Yes. I don't spend a lot of time on playback details, but it's very disconcerting to play back a piece that's supposed to use tom-toms and hear instead whistles and guiros and the like.
What about turning off percussion playback enitrely?

I suppose that one solution would be to turn off percussion notation before I print. Except that there might be occasions when I *do* want X noteheads, and turning off percussion notation would lose those. Basically, I want all the advantages that a percussion map offers, except that I want whole notes displayed with whole note noteheads.
Use staff styles. Make the staff regular notation by default, and apply the "percussion map" staff style only to those sections that require X noteheads. (I would think you'd want to do this anyway -- I have separate staff styles for every percussion instrument, just so the staff name displays correctly in the score.)
