Stave Text option not available

• Aug 23, 2024 - 18:25

I watched a youtube video showing the new features of MuseScore Studio, and one cool feature is stave text. But on when I look at the tool pallete or at the Add/Text menu, stave text is not an option. I am running MuseScore OS: macOS 14.2, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.3.2-241630832, revision: 22b46f2

I am running on Windows, but the version and revision are the same:
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64,
MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.3.2-241630831, revision: 22b46f2

Even with a language option of English (GB), the "Stave text" option may appear as "Staff text" in Add > Text > Staff text. But in the Text Palette, that same option appears as "Stave text" on my insstallation. It doesn't matter, because both spellings refer to the same element, with a shortcut of Ctrl+T.

When you add a new instance of Stave text, the new option should become visible as a speaker icon when you select the newly-placed Stave text (see Bass Trombone below):

If you then select the speaker icon (single-click), a popup screen will show you the Modify sound options available for the instrument on that stave. The popup is highlighted in red in the image below:
