"sul pont" and "col legno battuto"

• Jan 9, 2022 - 23:24

I can't find anything in the Online Handbook about how to direct a stringed instrument to play "sul pont" or "col legno battuto". If there isn't, does anybody have a work-around to produce those sounds in a score?

See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/soundfonts-and-sfz-files#soundfonts
as stated there:
"MuseScore comes with its own GM (General MIDI) SoundFont, MuseScore_General.sf3, containing over 128 instruments, sound effects and various drum/percussion kits.":

The provided sounds will produce a basic rendition of your score.
If you wish to hear more finessed playing techniques you will need to find a soundfont that contains samples of those special sounds.
