Set arbitrary text to the left of each staff

• Sep 6, 2024 - 21:15

Please see attached screenshot.
The bottom is a .pdf textbook excercise to fill missing tetrachords.
The top is the task completed in MuseScore.
But I need the top staff to be marked "а)",
the middle staff to be marked "б)",
and the bottom staff to be marked "в)",
as they are in the textbook.
(it would be "a)", "b)" and "c)" were it in English).
Currently all of them are marked "а)" - I renamed the instrument from "Piano" to "а)".
Renaming any of them renames all the rest.
Adding another instrument makes staffs connected with undesired vertical bars.
Just adding arbitrary text in an arbitrary position seems to be not allowed.
It feels it should be easy but I'm stuck.
Thanks

You can't have different names when there is only one instrument. Use three instruments, right-click on a barline and Select...similar then go into the Properties tab and un-tick Span to next stave. For anything else you do not want to see, either delete it or make it invisible.

Don't use the Instrument name for this feature. Leave the Instrument name blank (or perhaps as spaces to create an indent).

Instead, use a Rehearsal Mark in the first measure of the system, then move the Rehearsal Mark to the left using the Offsets in the Properties panel. Then you can search for each rehearsal mark using Ctrl+F.
