More Range For G Bugles
I am in a Drum & Bugle Corps that uses G Bugles and when I try to make music for it the instruments have a very very small range and it makes it so that I can't hear all the parts. Can this be fixed?

Can you explain what you mean in greater detail? Ideally, attach a score you are having trouble with and give us steps to reproduce the problem you are perceiving.
MuseScore does't even offer a G Buggle, Just Buggle, Soprano Buggle, Alto Bugle Bartiton Bugle Euphonium Bugle Mellophine Bugle and Contrabass Bugle.
Amateur range for Buggle and Soprano Bugle looks rather small indeed, just one octave, G4-G5, professional range 2 octaves, C4-C6, the range width for the otheer is the same, just lower in total. Except for Mellophone Buggle, which has a much larger range.
No idea whether any of this is correct.

But that only affects whether you see warnings on screen about writing notes too low or high for amateurs to play - it in no way affects the sound. So I get the sense the OP might be talking about something else entirely.

I hate to inform you bud, but Soprano Bugle, All the way down to Contrabass Bugle, are keyed in G. Musescore offers G Bugles, but they lack the correct soundfont, for all of them, including range. As well, they need to include both Bass and treble clef options.
I made a template that works, I just transposed standard instuments to be in G. G now lands on C, which is correct. Feel free to use this template. https://musescore.com/tubadude2021/scores/5936891
