Footnotes

• Mar 3, 2014 - 20:46

In some scores, ornaments are just shown with a symbol in the actual score and a footnote to that symbol (e.g. a turn) shows in actual notes how to play that particular ornament. Is there a way to enter such footnotes to a musescore sheet?

Wow, yes that's more or less what I'm looking for except that your example is not exactly a footnote but using your technique, this would be feasible too.
I hope there is a better solution inserting an image into the scores. I'd prefer to be able to enter the notes in MS like the elswhere. I have just uploaded an example, see my other reply.

I added a vertical frame and inserted the text;
Ctrl + T on the note and I added the text (MusicalSymbol);
In the vertical frame I added the *. Jpg
(be careful not to make the case to the formal aspect).
Try experimenting ;-)

Well, you can certainly create the image using MuseScore. There is an outstanding feature request for "ossia" (do a search if you're not familiar) which is kind of similar but would likely be limited to measures displaying inline with the score. Snippets appearing at the bottom of the page would likely always have to be placed as graphics, ossia or no ossia.

Okay, so I really found something that MS cannot do out-of-the-box. Luckily it's not that important for me. It would just have been nice...
Thanks for all the hints which show me that there is a certain way how it can be managed anyway. It's really impressing how mighty this tool is.
