There is no way
You'll be doomed forever
I've tried everything everyone else has suggested but all of them sound like garbage
find a soundfont to download that has a decent suspended cymbal file and install it for musescore. personally, i'm rather fond of virtual playing orchestras but that's just my opinion....
Try this soundfont. https://www.polyphone-soundfonts.com/documents/22-unpitched-percussion/…

i'm trying to get the roll and hit of the suspended cymbal. but i can't find A N Y !!!!
This SoundFont has been a lifesaver. I had always needed a suspended cymbal/cymbal roll sound, and it took me forever to find this one. It's not very customizable (as in it can only be a certain length), but it at least gets a good cymbal roll sound.

I installed this and it works perfectly. Good cymbal roll. It is now part of my default soundfont set. Thanks so much for finding it.

Here is what I do for timp, tam tam, and cymbal rolls. My favorite is a long (two measure, or so) roll that starts soft and gets louder into a big climax part. I have used this in Sibelius, MU3, and MU4.
I set up two tied whole notes. I put an mp on the first note. Then an f or ff on the note in the third measure (the climax note). Put a creas hairpin between the two dynamics. Now, don't use the buzz roll (Yuck!). Use the 32nd note through the stem tremolo on both whole notes. A little extra reverb may or may not help. In MU4 you can set up a suspended cymbal staff. Worth a shot.

how do you exactly use it in your score, though?
