Description

Your idea

In this issue, I am asking you to implement simultaneous viewing of pad names and notation previews in MuseScore Studio.
That is, so that the user can see both the name of the sub-instrument and its notation previews at the same time.

Problem to be solved

At the moment, in MuseScore Studio, the user can only view one or the other in the percussion panel. Two in one is not available.
In the legacy percussion panel, the preview is also inconvenient (the name is on one side, the notation preview is on the other side).

What I'm asking you to implement is, in my opinion, an ideal way to convey to the user what and how is located from the available sub-instruments. Imagine that the user wants to see the name of a sub-instrument and at the same time know in what position it is notated on the staff. Instead, at the moment they can only offer him names or a notation preview. In the notation preview, the system is also not the most alternative, since the user, if he wants to see the names, has to hover the cursor over each pad.

Research direction

Begin by locating the percussion panel in MuseScore Studio and reading how its current name and notation-preview views are selected. Confirm the expected combined layout and interaction from the existing panel behavior; done means both the sub-instrument name and notation preview are visible simultaneously.
