Accents & Falls in notation???
As a new user of Musescore, I have been very impressed with both the ease of use and the coverage of complex notations within the program. I am a bit stuck with a couple that I just cant find (in either the application, in-line or on-line help) ...
1st How do I set a basic accent on a note(The 'greater than sign' that you place over the accented note). I can find plenty of what I would consider 'more complex' articulations (tenuto, marcarto, etc) - but no basic 'accent'. Where do I look for that?
2nd How to demote a 'fall' from a note? I am transcribing swing band music here, btw .. so it is not quite an arpeggio or gliss that I need here.
3rd - I have 17 parts to arrange (full big band) - Is it posisible to set rehearsal marks, Cress / Dim lines & other 'common text items' once - for all the parts in the score - or do I need to manually place them for each part?
Lastly (for now) - I get some cresendos & diminuendos that run over 4 or 5 bars. How do I show those when they wrap onto the next stave?
Thanks
Chris

1/ The 10th one ins the articulation palette?
2/ Fall is not supported yet. It will be in the next version. You could use a slur.
3/ Rehearsal mark (Ctrl + M) are only needed at the top of the score. They will be outputed to all the parts. If you write Cresc or dim, you can make it a system text (Create -> text -> system text). For hairpin lines, you need to put them on each staff (obviously?).
4/ To extend lines (slur, crescendo etc...), never used the mouse. Double click the line and use Shift + right arrow. Or click on the first note and shift click on the last, and press S (for slur) or H (for crescendo) or Shift + H (decrescendo).

Yes - of course,
Many thanks,
The I was getting confused with the accent mark - because the hand written score has it the other way around! (beware of arrangers who dont leave their name)
I will experiment with the crescendo marks, etc .. thanks for the hint
& I look forward to the next release.

So I'm on the new version four years later. Which symbol is the one for fall please?
Oh, it's under 'arpeggios', but it doesn't seem to have any effect

AFAIK only the glissandos and arpeggios affect playback in that palette. The others are only for live musicians to play.
1. Select the note, then double click the > from the Articulations palette. There are more of those available there.
2. doit and fall will be included in the next release, I believe
3. rehearsal mark not replication onto the part is a know bug I beliebe and fixed in next release, if I remember correctly. You may double check by downloading and trying a nightly build.
Edit: hmm, there#s a fix about rehearsal makrs disappearing if using 'hide empty staves' and the top staff is empty
4. Where' the problem? They do work accross line breake.
