Can't find copyright
2.0
Still when I add my copyright symbol while creating my score, it shows as (C) rather than the circled "C".
Okay.
BUT, now when I attempt to click on it to redo it, which generally changes it to the proper symbol, it cannot be selected.
I have searched everywhere in MS and cannot find out how to change it. Surely it should be in the "Text" area as it is text.
Help, please.

It is in File → Info...
The old 1.x "(C)" trick indeed doesn't work anymore in 2.0. See #9737: "(c)" not turned into copyright symbol if entered in Create New Score wizard. Scroll down on that to #16 for the workaround...

Thanks, but see Marc: #21.
Perhaps it's a coding issue, but I can't see why ANY "C" between brackets in the Copyright section of a new score shouldn't produce the correct result. Anything else is user-unfriendly.
Having it in File -> info makes no sense to me. It's txt.

A "(C)" does produce the correct result, by staying a "(C)" ;-)
You want a ©, you enter it.
Copyright is part of the score's meta data and as such reachable vie File / Info.

Great. That's cute.
HOW do I enter it.

Copy/paste. Don't beat the messenger, I'm just telling how it is and why, as you can see from that issue I linked to, I was of a different opinion (and still am). As was Marc.

Sorry, just frustrated. Copy/paste what? Where do I copy?

Going to file > info gives me the attached screen shot. There is no way to do what I want.

Do it on the score (the left most tab), not a part

Got it.
Now, how do I make the copyright symbol? I do not have a numeric keyboard.

Copy © from here, paste to File / Info... / Copyright
Sorry, no better answer for now...

This is amazing. Do you mean I have to go somewhere? where there is a textual copyright symbol, copy it and then paste it into the appropriate place? :)
Thanks.

Yes, unfortunately.

And maybe drag, by the score, in a custom palette, see also

If you're running Windows, you can always use the Character Map application to easily find a © (in fact, it's where I got that one). It's the 14th symbol after lower-case 'z'.
FWIW, since I am also now on a keubaord with no numeric keypad and henbce no obvious way to enter a copyright symbol, I generally use the Special Characters palette to enter the copyright symbol into the title or somewhere else (eg, double click title, press F2, double click copyright symbol), copy it from there, then go to File / Info and paste. I still don't like it, but I've moved on :-)

Thanks all.
Here's an idea. Is it possible for the New Score Wizard to open up with some text already filled in? If so, simply put that one little symbol in the otherwise empty Copyright box, saving the user a serious headache. Like this:

It's not a bad idea. Downside would be that often you might not want to enter copyright text and often people would probably forget forget to erase it.
Note MuseScore *does* prepopulate this box with whatever you used for the last score you created during this session.
