How do I make a hi-hat in Sibelius?
Click the first notehead and then hold down CTRL (Command on Mac) and click on the other notehead(s). Then, click the + or o as needed. When entering open and closed hi-hat indications in Sibelius, when you click on the note with the open hi-hat articulation, you may not get the open hi-hat sound.
How do you write congas in Sibelius?
Add the Congas, 4 lines instrument to your score, select it amd click the Edit Instrument button. Look at the Staff Type. You may be surprised how much more there is to Congas than merely "hit the big one, hit the little one"! Then get over to YouTube, type in "Congas" and see what you're trying to imitate!
