Custom glissandi
How can I have a custom scale on harps, I'm muting the tuplets, having the clusters act as the "Diatonic" tuning for the glissandi which im setting to "Diatonic". Musescore seems to be acting up on me.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it, I've attached the file below and the look of the scale. Thanks!

Since you weren't really clear about what exactly is your issue, have a look at the attached example m44.
Get the notation correct (except the gliss) using voice 1; add the normal 1/4th note and use grace note after for the gliss scale notes, use the beam palette to make them single beam and the inspector to make them stemless. Use the inspector to turn of "play" both for the main note as well as those grace notes.
Use the 2nd voice and place the same main note, but this time only one grace note, mark them both invisible and uncheck play. Use cross-staff notation on the grace note to make it a high G on the treble staff.
Add the gliss to the main note, slightly adjust the end point to make it overlap the invisible ending grace note notehead. Once again, turn off playback for it using the inspector.
Since built-in playback doesn't give you what you want, use and additional instrument to write out the desired playback; then mark it as invisible so it doesn't affect score layout.
All of these points have been applied to the example m44. I've also solo'd playback for both harp instruments in the mixer. You'll want to make the "Harp Glissandos" instrument visible again (Edit > Instruments or Timeline View) to tweak the gliss playback to your liking. And turn on "View > Invisible" to see the 2nd voice trick for the visual gliss. marking.
How can one make this in musescore and have it affect playback too?

Not possible

You'd use invisible notation for playback and either abuse slurs or import a graphic for the symbol.

Alrighty, thanks
I have given up on trying stuff like this. I use an invisible staff and write out all the notes. It seems to be easiest.
I don't believe there is an instrument such as "Key Tree"??
How should go about doing the 3rd percussion line with the double sharps?? can one even add "double sharps" to a (unpitched) percussion line?

You can always add a (non-functional) double sharp symbol from the master palette symbols. So you'd add the normal playback notes you want, mark them invisible and attach the double sharp symbol to them.

It might be a bell tree, I don't know. I do know that you are not seeing double sharps. That is the cross notehead. You can adjust that in the drumset editor or in the inspector.

Start with the change instrument text; then add (if required) a change staff type element (found in the text palette I believe)

How can I have the single line line up with the middle (3rd) line of the 5 line staff
In the image below, I cannot seem to change it back to the original 5 line notation after I've completed the single line percussion segments. It's not letting me change it back to five lines.
When selected the measure that I have the tubular bells on, it reads "Line: Percussion - 5", shouldn't it read "Line: Percussion - 1"? for when I have it as one line?

Sharing a score is so much easier to understand what is going on compared to screenshots.
But in any case, the Staff/Part-properties dialog shows the lines value of the initial instrument for a staff; and that is a missing feature/bug that it isn't time-position aware for those values.
Use the Inspector with the Staff Type Change element selected to see the actual properties for that position instead.
So to change back after x measures; add another Staff Type Change element at that position and use the inspector to restore the lines value for it.

Yes thats on me. My apologies, ill go ahead and share the MuseScore file later on today !! Thanks again, that was my bad. Ill reply to this comment with the current session in progress

Here's the MuseScore session, the tubular bell staff change needed is on measure 128, page 15, 2nd (middle) percussion line (staff number 18)

So indeed, click on the Staff Type change element already present there and use the Inspector to change the lines from 1 back to 5.

This worked beautifully, thank you so much !!
I don't believe that there is such symbol (eighth note equals quarter note) in MuseScore. I could be mistaken however.
If there isn't how could I achieve the same result

Just build it yourself, using the F2 special character table
Is there such whole step "sharp" trill?
Also, I don't think there is, also the F2 special character table does not run on Mac.
I'm running MuseScore 3.6.2 on Mac

It is fn+F2 on a Mac (and on editing a text), see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/text-editing#symbols-and-special-ch…

In the trill's Inspector disable playback for the one you don't want to hear

In order to assist, we would need you to attach your actual score rather than just a picture, and to give the precise steps to reproduce the problem. In general, you should certainly be able to change form 1-line to 5-line the same way you changed from 5 to 1. If you aren't already, you can use the staff type change element from the text palette to change staff attributes like the line offset mid-score.

Hiya,
Someone is already helping me with this issue, and I've attached the score in a reply above this thread.
Thank you, I appreciate it
How can one have congruent beams from score to parts, to have the Celesta similar to whats on the score, and when I export the part, the beams won't be all over the place.
In reply to How can one have congruent… by Jesus del Campo
I don't see what issue you're having there. Nor what this has got to do with glissandi?
In reply to How can one have congruent… by Jesus del Campo
Hard to say from just a picture - posting the actual score is more useful to people wishing to help. But my guess is you customized the beam position in the score, and are wondering why it isn't reflected in the parts? Currently, formatting adjustments like this are maintained independently, because often you need them to be different. Someday I hope to see a way devised to override which adjustments are linked and which are not. For now though, you simply need to make the same adjustment in both places. Or, since it's way more important in the part than the score, just make it there.
Meanwhile, if it's any consolation, MuseScore 4 greatly improves the beaming algorithm so adjustment shouldn't be necessary so often.
I'm having trouble adding even space to this, similar to what an indent/tab function would do in Microsoft Word. How is it possible to have this style of spacing, and how would one go about doing so, im running a blank page in musescore.
I have the "Instrumentation" centered part down, now the tricky part for me is how to do the two columns, pressing, "Spacebar" would be rather inconvinient. So I'm at a loss on how one could approach this

Use two frames, side by side.

Or even just add two separate texts, one for each column

When scoring things as such. how can one replicate it in Musescore.
How can one indicate the players (on the side of the clefs)?

That’s kind of a weird non-standard notation; you’re probably better off just entering the gliss normally. But for the record, if you did have some special reason to use that particular non-standard notation, you could enter a sixteenth note beamed over a rest, make the rest invisible, and change the notehead to half in the Inspector. Way simpler to just enter a half as per standard rules of notation, though.

Right will do, I should have thought of that notehead alternative far sooner, thanks for that!
How would one be able to do the repeat within the Harp line and not be affected with the other parts, and how would one go about adding the line after the repeat, in order to signify a continuation of the motion found within the repeats.
In reply to How would one be able to do… by Jesus del Campo
This is not something normally a part of standard notation,so it's not something MuseScore supports directly, but you could add those repeats from the Symbols palette (press "Z" to display). Or add it normally but hide it on other staves.
