If anyone can help, please do!

I own Finale Allegro 2005. All of the VDL 2 sounds work fine with my Finale except for the Battery basses. When I load the instrument there are no sounds in the staff in Allegro. It seems that the VDL sounds are not lined up to the correct spaces on the staff.

Any suggestions?

Are you using the template for 2005?  Have you saved the library fopr percussion map and then loaded that into another document? When you double-click the staff an click on SELECT where it says ";Notation Style: Percussion"; what is highlighted?  Allegro does not have the option of creating or editing maps - just choosing them.  Mac or windows?

No I have not been using the template. Do you have to?

I just tried it with the template and there are more sounds but the normal drum hits are not in the spaces of the staff. Even for the tenors. What is the process of saving a library for a percussion map?

In the template, under ";Notation Style: Percussion,"; VDL 2 Bass Line Full was highlighted. I have Windows.

Yes, you have to user the template in conjunction with the supplied keymaps that are in the VDL manual.  Life is about to get a lot easier for you!

At the moment, I am no where near my VDL manual. Can you explain the supplied keymaps or should I wait to reply once I've looked through my manual?

The manual will explain.  If you have questions after using the template and keymaps, feel free to ask.

Will do. Thank you.
