Is adding to a palette from the score working?
Hi, I want to add two common text indications to my text palette, namely div. and unis. I read in the manual that you can add an element from an open score by pressing Ctrl+Shift and then dragging to the palette.
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/palettes#Adding_elements_from_an_op…
I don't know what I could be doing wrong, but if I press Ctrl+Shift and then try to click on the element I want to drag, a no symbol appears (see image) and I can't do anything. (Yes, Enable editing is checked).
I saw some YouTube videos where this works on MS3, but it's not working for me using NuseScore 4.1.1 on Linux.

Same here (i'm on Linux Mint) BUT if i drag it to a cell of the palette, a little plus sign appears that it can be dropped.

Indeed! It works, thanks for pointing this out. I was confused because the behavior was different on MS3, according to the videos I found on YouTube.
I think the old behavior was more intuitive, the no symbol is a convention for something not allowed or not functional and doesn't seem to be very convenient in this case.

I'm not sure what you mean - there has been no change. The "no" symbol appears as long as your mouse pointer is over a location in which drop would not work, and changes when the pointer reaches a legitimate drop zone. That's pretty standard behavior.

There has been a change from 3 to 4. Dragging from either the master palette or the score onto a palette used to automatically add it. Now it simply doesn't work and shows the "can't drag-and-drop here" symbol, or the other commenter says we essentially have to add an empty slot before we can drop anything inside of it but I can't find a way to do such a thing.

There hasn’t been a specific change, it’s just that dragging is a bit “finicky” and sometimes stops working temporarily. Try closing and reopening the palette, or the program itself.
You don’t need to create an empty slot - that’s not a thing. Just as in previous versions, a new slot is created automatically, when it’s behaving properly.

Can confirm, on new boot it worked as intended.

Hi, how does one add an empty cell?
Drag and drop in 4.2 works fine. Master palette to regular palette. And score to palette. No need to create a space, either. The red circle doesn't stop you from movining the element.

See Marc’s post above:
“ The "no" symbol appears as long as your mouse pointer is over a location in which drop would not work, and changes when the pointer reaches a legitimate drop zone. That's pretty standard behavior.”
It still catches me out sometimes until I remember!
