Carillon 'Arpeggio' Notation
Greetings,
I'll post a picture of the hand-written figure I saw, if I can find it again.
Kinda looked like the mark of Zorro.
Due to the size of keys, there's an attractive sounding alternative to play an arpeggio that is also much easier.
For example, a C Major chord:
rather than play C3-E3-G3-C4-E4-G4-C5,
much easier to play alternate notes C3-G3-E3-C4-G3-E4-C4-G4-E4-C5 (if I've got it right),
and due to the reverberation of the bells, sound good.
How can I notate this manuver in MuseScore?
My Instructor, an experienced Professional Carillonist and arranger, doesn't have a good way.
Thanks.

There doesn't seem to be a SMuFL symbol for it (therefore music fonts won't have it), nor is there a 'native' MuseScore feature to draw these. But perhaps you could create it as an image and import it? Manual positioning will be required, but it should work. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/working-images

Great idea! Thank you for the advice, I'll work on that!
