Mensural time signatures
Renaissance prolations:
Please how do I enter these in a score? I go to master palette, click on symbols, find Mediaeval / Renaissance prolations but when I try to enter one in a measure, it gets plonked on top of a rest or note. What am I doing wrongly?
Comments
The symbols palette is just that - symbols. MuseScore doesn't understand their meaning; you need to position them yourself. You'll probably it most useful to attach to either the barline or the first note of the measure, then move it, then do something else to force MuseScore to re-draw the score so autoplace can kick in to create room for it, then fine tune from there.
If you need further assistance, please attach your score and describe what you are trying to add and where. Then we can understand and assist better.
If it is just the time signature symbols you are after, you can change the appearance by right clicking on the time signature and select "Time Signature Properties...". In the dialog you can, under the "Appearance" heading, select "Other" and there select what I think are the "mensural time signatures".

Yes, thanks for mentioning that! Although I don’t think this is the full set of what can be found in the Symbols palette.
