Small accidentals
Where do I find miniature accidentals? I know I've used them before but I can't find them.

Via Ctrl+T ->F2? Or click the accidental and use Inspector (F8).
I saw that when you click on the accidental next to a note there is an option to check "small" in the inspector. I'm a harpist and have to add lever change symbols in between notes and I couldn't find an option to make accidentals from symbols small.

Can you attach here a *.mscz file (an example)?

Are you using the pedal diagram plugin (see Download menu / Plugins menu at top of this page)? It's really great for this sort of thing.
For individual accidentals, I'm not picturing how you intend to use them, but as mentioned, you can enter them into text as special characters, and there are even shortcuts Ctrl+Shift+b for flat, Ctrl+Shift+# for sharp, Ctrl+Shift+H for natural. As text, you can size them as desired.

Thank you- I will try that. These are lever changes for a lever harp. I use the diamond-shape notehead with an accidental next to it. Sometimes we lower two levers at once, so there's not enough room to write to accidentals at the regular font. I put them in where the note is, so it gets crowded. Example below:

I'd probably do that by adding grace notes, changing the duration to whole, and using the Inspector to change the notehead and make them small & silent. This adds any necessarily space automatically.

Thanks for the suggestion!
