Hi, Chi.
You'd need to use the General MIDI 1 soundset notation if you wanted
to write percussion parts e.g., C2 for kick drum, D2 for snare, C#2
for sidestick. I'm not sure what the notation looks like in print re
the noteheads; I haven't tried printing a percussion part out yet.
It probably wouldn't handle slash notation very well.
HTH,
Dani
