When you edit the "Bagpipe"-Score from the start, just edit as key "C-Major) " - and you 'll see the transposition for this bagpipe automatically inserted: -2 Halftones (= big second down) Two sharps appear behind the clef (thus MuseScore show's that you' should use "F# and C#" as default.) But: If you want MuseScore to sound like a bagpipe, you'll have to write some notes for your "drone-pipes", too (or it will be a "solo for chant only".)
Why? There is no notation of the "bourdon-drones" at all.

Normally, there is only one staff (with notes for the chant plus embellishments) showing a treble (G) - clef. How does the "typical bagpipe-score" looks like? (Remark: Other Pipes like "Borderpipe" or "Schäferpfeife" will use other mensuration, scales and embellishments.) I suppose: Highland Pipe or French Biniou But in my testscore on that "new sound features", there were some difficulties, that needed to be worked around. I'm no specialist for "Scottish Highland Pipe", I even do not possess any bag pipe at all. I did some test editing Bagpipe sound with MS 2.02 and default Soundfont FluidR3Mono_GM.sf3. OR do I just change the transposing interval by using the stave properties each time The written music for bagpipe sounds as transposed up 1 semitone (D major to Eb major OR A major to Bb major. The music is normally written in key of D major but sometimes thought of as A major because of the flattened 7th note "G" which is actually a flattened G natural. Scottish Great Highland Bagpipe (Older makes of these were pitched written A sounds at Bb 467 but nowadays competition players play A and sounds approx 475 - 480) There is also a modern concert version of GHB which is pitched at written A sounds Bb 467. Sounds 5 semitones higher than written music. Playing the key note A as read on the music sheet results in the sound of D at 587. Playing the key note A on the music sheet results in the sound A at 440. Scottish Smallpipes OR Highland pipes pitched in A. I would be grateful to have your views on this and how do I go about adding other "Bagpipes" to the instrument list that have different transposing.
