You are here: How do I... > P > Percussion > Loading a percussion layout library

We’ve provided a library that contains percussion layouts with note definitions already configured for you. You can either use the percussion layouts as they are, or edit them for use with percussion staves in your document.

To load a percussion library

  1. Choose File > Load Library.
  2. Locate and select the percussion library that you want to open. The percussion notation library included with Finale is named Percussion Layouts.LIB. It is located in the Libraries folder in your Finale folder.
  3. Click OK. Finale loads the library into the current document, then returns you to the music. The percussion layouts contained in the library will appear in the Percussion Layout Selection dialog box. The most recently loaded libraries appear at the bottom of the list box.
