Entering jazz solo suggestions for beginners
I am recreating a ABRSM Grade 1 Jazz examination piano score for my own use.
I attach a clip of measures 9 & 10 which form part of the examination solo.
Any ideas how I could enter the 3 note heads and put a box around them?

Maybe with an image?
Or, press Z and search notes, then drag (I attach a test)
You could enter the notes normally then mark them stemless in the Inspector. The box could be added as an image, or a a boxed text as shown above, or maybe you could just draw lines from the Lines palette.
Slightly different approach: (EDIT: not so 'different' as Marc was faster now :) )
Beam Properties

Stemless
Play
to prevent playback by MuseScore of those notes]Now as for the box around them, that is currently a little bit of a hassle, but the closest I got was using 2 plain lines from the
Lines
palette. The show up on the bottom left of that panel if you're looking at the Advanced workspace (see the dropdown selection box at the bottom of the palettes window to switch there).First I've aligned the top line:
Allow diagonal

Hook
property for the Begin and End section, with a height of 4.00sp (which equals the standard staff height)Line thickness
as you please, I've found 0.25sp to be quite a nice value for this situationSee the attachment for an example of this method.
