128th Notes
I am surprised to find that this software, which has been quite comprehensive up to this point, does not contain the ability to use 128th notes. I am currently transcribing parts for a Vivaldi concerto, and there are several 128th notes. Moreover, you can find these used in several early music virtuoso pieces such as those by Biber, as well as more modern (than Biber, that is) works such as Beethoven's "Pathetique" sonata that use them as well (as was noted in a forum post here in 2009.
Is there any plan to implement them? Without them, I will have to use another piece of software, which I really don't want to do...

128th are indeed not yet supported. If you need only an isolated notes you could hack something with the flags in the Z palette.

Excellent idea, but will it allow me to add more notes to the measure than it should have? (so, like an extra eight note that I add a 128th note flag to)? Or are you suggesting hacking together the whole note, notehead and all, using the Z palette?

You could change the actual duration of the measure. See properties in Measure operations
It would be very nice to have 128th notes as well as the maxima (quadruple breve)
Personally I think it's a useless feature. But, if it could be easy to add. Instead of having up there with the other note values, it could just be a key board short cut to add a flag to a note you've already put down.

It's not useless at all! A real musician needs it.

Usefulness is in the mind of the user.

Even Beethoven used 128th notes and he was from an era when music was still generally comprehensible. If you write a really slow piece and you need short notes, then 128th notes are sensible.

True, although it's surely extremely rare. Anyhow, they will be there in MuseScore 2.0.
