Accidentals probably should not be applied to non-pitched percussion

[zacjansheski]

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Bug description

It would be best to disable using accidentals on non-pitched percussion.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a score with Drum Kit
2. In note input mode, use minus to engage the flat accidental
3. Write a HiHat note, it is triple-flat (no change in playback)

Also you can select a note and then click the accidentals for some general midi fun.

When I imported some Apple Logic drum parts through MusicXML, there were some accidentals. Attached shows how notes connect to the GM midi standard. I hope MuseScore can expand (instead of limiting) to all of the GM parts, which includes accidentals. Musescore supports most of them.

@TeeDeeY none of that should, in sheet music that humans read/play, be notated with accidentals. To support import, those midi pitches would need to be mapped on a percussion instrument and properly ID'd. (Most of them are mapped on the "Large Drum kit"). I think a GM kit that supports that specifically would be a feature request that should be logged separately.
