Harp Muffling & Rhythm Notation

• Aug 9, 2016 - 11:23

With correlation to this: https://musescore.org/en/node/40761, harp muffling notation in Musescore is still agonising to figure out (at least to me). The best I can reproduce is by using 2nd voice and lines:

The lines disarrange themselves when the score/bar re-layouts, causing quite a troublesome time to reassemble them. Furthermore, the lines to the 'coda' requires some effort to straighten vertically.

Am I missing something important?

:EDIT:

Also, how does one make these rhythm-marks (genuine, not substitution of note heads - La - and etc.)?

use a straight glissando line (and disable its playback and text via inspector), gliss's attach to note heads and as such follow releayout nicely

I don't understand the line you mean, or the coda. Is this some sort of harp-specific notation?> Is it related to actual codas, or is the coda symbol being reused for some other purpose? In the thread you reference, a *different* symbol is shown, as well as instructions on how to find it on the Symbols palette. For the vertical line, you could create a zero-length line and make that the hook. Or use a vertical line from the Symbols palette, or any text font actually.

Sorry for the confusion, I called it a 'coda' because I use it to replace the damp 2 symbol (a circle with a cross within) which is absent in the Gonville text font.

'you could create a zero-length line and make that the hook'

Is there a way to extend the hook length?
