This was reported in #12300: MuseJazz Font is missing european diacritical characters:

I'm trying this on Linux (openSuse) with 1.1 during text entry, for example in the song title:

The CTRL+SHIFT u, code, ENTER method doesn't work.
Here in Firefox it works: CTRL+SHIFT u, then 0041 ENTER gives A, or 00A5 gives ¥.

COMPOSE ` a will enter an à, ss will enter ß, so that works.

Can someone please test with the latest trunk on Linux.

The input method works for all gtk programs (like firefox) but not for qt apps.
I implemented something similar for MuseScore with the restriction that numbers must be entered on the numerical pad. This should also work for other platforms.

Implemented in 151401e4b9
