Customization of toolbars
Please could someone tell me if it is possible to customize toolbars in Musescore version 3.4.2. I want to add the "slur" line button, next to the existing "tie" button on the Note Input toolbar.
Thank you for assistance.

Toolbars can get customized, but only with a fixed set of elements, you cannot add anything outside that set
.
Note though that there is a shortcut for adding slur: "S".

Thank you for your advice. I am surprised that there is no button on the toolbar for a "slur" when there is one for "tie"!

That's because slurs aren't really part of notes the way ties are; they are just articulation markings. The note input toolbar is for more note-related things - the actual pitch and duration. Other markings, including the hundreds of articulations, dynamics, lines, key signatures, barline styles, and so forth, are all found in the palette.

Thank you for your advice, Marc.
I am new to MuseScore but I have used Noteworthy Composer for 25 years; you may be interested in my overall impressions regarding MuseScore:
The input of the musical score in MuseScore is a much more modern interface for the user than Noteworthy Composer and I have to admit that it makes NWC seem a little tired! However, I have to say that I am astonished at the very poor interface MuseScore has with the user when it comes to input of lyrics. Just one example: it appears to be completely impossible to cut and paste lyrics text in any practical or meaningful way.
(I do not want to sound insulting; just wish to be helpful.)

Even easier with version 3.5 (or already with Beta 5), and this new implementation: #279926: Allow multiple similar items selection with shift+click
So, just click the first syllable you want, then Shift + click on the last one.
All you have to do now is Copy and Paste on the destination note.
