Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a score with a treble clef and a tabulature/drumset staff.
2. Enter some input mode (for example, Real-time automatic), ensure it works for the treble clef (play something on virtual piano board or MIDI keyboard for Real-time mode).
3. Click on the tabulature/drumset staff.
4. Switch to the default (Step-time) input mode.
Expected results: input should switch to Step-time mode, Real-time mode is not working.
Actual results: the previous input mode (Real-time in this example) is still working.
Issue #276670: Crash on mouse press on tabulature in Repitch input mode might be also related to this so I suppose fixing this issue can potentially fix that one too.

Comments
Running into this right now myself. Somehow it seems changes of input mode just don't register correctly while you are on a drum staff. Workaround I guess is to be on a standard staff when switching modes, but that's not acceptable. Working on this with some other rhythm mode fixes.

_fix #276671: note input submode not switched for tab or drum staves
Resolves: https://musescore.org/en/node/276671
When switching note input modes (steptime, repitch, rhythm, etc),
the handlers for drum and tab staves was missing the code
to actually set the mode.
So the icon would show the change but no change was registered.
This made rhythm mode difficult to use for drum staves;
you needed to discover the problem and workaround.
Tablature doesn't actually implement all these modes,
but it is still important to set the mode correctly internally
so it reflects the icon correctly when switching staves.
Added the code to do this._
