Re: Rolls Reply #1 – 1998-06-15 04:00 am Some midi boxes actually have a roll somewhere in their percussion patches, but it's not standard General Midi.If you are writing the percussion part, you'll have a little trouble making it legible for the percussionists, as NWC doesn't support standard percussion clefs (yet?).You could probably right a muted staff, and then implement what you wrote on another staff.If you just want rolls to sound right, try 32nd notes or even 64ths (depending on your tempo). Sometimes having a second track playing slightly out of time helps.Andrew Quote Selected

Re: Rolls Reply #3 – 1998-07-06 04:00 am Okay, after months of trying to figure it out, I think I have a solution to your problem!!!! What I do, is write it out regularlyand just where the roll goes, use a regular note. Then makea hidden staff where you notate out a roll in 32nd notes, if you want a nice open roll, or 64+notes if you want a buzz roll. ThenHide that staff. As for looks on notation, just find what ever note starts the roll on the normal staff, and put an = with a non-preserved width text. It looks good enough for usdumb drummers to figure out what it is. It takes a little tinkering but it works.Hope it helps. Quote Selected
