<h4 class="subsection">3.5.6 Percussion in MIDI</h4>
<p>Percussion instruments are generally notated in a <code>DrumStaff</code>
context and when notated in this way they are outputted correctly
to MIDI channel 10, but some pitched percussion instruments,
like the xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, timpani, etc., are
treated like “normal” instruments and music for these instruments
should be entered in a normal <code>Staff</code> context, not a
<code>DrumStaff</code> context, to obtain the correct MIDI output.
<p>Some non-pitched percussion sounds included in the general MIDI
standard, like melodic tom, taiko drum, synth drum, etc., cannot
be reached via MIDI channel 10, so the notation for such
instruments should also be entered in a normal <code>Staff</code>
context, using suitable normal pitches.
<p>Many percussion instruments are not included in the general MIDI
standard, e.g. castanets. The easiest, although unsatisfactory,
method of producing some MIDI output when writing for such
instruments is to substitute the nearest sound from the standard
set.
<!-- TODO Expand with examples, and any other issues -->
<p class="noindent">
<h5 class="subsubheading">Known issues and warnings</h5>
<p>Because the general MIDI standard does not contain rim shots, the
sidestick is used for this purpose instead.
