rolls
I'm new to this... I'm writing up some percussion stuff and need to have a triangle roll across a few measures. I entered the notes and ties alright, but the closest thing to some sort of drumroll notation that I can find is the tremolo section on the palette. I've tried clicking and dragging them but they won't 'take'. Also poked around the forums and handbook but haven't seen anything relevant yet...

You have to drag to the note head (the note head will change color to indicate that it is active). I suppose this is a little counter intuitive since the tremolo slashes actually go on the stem. (I filed : #5092: Tremolos can't be dragged to note-stem )
Note that tremolos do not affect playback yet.

That's what I initially tried...I drag the tremolo over, the notehead turns red, I release, and the tremolo disappears. It seemed like the most logical thing to do; guess not. Thanks though!

Note that notes also appear red if they are out of the typical range for the instrument.
Not sure why the tremolos aren't working for you. Be sure to mention the operating system, MuseScore version. Also it might be helpful to attach the score you are having trouble with.
I have had the same problem. Try different ones. Some of them work with the notes, while other don't. Just try to use one of the other ones.

Could you give an example of a roll that doesn't work?
