Drum staff can not accept note input, but copy+paste works
My older installation mscore 0.9.5 (own build, TWM, SL5x)
did not accept input (mouse click) on drum-notation systems.
I had hoped this erroneous behaviour would disappear in v.1.0
I still can not enter notes - but I can make another system and assign drum sounds to that,
or copy+paste from another instrument into drum-system.
Way to reproduce:
New
add Drums
add Piano
C major
4/4
Start editing
Press N
Click on drum-staff - nothing happens.
File at http://d-axel.dk/pub/music/Hygge/Drummers_Dream.mscz
But the file does not show anything because I could not enter drum-notes :-)
I stopped using MINT's default windows-manager, it would not open a file-select menu
I changed window manager to IceWM - and then the select dialogue appears. MAYBE
this drum system behaviour stems from some other GUI error.
If you can enter notes in a Debian config then ignore this bug-report.
I am going to use Debian in a couple of weeks.
Thank you for a great program! Donald/Denmark.

Drum staves work differently than others. You need to select the drum from the drum palette before clicking, or else use the keybaord shortcuts you can assign by right clicking the staff and going into the drumset editor. See http://musescore.org/en/handbook/drum-notation
