For Ossias and studies...
How many different ways are there to do this?
Note that the resolution must not be lost while doing this process. It should be depicted exactly as it is shown in the image.
Image Capture does lead to some loss of resolution and is very difficult to fit in as it changes a lot of things in the score. (March.png)
Please write down some creative ways of doing this.

Seen it already? https://musescore.org/en/node/46236
For creating an ossia see: https://musescore.org/en/node/46236. With MuseScore 3.x for making measures invisible instead of using measure properties... in step 9 activate cutaway in staff properties...: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/staff-part-properties.
For something like that I'd definitely be using image capture. You can set the resolution of the capture however you want - just right-click the selected region to display a menu of options. Not sure what you mean about it changing things in the score, maybe you just need to disable autoplace for the image (press "=" or use the Inspector).

Or when using image capture save the capture to SVG. Then re-import that.
No loss of resolution at all.

Can't tell from that PDF, would need the score itself. Only thing that can be seen is that it is smaller, but not whether that is due to scaling or DPI of the image

OK, you apparently scaled it down, by quite a bit, about half the original size.

Here is another solution with using another small staff for the ossia (as kuwitt suggested):

Advantage is: size and spacing is always right

If it has, it is hardly notable in this pdf. Most likely you're thrown off by the subpixel rendering of that SVG on your screen.
Here's what I see when I zoom in on that PDF to 500%:

After converting it to pdf, zoom in to 6400% , (using adobe acrobat)
And please tell me what to do in the case of March.png

Use image capture:
After having selected your area, right-click (ctrl-click on mac) it and choose to "Save as SVG".
Then add the SVG back to the score as you would any other image (for example drag-n-drop it from a file browser)
No resolution loss involved.

(Using image capture would also capture stafflines.)
But you can use a third voice, set it to small and offset the y-value.

image capture won't capture staff lines if those were may invisible. Similar trick to how the swing markings in https://musescore.org/en/node/266325 are being generated

But what do I do with this problem?;
I need the image to match with the staff line without losing the resolution.
In reply to But what do I do with this… by FrombeettiMiz
Make the resolution of PNGs to be 360 DPI, as that is the 'native' score resolution.
Else scale the image to your needs using Inspector (but scaling PNGs will cause artifacts) or use SVG (which scale without artifacts).

Maybe a little bit OT an not sure If I understand it correct and if it's possible to implement, but just wonder: On SmufL there's a section "Beamed group of notes" (https://w3c.github.io/smufl/gitbook/tables/beamed-groups-of-notes.html) - maybe there's an other I missed. If I'm not wrong, at time you also can use staff text to combine this elements.
But I wonder, if it would be useful to have a combination of such elements for rhythm indication in a future version (inside the master palette or as pallet item) for the most common rhythm indications (?).

What are these?
In reply to ?? What are these? by FrombeettiMiz
My intention is: If your'e add a staff text, it's possible insert special characters. But AFAIK it doesn't work very comfortable for rhythm indication as described. But I could imagine to have in future a combination of such elements for rhythm indications somewhere, easily to add inside MuseScore.
