Adding harmonics

• May 15, 2025 - 21:19

Hello, I've been trying to add this kind of harmonics in the last version of Musescore, but I'm not able to. It's an indication for a pedal harp. Could anyone help me?

To make these harmonics one need to add the harmonic arcticulation to a note and make said articulation invisible https://handbook.musescore.org/basics/properties-panel#visible
Change the notehead shape to diamond as shown, make the note stemless. The harmonics in the 10th bar are eights and would beamed by default. That grouping can be broken with an option found in the "beam properties" palette as shown.
What is happening in the 12th bar? It is not possible to play F-natural and G-natural in the right hand and F# harmonic in the left hand simultaneously. Thus, F natural has to be played on the E string (E#). It is not possible to press both E and F pedals at the same time, those pedal changes have to be spread out in time. I have worked out a sensible pedal change for it but I wonder If those F naturals in the 11th bar are actually enharmonic E sharps played on tthe E strings.
