Hand Notation
Derek Lee
Hi Christian Gau and welcome to the Beat Note Community! I appreciate you taking the time to check out the roadmap and add your request here.
I have good news for you - Beat Note already supports adding sticking annotations to beats. It sounds like this wasn't easy for you to find, so I'll take that feedback and see how I can make this easier for you to discover.
Here are some screenshots that show the steps to add sticking to music:
#1. First add some notes that are played on drums with the hands, like the snare drum, toms, or hi-hat. (Without notes, sticking cannot be added.)
#2. Tap on "Notation" to pull up a dropdown menu and select "Sticking"
#3. Use either the quick-add buttons to add pre-defined stickings or simply tap inside the grid to add the sticking for each note that is played with the hands.
I appreciate you bringing this up - I'll add this to my list of content to make for Instagram. (Please follow on there as well if you aren't already: https://www.instagram.com/beatnoteapp Thanks!!)
There are a few other enhancements other people have asked for:
Use both uppercase and lowercase letters for sticking:
