Bug description
Editing the noteheads in the edit of the drumset does not affect their final shape in the score.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a glockenspiel staff (or any other instrument with a definite pitch).
- Add a edit staff type anywhere by changing the instrument in parallel.
- Open the edit drumdset, change the shape of the notehead to any other.
- The shape of the notehead of the score will not change.
