Percussion Clef combined with a conventional clef on the same double staff
I am editing a piece for percussion quartet, and I ran into the issue of having marimba playing the bottom staff while the same person plays a drum. Is it possible to keep the bass clef while also having the percussion clef for the top staff? (I am not interested on playback or changing instrument, just to make sure that the drum has a percussion clef instead of a treble clef).

yes, create the bass drum and the marimba as two separate instruments. Then create a custom part containing both instruments.
Since you don't need playback, you recreate this on a Piano grand staff. Change the treble clef to percussion clef. Add the drum notes. Change the noteheads to x. There are a couple of ways to do that after they are all entered.

Hi! Do you remember how you managed to change to treble clef to a percussion clef? I am trying to do exactly this and am unable to change the clef.
