Regarding Section Names

• Mar 8, 2024 - 19:17

Currently working on a transcription of Verdi's Requiem, and I wondered if there's currently a convenient means of adding a section name at the staff, as in a lot of choral music, i.e 'Choir' either representing a grouf of parts with instrument names or bracketing the names themselves.

Thanks in advance!

If you are trying to emulate the vertical text Coro and Soli in the example below, MuseScore does not offer such an option:

You can replicate the vertical text and bracket by using a horizontal frame containing two images.
But such a workaround:
a) is very fiddly to implement in the Properties panel;
b) is not robust;
c) would not scale correctly if the Scaling of the score is changed later on;
d) would not scale correctly if any instrument is added or removed later on;
e) cannot be automatically replicated on all pages after page 1.

Probably not worth the effort?
