If so, it doesn't work. When you get to the O, that's the "Open file" command.

Hmm. Okay. What about the "Note Anchored Line"?
It is a line anchored to two specific notes as opposed to the "segment" (which is how regular lines are attached). So, the endpoint moves if the note it is attached to is transposed for instance. I suspect it was added at some point as an initial attempt at making note-specific glissandi, It basically works but appears 5sp above the notes it is attached to because it basically inherits the code used to place plain text lines.
Now that we have true note-attached glissandi, as far as I know there is no actual use case for these lines.

Shall I remove it from the menu, then, with #116761: Reorganize menus for logic and clarity?

I can see a use case for following the melody between voices in TTBB scores, e.g. starting endpoint on T1 note and endpoint on B1 or B2 note. I've done this in some TTBB scores, and I have some books that use this convention. I wouldn't want glissandi playback between voices.

Good point. We should probably fix that 5sp offset though.

It already seems to be fixed in MuseScore 3.
