Graphic import broken?
I've just tried to drag a graphic into my score from my pictures folder.
Nothing happened!
First I tried with an SVG and then with a JPEG - neither worked.
Is there a different procedure for graphic import now or is it broken?

Works for me, with a png, svg and jpg, when draging it onto a note or rest

Does the extension jpeg vs. jpg make a difference to MuseScore? If so, it is a bug.

it seems to me that you can insert, as says Jojo, and also putting your mouse on the title or on the frames of the text. Only if the tip of the cursor hit the blue lines.
I attach the image (must be defective), which creates the problem of reading (changing the extension to .jpg it works).

Can you add it to score after having renamed it to grog,jpg?
Edit: seems it works then, so we do have a bug in MuseScore not allowing for a .jpeg extension

see #23291: Image import doesn't allow for .jpeg extension
Try: drag the image above measure;
release the left mouse button.
OK I got that working :)
Next question is it possible to place the graphic behind the notation?
In the attached pic the imported red staff is in front of the notes.

I don't think it is possible. Score elements have the concept of Z position, but it is automatically attrbuted by the program to each element type and cannot be changed, not in the Inspector, not even in the debugger. Also, it would be probably not written to the file while saving.
I seem to remember it was possible to directly set the colour of the staff lines, but I can't find this either.
So, the answer is no, I'm afraid.

In that case I'll just write the whole thing in MuseScore then export as SVG so I can tweak the graphics then import it back in and make the original staff invisible.
That way it will still play back with the cursor highlighting the notes :)

I have made a quik-and-dirty hack to have coloured staff lines. Right now there is no UI (I tested it by just setting the colour in the .mscx file).
If you are interested, I can add some kind of UI and give it to you (or post a pull request). However, please note that scores with coloured staves are not back compatible (can't be read with current master), as they have one more tag.

That sounds good Miwarre.
I would be extremely interested in that, as, I suspect, will be a lot of early music enthusiasts using MuseScore.
I shall still have to import graphics as the note shape isn't quite right, and I don't think that the Meinrad font which has the proper shape for the Punctum is compatible with MuseScore?
Presumably if a glyph conversion table was produced that would work? Maybe something I could look at after Christmas.

You may find here the pull request with the staff colour implementation.
If you can get it and try it, let me know of any outcome!

The pull request with staff colour is now merged and available in (all?) nightlies. Does it work for you?
