Gregorian chant: Tone repetitions in modern notation for psalmody (psalm tones)
I'm trying to engrave a Gregorian psalmody exactly like this one here, in modern notation:

The example stems from here:
https://www.stretta-music.at/hirt-antwortpsalmen-und-rufe-vor-dem-evang…
ISSUE 1:
There should be noteheads in black with single (not double) vertical lines left and right, which indicate "tone is repeated over several syllabes". As it seems, musescore does not offer single-lined noteheads, neither filled nor empty noteheads, just empty double-lined noteheads in the visual option of the notehead...
ISSUE 2:
Moreover, in the lyrics of the verses, there should be some important clamps connecting several syllabes, e.g. in "Herr, zu" or "Ohr mir". Is there any possibility to produce that in MS4?
Thank you!

I can only see noteheads with single lines beside: the breve ("double whole note", looks like a whole note with single lines either side), and the longa (looks like a half note with single lines). I don't see any noteheads with double lines, though I assume that the maxima might have them (can't see it for some reason). You might find something useful in the Noteheads section of the Handbook: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/noteheads.
For the lyrics question, read the Lyrics section of the Handbook: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/lyrics, especially the sections on Entering syllables, Entering a melisma, and Elision slur.
