In the Symphonic Orchestra Template, Bass Drum and Cymbals each have their own seperate stave, taking up quite a bit of space, eventhough they are 1-line percussion staves. It would be much nicer and align more with common engraving in orchestral scores to put those 2 instruments on the same 5-line percussion stave.
In addition to this, it would be a great feature to have an interface, not unlike the new score interface, where one can easily add or remove unpitched percussion instruments to a percussion stave. Right now, a percussion stave comes standard with a full drumset (which is strange, considering the existence of a seperate drumset instrument). An extra interface where one can select the percussion instruments and define both the MIDI note (for correct VST playback), place on the stave and type of notehead would make the process of putting several percussion instruments on a single stave (as often happens in orchestral scores, either 2 percussionists on a stave or 1 percussionist having to play several instruments) a much nicer and smoother experience.
