OK, I followed your instructions exactly, and the same thing happened. Then I followed your instructions on a new document with a single staff line and it worked perfectly. I then created a whole new score, pasted the other parts from the old score to the new score (except for the snare drum line) and went to work on the snare drum line, doing it exactly the same way. The notes then jumped ten ledger lines below the staff and don't sound anything like a snare drum.
