I dislike the new drum notation :(
Okay, so, I'm trying to write a piece of music that uses the drums quite a lot but the problem is that the new notation is halting everything. The box that pops up blocks my vision and takes up half of the screen when I dock it, I can't add rests to the second voice for some reason because it reverts back to the first voice every. single. time. and ultimately I have to add bass drum in first and then add my rests, and It's hard to navigate when there's either word boxes or example notation boxes. Why can't it be both words and example notation boxes? It doesn't feel good to try to find a certain intstrument when you have to hover over each box to figure out what it is. To be fair, I am not a drummer, nor do I write for drums well, or I'm just not adjusted to the change yet but this first impression leaves a bitter taste in a mouth that's usually filled with Musescore's savory flavors. (That was kind of poetic). Is this just a skill issue? 😭

I agree. Big L.
But, thankfully, you can just go to: Edit -- Preferences -- Percussion. There are several options in there to customize the new percussion panel, including the option to turn it off completely.

Thank God, and thank you too! I honestly thought I’d have to deal with that stuff for a while 😭
