Yes.
1. Create a vertical frame
2. Add a horizontal frame to it
3. Add frame text to the horizontal frame.
In reply to Yes. 1. Create a vertical by ChurchOrganist
I am trying to put small boxes over measures with letters inside (A, B, C...) to identify sections.
I can create a vertical frame but nothing happens if I try to "add a horizontal frame to it"
How exactly should I do that?

For that marking you should use CTRL + M to add a rehearsal mark.

That is exactly what I was looking for.
I searched a lot. I id not know it was called rehearsal mark.
Thank you very much!

You can also use a rehearsal mark as a moveable frame to contain lyrics etc.. Create the rehearsal mark with [Ctrl]-m, enter your text and then press [Ctrl]-a to select all the the text and you can click on the text left-alignment button down near the bottom left of your screen (assuming you want the text left-aligned instead of the default, centred). For a more polished look (IMHO), right-click in the frame, choose Text Properties and reduce "Round" to 0 for square corners.
I recently updated to the new version of MuseScore and now I don't seem to be able to add text boxes. What I am doing is Appending a Verticle Frame, but then I can't figure out how to insert the horizontal frame that is needed for the text. I used to do this on the old version so I have a general idea of how it is supposed to work, but I haven't done it for a long time, so maybe I just forgot how.
I am on a Macintosh computer, OSX 10.6.8

Assuming by "new" you mean 1.2, just right click the frame and you'll see "Add text" as one of the options - no need to add a second frame.

Dear Marc,
Thanks for the response. It works and I feel kind of like an idiot because, Now that I do it, I realise that I knew this at one point.
By the way, Macintosh computers don't have "Right Click." It's one of the few things I regret about owning a Mac. We have a key called "Control" and to find those options we hold it down while clicking. So, for Macs it's "Control-Click on the Vertical Frame."
Cheers
