Adding a Quadruple Marching Cymbal Instrument (an Upgrade for the Marching Cymbal instrument to feature 4 different sized pairs of Cymbals) #22411

Your idea

my idea

I had this idea of adding the Quadruple Marching Cymbal Instrument to musescore because I have come across some Marching Band Music & in some of the arrangements (e.g. the Cymbal part of Paul Lavender's arrangement of the Fanfare from E.T.) the Cymbal Part has 4 different sized Cymbal Pairs (Smallest Pair is above the Staff, then the slightly bigger pair is on the top space, the next bigger pair on the bottom space, & the largest pair is below the staff) because the arranger wanted a very particular sound, & it would be amazing if we could re-create that w/o having to edit the Drumset for the Marching Cymbals because having 4 Different Sizes of Marching Cymbals allows for more Tonal Color enhancement. Adding it as an upgrade to the Existing Marching Cymbal instrument would be amazing because it would be easier to see.

Problem to be solved

Being able to re-create some of the Marching Cymbal parts that call for 4 different sizes of Marching Cymbals.
