Breath mark
When marking up a vocal score I use a tick or check mark to indicate a breath. This is common usage in the UK in my experience. The ‘apostrophe’ mark is used to indicate a break shorter than the ‘tramlines’ caesura.
Would it be possible to include the ‘tick mark’ in the palette as an alternative breath mark alongside the apostrophe? I know it is available in Dingbats under Special Characters.

the single tick is in the palette or is your's looking different from what https://musescore.org/en/handbook/breaths-and-pauses shows?

That’s what I called the apostrophe. What I call a tick mark is like this √. I think it’s U+2713, but OPT + V does it on my Mac keyboard.

OK, the corressponding glyph is breathMarkTick, names "Breath mark (tick-like)", it is available in Bravura at least. As far as I can see it is missing in Emmentaler and Gonville, but once added there it should be easy to add it to the breath palette (it is available in the Symbols palette already)
While at it we could also add the other 2 additional breaths (breathMarkSalzedo, breathMarkUpbow) and the other 2 additional caesuras (caesuraShort, caesuraThick), so we have the full set supported by SMuFL

This makes it appear that the full range of breath marks have been added, but I can still only find three in the palette. Like the OP in this question, I want the "V" shaped one... is this possible??

"nightly master" meaning, it will become part of MuseScore 3 but is not yet part of any release.

Thank you thank you thank you! I "grew up" in choir singing using the "V" for breathing. Something to look forward to.
Old thread, but I hope this is an appropriate place. In the attached file, I want to indicate that the singer should inhale because she has to make it from 6 - 19 in one breath. Is the V the way to do this?
