Percussion clef

When the Percussion clef is inserted into a staff line, MIDI channel assignment of the

back as MIDI drums. Note pitch-to-MIDI drum assignments are mapped in Drumset

option under the Playback menu.

These are not clefs per se. Rather than insert with a mouse click, they are applied to

selected notes by dragging to select the notes to be modified. Playback of selected

notes will be an octave higher when selecting with Octava tool and an octave lower

when selecting with Octavo tool.
