Score with only grand piano adding percussion to same measure
Hi, I'm kinda a novice. I've been taking my books and creating them in MuseScore so that I can use my iPad when visiting family for the holidays. I have one score that has percussion in a couple of measures (see attachment) in the score.
The only instrument that I have is the grand piano. When I add an instrument I found under percussion it adds additional staff to the score. I've even tried playing around with the choosing of the staff line when adding the instrument.
Is there a way to be able to add an instrument to a certain measure? I've looked in the pallets but I can't find percussion-like notes like when I actually add a percussion instrument.
Is there a way to add an instrument to the same grand staff treble clef lines?
The only way I've been able to find a solution is to create an SVG in Adobe Illustrator of the note(s) and add them that way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If you want the playback to happen as well, then you'll need a 2nd instrument for it (but you can hide it for the purpose of a clean score).
Notating this measure is done by entering those (knocking) notes in the 2nd voice (see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices), then selecting just those notes (see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/selection-modes select all similar elements) and using the inspector to set the notehead type to crosses.

Awesome, that worked perfectly! I didn't see the head group in the inspector. I missed that in the manual too. Thank you for your time!

OT but sometimes required, to be experimented (I'm using 3.2.3):

Oh, that's awesome! Thank you, I spent the last 15 minutes reproducing what you did. I learned something new. I didn't see the "Change Instrument" button under "Staff/Part Properties"-->"Part Properties"
Thank you for taking the time to do that! That really helped and taught me something new! :)
