reverse/inverted mordent
I've read several comments about adding mordent symbols and trying to get playback to approximate the desired effect. I haven't found anything about the possibility of inputting notation for the reverse or inverted mordent commonly seen in classical guitar music. This appears as two small (or miniature) 16th notes in front of the principal note they embellish (but played at once). The first note, which is the same tone as the principal note, will also be connected to the principal note with a slur. Never mind trying to get playback to manage this. Does anyone know if this notation can be done, or has it ever been tried? Any workarounds?

Articulation pallet, but they are not notated in the manner you describe, they are taken from classical music. I'm not sure if they will suit you. See attached.
From your visual description, it seems to me you are referring to an apoggiatura (or a double appoggiatura, as it is made of two notes).
You find the 'miniature notes' in the "Grace Notes" section of the F9 palette. You have to select the main note, add two of 16th grace notes adjusting their pitch, and lastly select the first grace note and add the slur (key [S]), which should result in something like this:
Did I understand you correctly?

Yes, I agree Miwarre, that is what he is asking for, however, I was not aware that classical guitar notation was any different from keyboard notation in the use of the lower mordent sign for this which is already in the Articulations and Ornaments palette.

Honestly I cannot quote any example on the spot, but I'm rather confident to have seen the mordent written out as grace notes in XVII music, before the modern signs for ornaments went into common use.
In any case, it is nice that MuseScore allows both forms.

Well, that was easy. Creating a double appoggiatura from the grace notes palatte gave me the results I wanted (the equivalent of a mordent, really). Very helpful. My thanks.
I managed to add the appogiatura, but MuseScore doesn't play it. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just one of those things that don't get played in MuseScore?
