Note Names
so i just started using muse score 2 after looking for a "sibelius like program" and that fits the bill perfectly but i got a question. is there a way to get the note names to appear on the notes instead of above them in a jumble like i could get them to do on sibelius?

seems crowded, especially if you want #s shown, and maybe 'do-re-me' rather than 'c-d-e'
would be nicely didactic to just have a mouse over feature,
where you can turn it on or off, and also select the naming.

If you click a note the name of the note is shown in the status bar at the bottom left of the MuseScore window.

don't suppose you could teach me how to use the plugin as well? sigh it's duplicating notes and things. and i don't know how to make it stop. sure there's a thing explaining it but the explanation isn't getting through to me. help.

Should be a matter of selecting the notes you want (Ctrl+A) then run the plugin from the menu. Is this what you are doing? If it isn't having the desired effect, please attach your score so we can see for ourselves what is going on.

You very likely need to adjust the vertical offset of the new noteheads in the dialog box and make the original noteheads invisible to make it look good.

okay so even though i was able to SELECT all the notes, i could only move them individually. oh and on another note, how do i delete those empty measures? (i'm not skilled enough to play that intro so i deleted it) when i tried to just delete the measures the rest of the song sped up to compensate for the lost measures or something.

For the layout of the note names, before applying the plugin, change the value to the vertical offset to 0,50

Result:

About the deletion of the empty measures (Ctrl + Del): when you removing them, the tempo marking is also deleted since it's anchored to the first measure (and in this case, the tempo is setting to 120)
So, you have to put a new tempo marking on your score (eg from the Tempo palette), by default: quarter note = 80.

Edit this value as desired (instead of the quarter note = 91, on the imported mid file), or not (by choosing 91) by double-clicking on the tempo text.
Eg:

Select the measures and hit Ctrl+Del, to delete them. Just Del only empties them, i.e. deletes the notes

Also, FYI - you can move mutliple selected elements using the Inspector.
