What is a single line instrument?

Single-line instruments. Kit instruments are shown as individual instruments with their own lines. Normal-sized staff labels are shown for each instrument. The editing area in the Edit Percussion Kit dialog lists all of the instruments in the order in which they appear in the score.

The staff didn't always have five lines and four spaces. That didn't become standard practice until the 13th century.

These one-line staves served to indicate approximate pitch, rather than definite pitch (F#, A, etc.).
