Accents for kick

Hi Derek! I’d like to add accent articulations to the kick and 2nd kick.

Closing this as there's already an enhancement for adding accents to the kick drum.

Hi Derek,
Sorry to respond so incredibly late….
Great job on the road map I’m really looking forward to the 5’s and 7’s coming.
As to answering your question, essentially both are about volume, ghost notes are softly played notes.
What I envision in volume control is lets say a 5 point scale where the difference between ghost-normal-accent is 1 point respectively. And volume control would be baseline/ 1 point up or down.
Very basic mixer if you will.
ButI think it would create more of a balance when you playback the measure.
Keep up the great work ,
I really got spend more time practicing 🙏🏻

I think in the screenshot like it is now for the snare, notation wise I’d second Hinrich Nagel…
But dynamics wise, what’s the point of accenting bass/snare/hihat at the same time? I can’t figure it out….
Kind regards,
Bram Kokke

Hello voters for this enhancement! 👋🏻
Please share some of your feedback with me to help me understand how you expect this to work.
If you have a hi-hat note being played with one hand, a snare drum note being played with another hand, and the kick being played all at the same time, and all are accented, how should this be notated?
Please see screenshot below.
Thanks for your feedback!

Derek LeeFrom my point of view, there should be an accent-sign above the staves (for hands) and a second one under the staves (for feet). Then the player have to choose if only the HiHat, only the snare or both should be accented. If 'choosing' is unwanted by the composer the only way to solve this, is positioning the accent sign inside the staff nearby the notehead (not my favorite) or to implement a multiple-voice notation (special drums like kick or other instruments in an additional staff).
Best regards
Hinrich

Hello APM Kokke! Welcome to the community and thanks for sharing your feedback! 🎉
Beat Note is a constant work in progress and I'm working to get all of the features in while still maintaining the simplicity and intuitiveness of the app. 👍🏻
There's already a feature request for accents on the kick drum and I can add your vote to that one here: https://beat-note.canny.io/feature-requests/p/accents-for-kick
For ghost notes on the kick, I've only had a couple of requests from other users and it looks like it didn't make it onto the roadmap yet.
You mentioned both ghosting the kick and adjusting the volume. Are you only looking for the ability to add ghost notes to the kick drum? Or are there other ideas you had regarding volume adjustments? And if so, could you please elaborate and provide more details about what you're thinking about?
Thank you!
