Custom chord naming

• Jan 9, 2021 - 20:27

Hi there,

I'm newish to Musescore. How do you represent a Flat symbol in a chord name? I don't have a flat symbol on my key board (that I know of). I do know it is unicode (U+266D) and I can copy the symbol from the internet and then paste it into a custom chord name but that seems kind of clunky. I did check the online manual but did not find anything helpful.

thanks,

Peter

See: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/chord-symbols#enter-chord-symbol
For general use use Ctrl+T to enter text and F2 or the alpha icon in the lower left corner for special characters.

Check the manual again: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/chord-symbols#enter-chord-symbol

Just type a regular lower case letter "b" and the chord parser will turn it into a flat.
