Keyboard layout
Hello!
I like having my Musescore interface in english language but I compose music with text in spanish, latin, italian and english. I've got used to using the "spanish keyboard" layout. How could I have this? Seems now I can't write accents like "mártyres" "pèro".
Thanks a lot comunity:)

Thanks:) Any idea on how to change this without the factory reset?

You'll find the setting in the advanced preferences tab.

But not as a popup for the different options, instead as a free text field. Difficult to change the setting that way

Indeed; I also very much doubt it'll solve anything here, as istr we only use that setting at startup to select the default shortcuts.
Other than that we only get completed keycodepresses from Qt, which in turn gets it from the OS keyboard driver.

I have found that, in the advanced-settings tab, you can check "first start" or something like that.
This way, I think it doesn't mess arround to much with custom settings.

We have a AZERTY lay-out.. but when I try to use nr. 5 or 6 on the digits at the top-side of the keyboard.. MuseScore doesn't recognise the as sutch.. so a bit anoying.

I guess you are talking about TAB staves?
6 must work. But for 5, it's a known issue: #292716: [TAB] Conflict between fret/number 5 and shortcut "Add parentheses to element" (AZERTY)
What OS are you using? I have ubuntu studio and I use a hardware UK keyboard (with the £ sign) but have set up a custom system keyboard (blend of Spanish, French and Esperanto) and all the accented characters I need now work in MuseScore. I have used Spanish and Welsh keyboard layouts on Windows in the past and they worked (I can't get into work at the moment to check if they still work in the latest MuseScore, though).
So, what is the hardware of yourrt keyboard, what OS are you using, what version of MuseScore etc. to help people help you?
if you're using Microsoft, one of the keyboard options is US-International. It's a QWERTY layout that will enable you to type charaters and diacritics used in most European languages with simple combinations of hot keys. It will readily interface with Musescore text fonts.
Here's a handy guide to it:
