Position of Articulation Marks
In Musescore 3.0.5, I want (in some cases) for accent marks to appear above the staff by default. I find that I can force an individual accent mark below the staff to switch to above the staff through the Inspector panel. However, after much searching, I can't find a way in Musescore 3 to set the default for all accent marks to go above the staff.
I found the attached panel (from the Handbook 2) exists in Musescore 2, but the "equivalent" panel in Musescore 3 doesn't support setting the articulation positions globally. Is it possible in Musescore 3?

There is no way to set the position that way, but you can create a custom accent mark already force to above the staff, then save that to a custom palette as described in the Handbook under "Custom palettes".
Also, be aware the keyboard shortcut "X" works to flip most elements above/below the staff.

Yes, I've been using the "X" shortcut, but it's labourious to go at it one accent mark at a time.
I'll look into creating a custom palette.
Thanks for the reply!

The custom palette should work, but also, note you never have to do things one at a time - just wait until you're done, select all articulations with right-click / Select / All Similar Elements, then press "X" or do whatever else you otherwise might have done one at a time.

Don't be surprised - I didn't know that! :) (I've been a casual user of Sibelius 6 for many years.)
Thanks for the tip!
