Excellent post. I wanted to talk about this, but then got tripped up by the proto mapping bug.

For the Notation view to translate different articulations of the same drum, that are written on the same staff line, to the correct piano roll pitch, the note head shape needs to be independent or additional to the simple MIDI note # map.

Multiple piano roll pitches may need to converge on a single percussion clef stave.
