Custom symbols + hanging ties
I'm preparing a custom part which uses almost entirely cresc. and dim. from nothing (with a circle attached). It would make the process much easier if I didn't need to manually add an open circle to every hairpin.
-
Is there a way to add custom symbols to Musescore 3 from another graphic program? I don't care about Musescore playback for this purpose.
-
Will future Musescore versions make hanging ties easier to add/manage? This isn't rare in orchestral/percussion writing. I'm aware of previous discussions in this forum:

My attachment shows an example of each of the above score elements.
Thanks!

Pretty sure you can create a custom hairpin with the circle and put it into a pallet. Also pretty sure you won't be able to stretch it across several measures. IE modify it to any particular length.
Place a hairpin in your score, then in the Inspector (see image below):
1. Place a check mark in the 'Begin text' box,
2. Copy the following text:
<sym>dynamicNienteForHairpin</sym>
and paste into the 'Text' box.
3. The niente circle is kind of small, so boost the font size to around 18.
The hairpin can be saved in a plaette for future use.

This is a first rate response, thanks Jm6stringer! I will try out later on.
It makes me think there's a bunch of secret MS knowledge floating around, how do you go about learning tricks like this?

Well, this option (Circled tip) is already available in the Inspector, just select the crescendo/decrescendo and check the option. See:

Yes! I saw that too and it seemed easier.
I think I need to take a careful look through Inspector.

The Handbook is not secret, it's right there in Help menu within MuseScore, or Suport menu on this site :-)
But also, my online course is even more in-depth - see https://school.masteringmusescore.com/p/complete
