How to create slanted or tilted lines for guitar string indication?
First off, I just "discovered MuseScore - thanks, it's awesome!
I was looking for a tool to write out guitar scales for practice. I am transitioning to Blues/rock from classical.
Of course, I have Segovia's Major and Minor Diatonic Scales - published 1953 by Columbia.
I want to create a similar "scale score" for blues. Among other issues doing this, I was unable to figure out how to create a line that slants upwards or downwards, following the direction of the notes, for the line that shows what string a series of notes are played on.
While MuseScore has a fingering notation tool in the palette, it does not aggregate sequential notes on the same string with a string indication with a line, it simply applies a string number in a circle to each note.
Not a huge issue, but would be nice to have good-looking guitar scores.
So, the question: how to create slanted lines?
Thanks!

The lines palette has a plain line that can be slanted.

Thanks!
It takes a bit of doing to make it work, but I can make it look as I want it.
Too bad it's not automatic, or copy-able.

Although it is not intended for this purpose, you could experiment with the plain-line glissando in the glissando palette.

...but nope, won't do it. It's cool how it rubber-bands, but I just can't make it look like what I want.
