Perc. sounds
Hello!
I tried to set up a score for cymbal, snare and bassdrum.
But was not abel to get the sounds, just cowbell.
Are they there? How to get it right?

It's hard to tell from just a picture; we'd need to see the actual score to understand. If these are marching percussion instruments, you need to install the appropriate soundfont. If these are regular percussion instruments, be sure to enter the music as described in the Handbook under "Drum notation".

Thanks!
I have the standard sounds installed.
Do I need custom ones?
Cymbal, snare, bassdrum

I hear the sound are there for 5-lines drum-staff,
with kit-pices at bottom.
So, how do I get there for my 1-line staffs?

Again, we can't really help just from a picture. We'd need to see the score itself to understand what has gone wrong. if you add these staves normally and enter the notes as described in the Handbook, they should work normally. Without the score itself, we can't tell what went wrong.
Ok, starting from blank I get the sounds and articulations I want. Nice.
However, when I try to copy my notes from my older score,
it copies the sound as well.
How to avoid that?

btw: First score attached to first post for reference
Now I'm getting there.
The pasted notes was wrong pitch.
Just selected them and hit arrow up, then they where right.
Thank you!

If you have any idea how they got to be the wrong pitch, that would be good to share, so either others can avoid the same mistake, or we can see if there is a bug somewhere that caused this. I know if you copy and paste from one percussion instrument to another with a different drum set definition, it will normally copy in such a way that you still get the original sound. That's not a bug exactly, but it is worth considering whether we could try to re-map the sounds somehow. Probably not possible in general though.

I would also be interested in knowing how the staff styles got changed from Percussion to Standard, thus preventing the drum palette from displaying at the bottom.
Was this the result of the copy and paste?
Presumably if you had set up the instruments from the Instruments dialogue then this must be the case.
Whatever this requires further investigation as it could be quite a serious bug.

The score 2 (set up from instrument dialog) was displaying drum palette right all the time as far as I remember.
It was setting score 1 (imported from musicXML) staff to 1 line drum staff with right sound and palette, that was a problem for me

Well, I'm not sure,
but all notes have a key/pitch, right? LIke A4.
So, for 2 scores withn a 1-line staff
could it be that score 1 had notes e.g A3 with it's perc-sound,
and score 2 had A4?
Then copying fro 1 to 2 would not sound right.
Just guessing here.
Well, yes, for this kind of copy/paste, having it to not paste sound would be preferred.
