Percussion part problems
I want to add Tubular Bells (Chimes), which is pitched percussion of course, and a Bass Drum (which is unpitched) into one part. Problem is, I don't know how to put unpitched and pitched percussion sounds/notation into one part.

Unfortunately, that's not possible with the most recent version of MuseScore. That is being considered for future versions, though.
The way to do it currwntly is to use two separate instruments, include them both in the same part when generating parts, and use the Hide Empty Staves option in Style / General to show only the one in use at any given point in the score.
Technically that would result in an incorrect score - which is why it is not possible out of the box.
It is not usual to expect bells to be played by the same percussionist as the bass drum.
If you do require this, however, just include both staves on the printed part.
