How to create a rallentando
New to Musescore 3, and using a Panasonic Toughbook, I want to create a rallentando at the end of the piece that I am composing. The manual isn't very helpful (for me, as a beginner.) So how do i do this?

By using the plugin (https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/plugins) "Tempo changes" (https://musescore.org/en/project/tempochanges).

Many thanks for the link. However, as a complete novice, I am not sure which plugin to load up
I just want to be able to create a rallentando in the last few bars of the piece on which I am working.
Best wishes,
Christopher

You don't have to use the Tempo Changes plugin - it just automates a task which is a bit tiresome.
Instead you can manually add a Tempo element (from the Tempo palette) to each of the notes in the rall.
Then change each Tempo element to a gradually slower speed (using the Inspector - F8).
Finally, make all the Tempo elements invisible - perhaps except the first one, where you can change the text to "rall."

Thank you SO much Daniel, because I would never have thought about looking up palletes to find the Tempo element! First-class help, thanks!

I installed it, but it looks like it doesn't work properly.
The tempochanges panel appears, but I can't change initial and final time.
That's frustrating. Moreover, the text boxes are not invisible at all in the music sheet...

Do other plugins with text input fields work? Such as the built-in ABC-notation plugin (as in, can you write in that text field without issue?)

It actually is, by using that plugin. And there's a handbook that describes how to install and use them too BTW.

OH yes.
Also wanted the rall and found this forum's answers were spot on and was so simple to implement the tempo plug in. Thanks
Just noticed that there is no way to add the word Rallentando (and seemingly quite a few other tempo directions other than fixed tempos) other than by using system text? And I don't mean adding the actually tempo changes for playback, just the direction.
Is this correct? Same with Diminuendo etc. Standard musical terms I'd have thought. Hopefully I've just missed finding them, or they'll appear in Version 4!

Just use staff- or system text

There are probably at least 1000 different terms that could be considered "standard"; we can't very well put every single one on the palette. That;'s why instead we make it much easier than scrolling through a gigantic list of standard terms - just type whatever you want as staff, system, expression, or tempo text. And if you happen to use some particular terms a lot, you can easily add them to your own palette via Ctrl+Shift+drag.

Of course you're right! I guess I'm just used to having them at my fingertips, and I didn't know I could save my faves so thanks for that!
Sorry I have downloaded the Tempo Changes Plugin as suggested on Mac OS for Muse 3. It comes as a folder containing qml files, a readme.md file, license etc. What am I supposed to do with it? I read "installation" which said I need to unzip the file (no need as not a zip file) but I can't open or run amp or md files so what then?

If you already have it as a folded,r and it's directly underneath your Plugins folder, you simply need to move on to the next step of the instructions, where it explains how to open the plugin manager and enable the plugin.
See #9383: Rubato: ritardando and accelerando
If you have upgraded to musescore 4, in the tempo section there should be a rall. It just works, no plugins needed
