Symbol representing beat in a bar.
I have searched and perhaps I have just not been able to find this in MusSc., but I find a diagonal slash, (top right to bottom left), without note heads (which can be misleading), useful as a bar filler to indicate rhythms for accompaniment when soloing in a Jazz situation. Changes can then be attached to the proper stwm.
These are basicall stems, slanted, with flags and beams when required.
I would find this to be a very useful feature.
Thank you.
Regards.

Although I don't have a picture :-( When I played jazz years ago I saw these, they look like regular notes around the middle line but with thick slashes instead of the note head. I believe for the hollow notes (half notes) there were two slashes connected by thinner lines to make a sort of parallelogram. Wish I had a picture, but I haven't played any jazz for years. I'm just confirming that this would be useful to more than a single user.

These are only for quarter notes, but you can, of course, write them for any rhythm.

See the notation section of New features in MuseScore 0.9.4 .
Select the notes you want to convert to this style of notation. Double click the slash in the "Note Head" palette. If you want to hide the stems then right click on an empty part of the measure, select "Measure Properties" and mark the "SlashStyle" checkbox.

Thank you.
I tried this.
It was difficult at first to select the measure.
After finally doing this, I removed the stems from 4 bars. To save time, I tried to copy the result. When I pasted the copt, only one quarter note had the stem removed, all others had the stem re-attached. It would be great if this was fixed, as right now it adds a level of repeated work.
Also, the stems seem to be removable only from quarter note. I tried eighths, but the stems would not erase. On consideration, however, this at least provide a proper way to notate rhythm.
This is a great service you folk are providing. Please keep up the good work.
Regards.

I have these working.
However, when I play the score, the initial note plays. Will someone please tell me how to turn soundsoff using slash chords?
Thank you.

I have found those slash marks in the SYMBOLS page. However, maybe someone can tell me how I can insert them into a measure and then have the whole measure rest disappear. I tried to make a measure of 4 slashes (in place of 4 quarter notes (crochets), but when I printed out, the whole note rest was still there, along with the slashes.
The measure rest disappears when you input notes, but stays when I put in slashes. What am I missing? How do I get MuseScore to treat the slashes as notes, and make the measure rest disappear?

Hi there,
Thanks. I need to use slashes for drum notation. Unfortunately when I select the slash notehead in palette nothing happens. I have seen that I can input the slashes one by one having made the bar rest invisible. Is there a better way to get around this, or could this be something for future versions of MuseScore .
Thanks to all involved in producing MuseScore and answering these things. You are awesome.
have attached an example of drum notation with slashes.
