Reciting Tones
I've seen people use reciting tones (like used in psalmody where there are multiple syllables per note) in Musescore, but I've been unable to find where they are to insert them. All searches of the software and forums have turned up nothing - though there are plenty of entries on how to add multiple syllables to a recitation note. Any ideas where I can find them?

I'm asking how to insert a reciting tone.
I'm confused by the statement "there are plenty of entries on how to add multiple syllables to a recitation note" - are you saying you are looking for information other than that? I am not sure what else you might mean, unless maybe it is, how to add a breve for the note itself. In which case, the answer is, using the toolbar, same as any other duration. And, in case you are saying you see people asking how to enter multiple syllables but haven't found the answer - use Ctrl+Space to add spaces between words, probably also use the Inspector to set the alignment of the lyric to left.

Yes, I did mean where exactly do I find the breve note? I've realized that you need to enable "advanced" editing from the dropdown list (on top right) and then the breve is in there.
