Newbie question of fretboards

• Aug 30, 2019 - 02:35

Hi, absolute Newbie to MuseScore.

I am trying to add a custom fretboard diagram back to the palette to enable easy and multiple uses.

Can't seem to get how to do that, would a kind soul on this forum please advise ?

Thanks.

                                                                                                        --- geoff.

Did you read the Handbook section on "Custom palettes"? Hint: creating a custom workspace is the step most people leave out.

Yep - sure did.

I am using an advanced workspace ("test"), and have a custom palette saved for the fretboard diagrams.

What I can't work out is how to add a diagram to the custom palette. The manual is silent on "how to save" or "how to add" a fretboard diagram.

Drag and drop doesn't do it, copy/past doesn't do it - etc.

Hence the reach out.

I must be doing something dumb, its a question of how to add the fretboard to the custom palette.

Cheers.

                                                                                                 --- geoff.

It's right there in the second paragraph:

To add an existing score element (such as a line, text, dynamic, fretboard diagram etc.) to a custom palette:

Press and hold Ctrl+Shift (Mac: Cmd+Shift), then drag the symbol onto the palette.
