Hi, Dmitry.
I haven't written percussion for a symphony band before, but know that you can
find the single ine staves for cymbals and triangle under Orchestral
Instruments in the Percussion and Drums family. Both are played with the hands,
so will have stems up. The single line uses the B4 pitch.
The triangle uses the normal notehead with the staccato, tenuto (open
triangle), and plus (closed/muted triangle) articulations. The cross notehead
can also be used for the closed triangle. Finally, the triangle notehead can be
used for the regular notehead (Sib Access describes it as "arrow up").
The cymbal uses the regular notehead. You can use write text before the note to
indicate "bell" or "edge", or go to the symbols dialog box and arrow through to
find the pictorial diagrams for the bell and edge (requires sighted help.)
HTH,
Dani

Subject: [sib-access] writting percussion correctly
Hi!
I am making an arrangement for the symphony band. I have been given a template
which among all other instruments contains two one line percussion staves.
First of them is called "percussion I", another one – "percussion I, II"
respectively. I also have timpani and glockenspiel in the score, but since
there are no problems with them I will not talk about them here. I need to use
cymbals including the suspended cymbal, big drum and triangle. How I should
write these instruments? What will be on the first line, what on the second
with stem up, and what on the second with stem down? Should I mark triangle
with any special notehead like it is made in some scores or not? I am sorry for
this allmost offtopic question, but I never had such experience and usually
write percussion a bit different way than it is offered in this template.
Thanks in advance.
Dmitry.
