Alt. brevis square notehead not working
I can't apply the alt. brevis square notehead neither from the palette nor from the note's properties tab; when I click on it, it is marked as selected but the shape of the note doesn't change. All the other noteheads work correctly.

Is the note an actual brevis (aka breve, aka double whole notes)? Should work then. But you can't change a quarter note (for example) this way.

That is really bad. I know a lot of old unmetered vocal music that uses a quadratic brevis or a whole note with lines on either sides as the "note with length as needed by text or accompaniment". And I cannot find a way to write it in MuseScore...

In a measure containing at least 8 (quarter note) beats, enter note input mode (N). For the note duration, press "8". Then press the note letter you want: A-G. Does that work? It does for me:

What a very complicated way to get an alt brevit when every other type of note is so easy. But at least it works. Thanks

? It isn't more complicated to enter the basic note - just select the appropriate duration and enter the note normally the same as you would for any other note. And then, just as for any other note, if you wish to change the notehead to something other than the default, use the Properties panel. Not sure what you were thinking?

How is it complicated? This is how you enter a note of any length, only the number changes to set the duration.
