Opus Text Standard font
I'm writing a letter to Yamaha, enquiring about potential additional features on my digital piano. I want to include a diagram in which several notes are given their names – viz D-flat, E-flat, F-sharp, B-natural etc – but using the recognised symbols for the accidentals.
A friend of mine who uses Sibelius has Opus Text Standard in his fonts list, and can access these symbols from this font. I've downloaded Opus Text and I can now find it in my fonts list, but I can't get the symbols to appear.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Can you explain further what you mean - how are you trying to access the symbols, and what goes wrong when you try? If it's a standard text font, you should simply be able to set a text element to use that font in the Inspector, then type your text normally, or use the Special Characters palette (press F2 while editing) to access Unicode characters that you can't simply type.
This doesn't sound like a MuseScore problem. Somebody else might help you better but don't be disappointed if they do not.. I suggest that you find out the Unicode of the symbol that you want and input that code according to your Operating System.

Yes. Google "music accidentals unicode" and you will find them and can copy and paste them from there into your letter.

Thanks for your help. I may just copy and paste a staff from MuseScore into my letter!

If the goal is to just show ordinary music notation, that's definitely the dead simple way, there's even a built-in tool within MuseScore to capture an image of a selected region.
