Sorry, still got my attention.  You'll have to try harder. ;-)

  All you can do at the moment is select one or more
notes and
 then select Adjust -> Note Style -> and choose a note shape.
 The shapes are not built-in -- they're defined in XML files in
 the styles directory, documented in the Rosegarden Handbook
 under Customising Rosegarden.  You can define styles using any
 available font element or pixmap. 
OK.  That hasn't scared me off yet.  After all, I did mess around
and created an instrument map for the Alesis QS8.

  Setting a default shape for each pitch in a drum map
would
 be an excellent addition to our ongoing drum map work at the
 moment, though.  I should give that some thought. 
That sounds like something a mere user, i.e. non-programmer (OK,
so I can write perl), can do.  I've got 3 gigs next week and
a studio session coming up, so I'm sticking a reminder on my
calendar for a couple weeks out to see if/how I might help out on
this.  I'll dig through my Modern Drummer mag's and some books I've 
got to see if I can find the official (PAS) standardized drum
notation.

Thanks again...
