Text questions
I need to add quite a bit of text for a lesson sheet and am having difficulty with the following:
1) Is it possible to force a "text wrap" at the end of the line? Text seems to continue on the same line.
2) Is it possible to add tables like the following like in the attached file?

Unfortunately this is not presently possible in MuseScore.
Text-wrap is very high on my request list for MuseScore:

If you can export your table to an image (PNG, JPG, SVG) you can place it in your score.
Let us know if you need help accomplishing that.

While you can do a lot with vertical and horizontal frames and adding text elements within them and positioning them, in the end, MuseScore is not a full desktop publishing program and even if word wrap comes someday, will probably never be suited for producing entire textbooks. For educational materials that rely heavily on text formatting, often the easier way to go is to do it all in your favorite word processor and add the music examples from MuseScore as graphics (eg, using the Image Capture tool).

I understand your perspective but I think MuseScore is actually quite capable for making lessons (if not textbooks). In the short time I've started to use it I'm appreciating it not only as a great score creation tool, but an excellent practice tool where I can play along to the score and manipulate the tempo.

Indeed, one can do surprisingly much, and I’ve taken to using it to create my own educational materials and finding ways of working within its limitations. See for example:

One conscious choice I made that Think worked to my advantage: instead of fighting the lack of word wrap, challenge myself to write in short sentences that work as bullet points.
