Native American Flute Tab
I am in the process of arranging some church music for the Native American Flute. I do not know how to disabled the instrument label on Musescore so as to be able to use the NAFT system created by R. Carlos Nakai. Any info would help.

Right click on the staff -> Staff properties and you can edit the instrument long and short names.
You should be able to use this fonts for the fingering.
You could even make a plugin to automatically put the fingerings like this one for recorder
Edit :
Two more resources for American native flute tab fonts

While I have been able to find the fonts I have not been able to put them into my scores. I am not trying to make a fingering chart for C Soprano Recorder and I having the same type of problems. Only the recorder plugin does not allow me to set the font diagram to note. It may simply be I don't how to work with this plugin so that the fingering is the correct one I need for a child in our church choir.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you follow the installation instruction of the recorder fingering plugin?
You need to install the font on your system. See the instructions for windows or for MacOSX

I thought I had but maybe I didn't have it installed. I used the extract all tool and then put the font into the fonts folder for windows. I then installed I think I did the plugin. Well the fingering is totally all wrong. I just don't know what I did?
Is there another way to input the fonts like you would a text say in lyrics. I not totalyy sure how this work in musescore either. but I am willing to learn.
One last thing I'm not exactly daffy about the font it would be too hard for a youngster to work with and that is who I'm setting up a fingering chart with the notes so he can learn to play music.

The plugin was only compatible with a soprano tenor flute (All holes obtructed = C).
I've just updated it and it provides two menu items one for soprano tenor and another one for sopranino alto.
Check http://musescore.org/en/project/recorderfingering
If you have a score open you can also double-click on the instrument name to change the text.
I made a NAF fingering plugin for MuseScore 1.2. See http://musescore.org/en/project/naffingering
Feedback welcome.

Hi,
Does this plugin work w/ the current version of Musescore? I'd love to have this tool but I'm not clear on how to install it so it shows up in the plugins menu or if it's compatible. .
Many thanks.

No, it doesn't; the plugin system differs greatly between 1.x and 2+

Ok, that's what I thought. It would be great if it were updated for the current version ... I'd pay for that!

Try out this one. It also (still) needs that custom font to be installed.

Oops. I did not know that there were different plugins for different versions of MuseScore.
Does this GML work with MuseScore 3.6.2.... ?
How do I install it? I put it in the MuseScore/Plugins directory, but it does not show up in the Plugin Manager. I apparently need to do something to install it.
What font does it need?
I have never installed a plugin or a font before, and I have not found documentation or a tutorial on how to do it. I could not figure it out from the MuseScore manual. Any suggestions?

That one is for MuseScore 3.
When added to the My Documents/MuseScore3/Plugins directory (on Windows, as per https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/plugins#installation), it does show in the Plugin Manager
For it to actually work, you'd still need to downlod and install the font mentioned in https://musescore.org/en/project/native-american-flute-fingering, unfortunately the link on how to install the font doesn't work any longer, but those on http://www.flutopedia.com/fonts.htm should do (and you need to go the anyway, to get the font)
