How To Import Image Into MuseScore

• Aug 12, 2019 - 19:03

1) I select the bar.

I drag the tab image (.png) onto the selected bar.

Close the MuseScore file.

When I open the image is gone.

???

2) How to align the imported image it looks like that. (See the attached image)

The rear side of the MuseScore staff is visible behind the imported image. I can't cover that with image. It always goes right side of the page.

Then save as?
Is the image transparent?
Select it, check by Inspector the stacking order.
Better attach the score...

OK..
First of all, attach the image to a rest, (not the full bar rest) so:
Click on the full measure rest in the last line on the second page and press '5'. This will give you a quarter rest onto which you drag the image.
Next, adjust the image size to cover the MuseScore staff.

Use menu item: View and tick 'Show Page Margins'.
If your image hits the (now visible) left page margin and can't cover the underlying MuseScore staff, untick 'Automatic placement' in the Inspector. Now you should be able to cover the underlying MuseScore staff completely.
The image should display on save/re-open.
