Shouldn't there be some sort of mallet staff, which would display the susp. cymbal parts correctly? Am I wrong or did the older version have this, of is it handled differently now?

Sorry for the simple questions, but it's been a while since I've used this stuff, and I'm kind of lost after upgrading.

I believe so, but can't remember off the top of my head. Somebody may chime in here, but I'd also suggest posting this question on The Write Score forums since they're specializing in Finale template-based questions.
