I guess you'd need to explain what you mean by that. Do you mean a Chord symbols with a different root/bass note? If so append a / and the root/bass note.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/chord-symbols
Well, that's not chord symbols, but Roman Numeral Analysis.
Such a line might be possible, manually, by using a staff line, tweaking the hooks and position
And yes, adding a line works too, begin with a positive length, end hook negative. Here, you'd want to add the line, then press "X" to flip it below the staff, "=" to disable autoplace, then Ctrl+Shift+drag it to the palette. Except apparently autoplace status doesn't get remembered for lines like it does for text, so you'll actually need to disable it each time you add it, Just one click, so no big deal.
And actually, the line approach works better in terms of controlling the length if you wish to extend it cover several notes. So, I'll probably start using it
I hadn't ever actually tried any of this before, as I don't personally use these symbols in my own analysis, but I'm reconsidering that now that I see how easy and fun it is :-). Just redid the opening of a counterpoint handout I had prepared the other day:
EDIT: I'm leaving this in place in case it suits someone's needs better, but FWIW I think the line approach is probably better than the text approach.
See my response earlier. I actually tried it just after posting, and it's pretty simple using the "Box Drawing" characters in most fonts. So try pasting the following into a text you are editing:
┌──┘
Once you add one of these, you can Ctrl+Shift+drag it to a palette for easy reuse. You might wish to disable automatic placement for it first, this will make it a bit easier to position it between two other Roman numeral analysis figures. You should probably set the font explicitly to Edwin or something else rather than Campania if you add this as an RNA element, because Campania doesn't actually have those characters. It may still display OK but it's going to be kind of random what font gets substituted so it might change appearance next time you open the score, or if you share it with someone else.
I can get by without the “staircase” symbol for now, but I would like to know how to create two lines of Roman Numerals like in the above example, one line for the current key (as in d:i above) and another line for the new key (as in F:V65 above) . May I ask how to generate this? Thanks
If you mean the symbol shown in Roman numeral analysis to indication a modulation, the font we designed for RNA in MuseScore does not support that symbol, nor does the SMuFL standard for music fonts. So you'd need to create it in a graphics program then paste it in as an image. Or build it using Unicode line segments, which might be feasible but would require a little time to figure out. Tr the Special Characters dialog, the Unicode section, and see if you can find the right combination of vertical and horizontal segments to get what you want. Might be best to add that as a separate text element.

I mean the staircase symbol that we add to write two chords together, how do I add that staircase thing?

Just add two separate elements. Add one (the one you want closer to the staff), hit escape, then add another the same way.
