Can't seem to get the Capo function to work. What's up?
I am having trouble figuring out how to use the capo in Musescore. I have tried to follow the manual directions without any success. Is there any youtube description of how to get this to work?
I have gone to the add palette and add an icon for the capo. This is where things go wrong. There is no icon. I am using Musescore 3 if that makes any difference.
Please don't just refer me to the manual page on how to do this. Tried that,
I am doing something wrong but can't figure out what.
I would appreciate your assistance.

Could you share which page are you reading?
In Musescore 3, it is common to add a Staff Text object (Ctrl+T) , also available in the Text palette

I reckon OP is an Italian and may have read the page about Da capo :)

Thanks for the response.

Well, you are using 3.6.2, and in your last comment you provide the link to the version 4 handbook ? Totally différent. The new capo tool in V4 simply doesn't exist in the V3!
The V3 handbook info is here: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/capo-playback
You can read how the capo works in this version (3.6.2), illustrated by my GIF above.

Thank you for the response.
I am using 3.6.2.xxx and when I launch the on-line handbook from within the program it does take me to the V3. However, selecting "applying capo" in that handbook takes me to https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/applying-capos. I do not know why, nor do I much care at this point.
Your link shown above was helpful in solving my problem.
