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.


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:

Sibelius 7 starts on page 352.įinale: Go to Help > User Manual and search for Drum Maps. From the index go section 4.13 Percussion. Sibelius: go to Help > Reference and read the section on Drum Maps. If you are new to drum maps, read about them in the documentation. Drum maps are needed since percussion instruments have multiple sounds and noteheads assigned to the same line or space in a part. In this post, I will go through the steps to notate open and closed hi-hat indications in drum set parts in Finale and Sibelius.īoth Finale and Sibelius use a drum map for percussion parts.
