Muted Snare Drum Notation
I have a passage in a piece I'm working on that requires a muted snare drum. I'm not sure how this is traditionally shown in drum notation, can anyone tell me? Accurate playback isn't important, I just want it to look like it would in a published piece.

I searched your title and found this. I think it helps.

Yeah, looks like I just put a "+" above the muted notes. Thanks!
Okay, now I can't get Musescore to put the + where I want it. Here's the passage I need it for:
The bottom notes are the muted snare in voice 2. I want the +'s to go under the stems instead of on top. I tried editing the general style to get it to do so, but it didn't work. Is there a way to do this?

I can't help you with that, but I know someone will very shortly. It's an important facility. It's a good get.

I think you'll have to drag it. Looks like 2.0 will default to markings going outside in this situation, so that will be good

Ugh, all right. At least that pattern gets repeated a lot, so I can just copy and paste.

Using lyric text for the '+' .
Set parameters:
Musescore menu item Style / edit general style / Page / Lyrics upper margin will change the '+' distance to staff.
Musescore menu item Style / edit text style / Lyrics will change the font and size of the '+'.
