Drawing lines
When I have made my scores in MuseScore, i print them as pdf.
In Adobe Acrobat I draw lines mostly in red and/or blue for the jumps. My eyes follow the line to where I must continue to play. After a small change I need to draw those lines again. It would be nice if MuseScore hed to option to draw those lines.

Enter the Lines from the palette;
Double-click on them to display the handles you want to drag;
Open Inspector (F8) and set thickness and color.
If you wish to save the resulting line for future use, see Custom palettes.
Right-click on the line->Line properties to add a hook (it will always be perpendicular)

Hi all,
I'm trying to draw a vertical line as in my attached picture, but I don't seem to be able to do it following the above instructions. I'm using MuS v. 3.6
First of all in the LINES palette there is no vertical line but "lines" with musical meaning associated to them.
Thanks in advance for some help.

You can drag the endpoints of a line to make it vertical. But, for brackets crossing staves like that, with hooks also, probably easier to use a drawing program to create the symbol then paste it in as a graphic.

..actually I've discovered that it is possible, a friend of mine showed it to me this morning, see attached picture, the only constraint being that it has to be associated to a note, a rest won't do.
1) select the note to associate the square bracket to,
2) open the ARPEGGIO palette and click on the square bracket icon - it will appear as a very small ink splash that can be expanded as wanted via the mouse,
3) select the deployed square bracket and uncheck the AUTOMATIC PLACEMENT option via the INSPECTOR
and there you are!
So far I haven't seen any musical drawback impact on my score.

Musical drawback: it's an arpeggio line, so you must uncheck the "Play" property.
Visual drawback: the arpeggio line does not have a property to show or hide the hooks at top and bottom.
