One line in staff, for percussion.

I would greatly appreciate information on how to get a staff with one line in it while writing...A staff that would be used for an instrument like a snare drum.

Thank you!!!

Staff Properties (F2), Visual tab, reduce "Lines" to 1.

When you set the staff to just one line, that will be the middle line.  You will need to experiment with staff transpositions to make sure the "note" you need falls on that line.  On DRUMREF in your Samples folder, the snare drum is the 1st D natural below the bass clef.  In your piece you would have to transpose (Alt/T  T) +12 semitones, leaving the transposition box checked.
