However, when you press Play, the open and closed sounds should be heard where indicated.ĭr. When entering open and closed hi-hat indications in Sibelius, when you click on the note with the open hi-hat articulation, you may not get the open hi-hat sound. Click the first notehead and then hold down CTRL (Command on Mac) and click on the other notehead(s).

TIP: You can select more than one note at a time to add the + or 0 marking.

Select the notehead and use the 4th Keypad Layout (Articulations) to add the + for closed and the 0 for open.

Enter the hi-hat notes as you want them to play back.

Since I often play in the notation from a MIDI keyboard, I delete and open notehead from the drum map leaving just the one with the o articulation over it for open hi-hat. However, if you are entering with the mouse or computer keyboard, you have to manually assign the articulations to the notes. In Sibelius, if you play in the open and closed hi-hat from a MIDI instrument, the notehead will be changed automatically and since the X and open notehead occur first in the map, they will appear. You must enter the appropriate hi-hat sound as they are being entered. It is important to realize that in Finale, the + and o articulations are for visual purposes only. While holding down the letter click on the note to assign the articulation: open (o) and closed (+). With the Articulations tool selected, hold down the letter “I” for = or the letter “O” for open. TIP: Use the metatool assigned to these markings for faster entry.

Choose the + for closed or the o for open.

I enter the proper hi-hat sound and then go back and add the articulations to the notes: + for closed and o for open.Īfter entering the notation for the hi-hat, add the + and o to the noteheads by: In Finale the drum set map has both the open and closed hi-hat assigned to the same X notehead. In Sibelius, the drum set map includes both a different notehead for open and closed hi-hat and the articulations. This can cause problems when there is a half note in the hi-hat as the circled X is the same notehead used for half and whole notes. In Finale, this requires that you go into the drum map and change the notehead assigned to the open hi-hat from an X to a circled X. The other option is to use a different notehead for open hi-hat and an x for closed hi-hat. Usually, if there is a closed sign, you don’t have to put it on every note, just after an open sign is used. The most common is to use the articulations + for closed and o for open. There are two ways that open and closed hi-hat is typically notated. Here is the link to the quickstart video:
