Brackets for keyboard assignment
Hi,
Just come across a seeming omission in MuseScore's armoury of expression marks.
As an organist I both write and transcribe scores for that insturment. Organs are multi keyboard instruments and the conventional way of denoting a change of keyboard is by means of a bracket with either a Roman numeral or the name of the keyboard attached to the centre of the left hand side.
Sadly this is currently missing in MuseScore, and as I am in the throes of producing a performing copy of Franck's Chorale in A minor for performance later in June would be very grateful for the inclusion of this in a later release.
I have just been tempted away from Finale 2003 by this excellent scorewriter. It would be nice not to have to revert back for this project :)
Regards
Michael

A visible example would be useful to non-organists...
Anyway, have you tried using a "staff text"?
1) Select a note near the place where you want the text to appear
2) Menu "Create | Text | Staff text" (or its short cut [Ctrl][T])
3) Type the text you want to appear (if you need some special character, try pressing F2 to have a palette of special characters)
4) Click outside the text to exit text editing
5) Drag the text to the correct position.

Thanks for that - you have provided part of the answer :)
Worst case scenario is you'd mock up a graphic representation of the symbol and insert that.

Hmmm - I haven't got as far as inserting graphics into MuseScore yet.
I will need to check up on how it is done.
I checked the original of "Chorale in A minor" but can't find what you are refering to.
If it's the square bracket like on 2nd page, 3rd line then you can take a look in the "Arpeggio and glissando" palette.

Amazing - you have provided the other half of the answer :)
I would never have thought of looking in the Arpeggio and glissando pallette.
Maybe this sign should be duplicated in one of the other tool palettes - possibly Lines?
Incidentally I'm incredibly impressed with the speed with which you guys have responded :)
Apologies for being several hours behind in replying :)
