Thanks for your answer. It worked! Is there also a trick to set out the note names? Incase i made a mistake in the notes?? I made some lyrics and have another question. My daughter works with color from the note. I found the colours, but not every note is in it, can i copy and past more color in the colornotes.js? Is there a overview/manual from all notes in a row?
Hope to hear an answer to this questions.
Is a good programm!
Thanks. Miranda

There is a manual for creating plugins. See http://musescore.org/en/plugin-development

Thank you so simple I was looking for a delete in the file or the programme not the key board.

Can you explain what you mean? This thread is from nine years ago so probably doesn't actually apply to whatever it is you were trying to do, but feel free to attach your score and give more information if you are having some sort of problem.

HI Marc
I should have deleted this as soon after I found the solution. I just put it into google and the correct solution from musescore popped up. Thanks so much.

What do you mean by more colors ?
Currently the color notes plugin, use the convention of boomwackers. Each pitch have a different color. (C and C# are different). So there are 12 different colors.

What i mean is that i miss some notes, the ais, ges, etc.

Thanx
Ive come from the 0.96 version for PC when note names appeared at the top of the stave and have now uploaded 1.0 for Mac. Following on from Miranda's plea, how do I enter the plugin on a macbook? Each time I open the Plugin file on my Mac, there's nothing showing in the folder and I can't seem to access or edit anything to add.

Have you read the section on plugins in the manual (the Handbook)?

Thanks for that - I did look at this before:
MacOS X
On MacOS X, MuseScore looks for plugins in the MuseScore bundle in /Applications/MuseScore.app/Contents/Resources/plugins and in ~/Library/Application Support/MusE/MuseScore/plugins. Download an unzip the plugin file in one of these directories.
To be able to move files in the app bundle, right click on MuseScore.app and choose "Show package contents" to reveal the Contents directory.
However following the library link, it shows only "Application Support," then MusE, Musescore, Session, cookies.txt and Plugins. On opening the Plugins folder (nothing is showing) I can't seem to add the link in and no option to "show package contents," appears.
In reply to Thanks for that - I did look by muso_uk
The instruction to "Show package contents" apply only to the first path. For the second path, you can just unzip the file in the
pluginsdirectory.In reply to The instruction to "Show by [DELETED] 5
When I right clicked my mouse I got the following folders:
Contents
Frameworks
InfoPlist.
MacOS
Plugins
Resources
When expanding Plugins I get
Accessible
Codecs
Graphicssystems
iconengines
imageformats
script
In any of these files when clicked I then get a terminal window - the code cannot be added or saved.

Read the instructions again. In this folder, you need to open Resources and then plugins

Thank you so much! For others who may experience the problem on Macs, you have to transfer the existing notenames.js file to trash, and import the new "notenames.txt" to the plugins menu, preferably below or above "removenotes.js" or similar. Then click "Get Info" and change the title name to the ".js" extension. This will now allow notes to go on top of the stave rather than just above the notes - just the way my original 0.96 version had.
I currently have 2.0.2 latest version and running on El Capital OSX Mac. However the plugin adds notes above the notation, which for keyboard I would like to put the names DOWN below the notes. I am already using the lyric text line for keyboard finger numbers. Is there any way I can get the program to add letters below the notes as opposed to the top?

The plugin does notate elbow staff for voice 2 and 4, you can change that with a plain text editor

But if I do that I'd have to create the same line of notation an octave lower just to have those note names added to the page. Surely there should be a faster way? I am trying to create piano music here with single line melody, where notation lettering should be BELOW the note, not above it.
In reply to But if I do that I'd have to by muso_uk
I'm not quite understanding what you are saying - if you using lyrics, aren't those already below the notes, so wouldn't it make more sense to add the text above to avoid interfering with the lyrics? It would help if you attached your actual score so we can see what you mean.
Anyhow, text is easily moved in MuseScore. If you want to move all text of a given style, then you do so all at once by modifying the text style itself - right click one such element, Text Style, change the vertical offset. That will affect all elements that use that style. If you have other elements of the same style you *don't* want moved, then instead you'll want to select the ones you *do* want moved (lots of ways to do this, including the Select options on the right click menu) and use the Inspector to move them together.

I am trying the vertical offset now, to go to 2.50 which brings the letter name just below the first line of a treble cleff. Then I right click and "select all elements in the same stave" to also mount down to that vertical level of 2.50. Thing is, only ONE letter moves down, not all. I can see I will just have to do what I have been doing for years - Apply the Note Names automatically and then have to manually drag the letter names down below the notes and fix them as straight as I can.

You're doing it in the wrong order. First do the selection, *then* use the Inspector to mvoe them all together. It works just fine. If you are still having trouble, post the score you are having trouble with and we can show you more exactly step by step how to do it it's *much* easier than what you have been doing, and more precise as well.

Thank you I will try your suggestions!
