Writing a few verses beneath the score.
There's so much detailed help about Musescore on the web I exhaust myself reading it all... and still don't get the answer I want...
:)
I write 32 bars of simple melody and input the first verse and chorus right there in the score, with the notes.
Now I want to write, text only, four or more further verses below the score and can't find how to do it.
Can someone help, please?

How about adding a text frame? https://musescore.org/en/handbook/frame#text
In reply to How about adding a text by jeetee
thank you for your suggestion.
but i think i've been there and done that. i have been to the text frame link and it just had me put a text box before a measure, right there in the score or amongst the staves, however i should say it.
it says it is done from the add menu but that doesn't list anything that does what i want.
there is a link to be found on that page regarding how to add a block of text to a score which sounds exactly like what i want - but it says it is for musescore 1 and not applicable to musescore 2, which is what i have.
so, yes, that's what i was saying - i've read so much but still not got there.
after reading your post i went back and checked again but with the same result.
what have i missed or misunderstood?
p.s. Perhaps I should state that I simply want a printable document. It doesn't have to be intelligible to MuseScore for editing or midi playback - a simple printable doc is all I want.
I don't expect Musescore to understand a score with multiple titles, key sigs, tempos and whatever. I don't need any such capabilities.
Perhaps there's an easy way to achieve it via Word and cut and paste or whatever. I will look into that. A quick look and I see MuseScore seems to be capable of export to .pdf. I guess maybe I can cut and paste between .pdf docs.

There are two different commands for adding frames. "Insert" places the frame *before* the selection;
"append" adds it at the end. Simply use the latter. No need to resort to Word or PDF!
The way to get this is:
- Append a vertical frame to the score
- Right click the frame - Add - Text
- Write the first stanza
- Adjust the horizontal position of the text block in inspector
- continue adding further text blocks
I hope you can unterstand my simple description.

Thank you both for your responses.
How I could have been so blind as to not see the 'append' option I simply don't know.
Shamefaced I'll go away and get to work.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for that simple description, I understood that perfectly and you've also helped me solve my verse text dilemma.
