Double dots
I'm entering a song that frequently uses double dots as note duration.
I thought there was a symbol for that on the tool bar but it seems to have disappeared /moved.
How do I get double dots and can I put the symbol back on the tool bar?

Found it !
You can also use a shortcut key. e.g....
5 ! A enters a quarter-note, double-dotted A.

Thanks Marc. Added a shortcut for the first time.
Must really make time to go through your training videos. MS3 is quite a difference from MS2 so I've decided NOT to install MS2 on my new PC which should(?) help me learn MS3 more quckly.
Thanks for all your help.
I'm using Version 3.3.4.24412 on a mac and I don't have Preferences under Edit, it's under File, but there doesn't seem to be an option to create a shortcut for double dots. I'm stumped at present. Advice on how to input double dots greatly received. Thanks.

Under Preferences you should see a tab Shortcuts, and there if you do a search for “dot” you will find it. But You don’t need to do that - you can switch to the Advanced workspace using the control on the toolbar and the double dot icon will appear there.
