Not sure what type of notation you are looking for exactly, but you can add fingering from the Fingering palette or change noteheads using the Noteheads palette or the Inspector. Neither will affect playback, but that's not the primary purpose of MuseScore. If you can find a soudfont somewhere that provides the special sounds you want, you can instal that and put those notes on another invisible staff.

@amitg43, for the visualization, something like that?
Ctrl+T, I typed the text and then moved it
Thanks for such speedy response.
On the presumption that a picture is worth a thousand words, I am attaching a .pdf document which is an excerpt from two pages of "Complete Steel Guitar Method" by Roger Filiberto (Google Books), explaining Finger and Palm Harmonics.
If I could persuade you to take the trouble of taking a look at YouTube video at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbtGJYtTb2c
you would get the idea of how it is played and how it sounds.

Forgot something? ;-)
use the "File attachments" option at the bottom of the page, just above the Save and Preview buttons when you're typing your post.

See noteheads in the manual. Also lines .
Thanks for guiding me to the location in the document. It is to be seen now if putting the appropriate notehead produces the desired sound (as can be heard in the YouTube video referred by me earlier).

Not automatically. Keep in mind, the primary purpose of MuseScore is notation, not playback. As we said, if you have a soundfont that includes the sounds you like, you can make what you want happen by adding invisible notes, or notes in an invisible staff.
Set your palette to "advanced," click on "Articulations and Ornaments" and drag the degree sign-looking symbol (Ouvert) to the note.
