Drum Palette Missing In MuseScore 3
Hi there,
I've set the part properties to Drumset, selected my quaver and hit N but the drum palette that is supposed to appear at the bottom does not appear. What am I doing wrong? ANy time I click to enter a note I get some random percussion sound.
HELP!

You need a drumset instrument, not just change the sound of any other instrument to be that of a drumset via Mixer.

set the part properties to Drumset??? In Mixer?
That won't work (and I'm not sure about the purpose of that setting), it needs to be a drumset instrument in order for drumset notation to work

It must have been something like that. Using the above attachment sort of got me jump started. I now see where i start a new score i can add instruments. I wasn't doing this before, I was literally in the opening score that loads on first launch.
Its all working now.
Thanks!

That one is a piano, so indeed that won't work with drum input
There's another reason why it won't show up. I just discovered this now. When inserting the DRUMSET instrument in the instruments pane, make sure under staff type, it's set to "Perc. 5 lines". Mine was set to "Custom Standard" for some reason.
For other instruments, it's usually set to "Standard".
I hope this helps.

Perc. 5 Lines is missing for me, which is weird because before i saved the score it was working perfectly fine, but after, things got weird. i couldn't even tick the drumset box anymore in mixer

woah i fixed it by going to staff properties, changing the instrument from drumset to drumset (yes, its the exact same), and unticking the drumset check box in the mixer.
i forgot to give context, so it's this: I have it set up where im using a custom soundfont for the drums, but still able to notate using the drum pallette, but to use the soundfont i have to choose it from the mixer, which doesn't allow me to choose an instrument if the drumset box is ticked, so i had to untick it, which works, somehow. Programming is such a cursed science
