Invisible Staff for Beginner Keyboard Notation
Hello from New Zealand.
I'm familiar with several publications of beginner keyboard music that use a concept to simplify music reading to kick-start and fast-track learning. This involves scores which have no clefs nor staffs/staves but include a simple diagram providing a hand position on the keys. Notes have letter names on the note-heads and finger numbers (where necessary) either above or below. Obviously the note-heads are relatively large. The pitch of the notes is relative ie as if the staff/stave is invisible. I'm wondering if it's possible please to create such a concept in MuseScore please.
Interested for any feedback you can provide.
With thanks
Sally

You can make lines, clef, time signature etc. invisible (right-click on staff for Stave/Part Properties). In Inspector you can change the Note, Head Scheme to show note letters in the note head. There is a Fingering palette to let you add numbers.

How do I make the bracket/brace invisible please? The Inspector panel doesn't appear to provide the option of making it invisible.

Select it and then press the delete key.
If needed, you can add it back from the 'Brackets' palette.
If you provide a picture example of the specific format you're trying to recreate, we can show you how to do so within MuseScore.
