Description
I believe it would be beneficial (especially for unpitched percussion) to have some sort of toggle when retuning notes for whether they should borrow samples from the nearest note. For example, in this score (Goron City (Day).mscz.zip), I have retuned the congas to match the original recording better and sound better overall
But in MS4, everything about that part is broken, since the congas are using samples for other instruments rather than just retuning the congas further
As far as I know right now, there is no workaround for this, meaning this goal is currently impossible to achieve.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the tuning-adjustment and nearest-sample selection paths, using the linked score and videos to reproduce the percussion behavior; done should include a user-facing toggle that controls whether retuned notes borrow surrounding samples and coverage for both settings.
