in Chord Symbols it works if you just type "natural", not sure this works in Figured Bass too?

Did not work, not in chord symbols either. Maybe because my MS is in my language? (Swedish) I can get the natural from symbols palett but then it is really really tiny. And it is too much work to go that way.

"anatural7" definitly works in Chord symbols (don't ask whether that chord symbols makes any sense)
But indeed not in Figured Bass. Might be an enhancement request?

anatural7 worked (but not natural alone). In chords.
In figured bass type an h and it will turn into a natural.

oh, even easier... that in turn won't work in Chord Symbols, as H is a notename over here

H is a notename over here too, but it does not work in chords. When transposing on the other hand, MuseScore uses H and B (in the transpose menu), but chords: B and Bb. One can put an H there, but then one can't transpose the chords.
Here we use both B/Bb and H/B so it can be very confusing. Some use H/Bb instead to avoid problems.

Switch to German chords then? See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/chord-symbols#note-spelling

Thanks! I will try that. Will come in handy. ^_^

Figure bass doesn't use note names, so there is no ambiguity using h for the natural.

That worked! :D
Since the natural sign problem is solved, I then wonder how to get a number which has a line through it.

I suggest that you read https://musescore.org/en/handbook/figured-bass, it will tell you all of the tricks to using figured bass, like putting figured bass on beats 1, 2, 3 and 4 on a whole note, numbers with slashes and everything else. After you read it, feel free to ask more questions if you still do not understand.

Thank you! I will check there. I just figured out the strike: number followed by back slash. But I will certainly check the handbook, since I also had troubles with several beats and whole note. I solved it with blanks, but thats not optimal if someone else gets the file.
