Cant find pedal marks

• Mar 1, 2017 - 17:50

Sorry to come with a maybe stupid question. I searched and found out that MuseScore has pedal marks (used for the pedal notes when playing church organ and tells what foot, and heel or toe). But I can't find them.

I can find symbols in "show/head palett/symbols", but there are really many and I scrolled for some while and did not find the marks. I guess they are there, but wher can I find them a bit easier. Th answer I found, wrote about some other sarch way, but I could not find that way (it said something about create, and the only create I have creates a new score).

My program has Swedish language, so I may have written the search way wrong.

I have been putting these marks by hand afterwards, but it would be nice to get them from the program

I'm not really familiar with organ pedal marks, but here's what I found. Forgive me that all of this is in English so we'll have to hope all the translations for your Swedish work.

Press Z (or View ->Master palette) and the main palette will appear. Select symbols (which is the last one on my list) and in search search for pedal. It returned several pedal marks that refer to the organ.

You can use a custom palette https://musescore.org/en/handbook/custom-palettes with the pedal marks in it.

The method I would use to add it to my palette is drag it to a note and adjust it to look right on a normal note, then ctrl-shift-drag it to my custom palette. This will always place it in the most likely correct spot when you enter it from the custom palette in the future. I'm guessing these are usually placed below the note but the master palette will default to placing it above the note.

It's not the pedal marks I look for, I look for small rings (or U) for heel, and upside down V for toes.

It's like fingernumbers but for the pedal playing on church organ. Maybe it is called pedalling marks.

See pics. Some has rings, some has U for the heel mark.

In my previous post I gave you a link to custom palettes. I would create a custom palette with those in the palette. Since the symbols appear both above and below the notes, you will need to adjust their locations using the Vertical offset in the inspector if you want them below the staff.

Alternatively you could create 2 palettes, one for above the note and one for below (this seems to be the least confusing to me). The first time you use the symbol, drag it from the master palette, adjust it's location if needed, then ctrl-shift-drag it to the proper palette.
