text on conductor score only
Hi all. I tried adding some text to the conductors score on the title page (turning out to be quite the confusing effort). I've used a vertical frame and inserted an image file of a pdf I had created for the text. I didn't like just entering text in musescore because it didn't behave like I was hoping. Well, that messed up the program some how and when I would try the drop down for changing size the program immediately went to a drop down list for another function (choosing toolbars or something like that). Also, the navigation on my trackpad ceased to work. Also, I had made parts already but want to add text only to the conductor score and found the frames also added to ALL the parts as well (didn't know that, I'm new to frames) so now have to redo the fine-thing formatting of the parts. Is there a way at all to insert text in a similar style to a word processor? thanks so much.

Can you explain what you mean by "a similar style to a word processor"? If you mean word wrap, MuseScore doesn't support that, true, so you simply need to add line break, no reason to resort to image. It's not at all clear what you mean about messing up the program or changing toolbars, but if you attach your score and give us precise steps to reproduce whatever problem you are perceiving, we can try to assist.
As for parts, by definitely they should contain virtually everything that is in the score and vice versa. For the few excepts, simply press "V" to mark an element invisible in the part or the score as desired.
I know it's an old thread, but here is my workaround for someone looking for this :
I use an extra instrument, which is always silent, to attach whatever comment I want to its staff.
I usually choose a one-lined staff (ie. some percussion) and mark the staff line as invisible.
Once my text is attached, I eventually mark "cut" (not sure if it is so in the English interface; in MS3 it's noted as "corte" in the Spanish interface) in the staff properties, so that empty bars are hidden.
Obviously, I don't generate the part for that instrument. You still see the silences and some other minor stuff in that staff of the general score but I'm fine with it (and you always could make those invisible too).
It would be nice for sure to have a new category of text named "Conductor", intended to appear in the general score but not in the parts. Cheers!

Very good.

Now, you can set elements to be visible only in Score (or part)

Looking great! I'll try it as soon as I step on in MS4. Thanks!
Off topic: I stay with MS3 because of the global pitch feature in the synthesizer (A 442 or whatever). It's important for me and it is missing in MS4.
