Snare Drum Buzzes

This feature request is specifically for tracking snare drum buzz articulations.
Here's the original request from @Jesse Rolland: I’ve expressed before that Beat Note has the potential to be amazing for strictly just writing Rudimental snare drum music. In fact that should be considered a major draw for younger kids in public school band and marching band. With that said we still need a couple more notations such as the rim shot and the buzz. Rim shot is an upward accent and the buzz is a “z” over the stem. Both of these are incredibly valuable on the drum kit for snare as well. Like they are almost as necessary as the flam (not quite though. Adding both definitely would make scrolling through the notations a bit more annoying but I think it’s necessary big time. In fact at this point it’s best practice to just hold the snare note for deletion vs cycling through the notations to delete so I don’t really see any negatives here. It would be great if we could get the flam, buzz, and rim shot trifecta package in the next update :). I may explode with pure bliss if do… Derek you are spoiling us with all of these amazing new features haha…

Yes we need the buzz note and the buzz roll. We also need the rim shot/stick shot! Appreciate the work you are doing Derek!

Benny Amon Thanks for this! I've been waiting for someone to ask for stick shots! 🎉 I've created a request here and added your vote to it: https://beat-note.canny.io/feature-requests/p/snare-drum-stick-shot-articulation
Your simple expression of gratitude means so much, I can't even begin to tell you!! 🙇🏻♂️ I know this process can feel like it's taking a long time, and I'm doing everything I can to move as quickly as possible (while at the same time still wishing I could move quicker!). Your gratitude and support are super motivational to me, and I can't thank you enough! 🤩

FYI, the music font I'm using for music notation contains the "buzzRoll" glyph which you can see here: https://w3c.github.io/smufl/latest/tables/tremolos.html
