Creating stemless slash notes in 2.0 github-musescore-musescore-1ccf85a

I've mostly been using 1.3, and decided to try a 2.0 nightly build to see where things were going.

I'm creating a lead sheet for a jazz band, so want to have "slash chords" (i.e. stemless notes) in a solos section with chord names above.

How do I create stemless notes in 2.0? In 1.3, I could select a range of notes and right-click to get at a Properties dialog. In 2.0, I seem to have to go to a Measures Properties dialog to set the measure to be stemless. Which works, but I can't copy it to the other bars that need the same look.

There has to be an easier way that I'm just overlooking.

Thanks.

You can Ctrl + click several notes and open View -> Inspector. There should be a "stemless" option for chords. In the same window, you can also change the notehead to slash.

In 1.x you can't set a measure to be stemless, just a selection of notes.
in the nightlies you can't even do that, you'd have to make them stemless one by one, using the inspector (F8)

I take that back, it works in measure properties too

Also, for the record, in 1.x there was the Slash Notation Styles plugin to automate this process (also mark the notes silent, also allow for slash notes with stems to denote comping rhythm, or small notes above staff for kicks. My intent is to port this to 2.0.
