Regression
I was unable to check
Operating system
Windows 11
Additional context
The percussion panel will appear if I switch either from MS Basic to MuseSounds or from MuseSounds to MS Basic.
This behaviour was intentionally introduced with #26807 as a means of resolving #23676, but the logic could probably be smarter.
