What is the easy way to add pitched instrument cues into an unpitched linked percussion part?

If I try my usual method of adding cues to layer 4 via full TGTools, I get over-low notes (without accidentals) which don't transpose easily (even if I change to a non-percussion clef) &c &c, but I suspect there is some easy way to get round this.

I'd use the "Change Instrument" utility to change those measures holding the cues to regular pitched notation.

I use a staff style to change to normal notation.

Thanks both.

A Staff Style is maybe a good idea. I'll experiment further.
