Hello, First off I am not a musician by any means. My problem is percussion. Not all the different sounds I need can I hear. Right now I need Temple blocks with a hi low sound. All I can get is one tone. On the sheet music I have, it shows one line with notes above and below. But I can not duplicate this. I have Finale V26, Win 10.

The Temple Blocks Map has 5 different pitches. However, the wizard only picks one, which is odd. Anyway, you can edit the Layout and add any or all of the other pitches. My file has two sounds with a one line staff, as you described.

Thank you Zuill. That is exactly what I needed. I was able to duplicate what you did. I wish Makemusic had a better way to explain how to do to things. I had read through that part but never got it to work. It makes a difference having an example to work with. Once again thank you.
