Notes:

It is also reproducible in a 2.0 score.
Alternatively: The bug can be reproduced by changing the drumset whilst the part is in view - the full score will not update.

Using MuseScore 2.0 Nightly Build 620c997 - Mac 10.7.5.

I believe this is by design. Styles and page layout settings too are kept separate between score and parts. Parts inherit the style from the score from the score at the moment they are created, but changes to one don't affect the other, and that's for good reason - some settings may need to be different. Drums sets probably don't *need* to be maintained separately, but anyhow, it seems they are treated similarly, and it's not necessarily a bad thing.

Ultimately, it would be good to provide control over this. Perhaps an "Apply to all parts" for drum set like we already have for style would make sense.
