Unpitched percussion

Unpitched percussion is one of the more complex parts of music notation, and although we have tried hard to hide as much of this complexity as possible in Sibelius 5, if you find writing for percussion instruments and getting appropriate playback difficult, you’re not the only one.

In this short tutorial video (just under 16 minutes) Daniel Spreadbury, Product Manager for Sibelius, sets out to explain the relationship between the unpitched percussion instruments you create in your score, the Mixer, the House Style > Edit Instruments dialog, and your chosen playback device.
