I could use some help with Orchestral percussion notation, i.e. going from non-pitched percussion to marimba or xylophone. How do I avoid writing in neutral key signature when for pitched entries key signature would be helpful?

Michael:

Use a Staff Style and apply it only to the measures where you want the key signature to show.

I apply the staff style "normal notation", which I've edited so "key signature" is checked (with the black check mark, not the gray one) under "items to display", and Notation style is set to "standard". If you need "normal notation" elsewhere in your score, you can just create a new staff style.
