument will play.

Translation:

Gloria was sick in the minibus on Monday ;-)

(PS - Do they have Ford Transits outside the UK? And do they call them minibuses - the ones that aren't vans, that is).

(PPS - Does anyone care?)

(PPPS - This is drifting rapidly off topic - sorry, I was just in a silly mood!)

No. Here (North America) "transit" usually is taken to mean transportation of the public variety. So here that venerable Latin phrase translates to "Gloria was sick on the city bus Monday." Has a bit more impact, doncha think? :-p
