Single Line Staves in 2.0
Is there a reason that single line staves have been removed in v2.0? In 1.2 when you chose an instrument like Cymbal, you would get a nice 1 line percussion staff. When you open these scores, or create a new score in 2.0, you get a regular 5 line staff. It is desirable to have these added back. Was there a reason for their removal, or have I overlooked something?

I just checked and it works for me: adding a new instrument cymbal creates a 1 line staff.

I tested with a55ed73908.
New scores are indeed created with one line staff but the notes are not well positionned on the staff. Mainly because the middle line was used previously for one line staff and now it's the top line.
Scores from 1.2 are displayed with a 5 lines staff. See for example http://musescore.com/user/36041/scores/53803

Excellent! Thank you!
MuseScore 2.0 is not released. You are probably using a nightly build and not MuseScore 2.0.
The behavior you are seeing might be a bug. Of course, scores from 1.2 with one line staff should be displayed as one line staff and it should be possible to create score with one line staff in Musescore 2.0 when it will be released.
There are several bug reports related to this issue
#14982: Percussion 1 Line
#14984: 1.x scores feature incorrect staves for percussion
Which nightly are you using? The current one is a55ed73908

I am using eec493e on Linux. I'll do another pull and see if it is fixed. Incidentally, I notice this when opening a score that was created in v1.2. New scores do have a 1 line percussion staff.

Werner fixed the import of 1.2 scores in 3e4c2ca7e7
The quarter notes stems are a little bit too long though.
Creating a new score is working and we got one staff line, but the drumset uses the 4 thline. So I guess instruments.xml needs an complete overhaul for unpitched percussion.

I just built 3e4c2ca and can see that it is fixed in the main score, so that is great. Unfortunately, it is not fixed in the linked parts. In linked parts we still get a 5 line staff. I have also noticed in staff properties that the 'Type' combo box does not list a 1 line percussion staff as one of the options.
