Maybe adding a Chinese Gong to the percussion format on the next update of Musescore.

What are looing for exactly? You can already add a number of gongs and Chinese cymbals, including the tam tam (the instrument msot often thought of as a gong). These instruments don't all show under "Common instruments" but do if you type into the search box or switch to "All instruments". General MIDI doesn't define a separate sound for "Chinese gong", so no common soundfont is likely to provide a specific sound for it, but if you have a non-GM soundfont you have that provides a specific sound, you are already welcome to use it.

I always use "All Instruments" and this issue of a orchestra gong has been pointed out before. I tried a GM soundfont and it could not put into the Musescore program. When the next Musescore update comes out, a orchestra gong added to the unpitched percussion section might be really useful.

If you are having problems figuring how how to install a soundfont, see the relevant section of the Handbook and ask questions here is that doesn't help. If you have found a soundfont with a gong sound you like, MuseScore should be able to use it.

I have solved the problem by using the crash cymbal and changing the part to gong as a substitution. It should work out just fine. Maybe the next update of Musescore should list gong as an unpitched instrument.

As I mentioned, there are already a number of gongs and cymbals listed. Not under Common, but All instrumenta. The more formal name for the instrument I am guessing you mean is "Tam-tam", and that is on the list as well.

I put it on all instruments ALL the time because I need those instruments. Like I said before, I will substitute the crash cymbal and just change the name. I am not looking for sound, but for the printed content so I can publish the score and parts.
That is a good idea
