How to add an arrow?
Hi,
Is there a way to add an arrow at a random location in the notes? The only arrow I can find is the glissando arrow, but its location is fixed to slightly to the left of the note (see this example ). What I want is for the arrow to be exactly under the note, connecting it to the text. I am attaching an example I made using Photoshop. Is that possible it at all?

Press 'Z' for Master Palette.
Drag the symbol in the score and/or save it to a custom palette
Alternatively, Ctrl+L (insert lyrics) L
Type Alt+24 (numeric keypad)

thanks so much! needed this for chromatics, to indicate a high or lower fingering.
The glissando arrow can be made longer or shorter to suit your purpose by double-clicking on it and using the DownArrow key to make it longer. Its position can be altered by dragging it with the mouse or by going to Inspector and changing the vertical and horizontal offsets. A horizontal value of about 1.6 seems to centre on quarter notes and 1.9 for whole notes so there is no one perfect value for everything.
You can create an arrow of correct length and [Ctrl][Shift] drag it to a custom palette. You can then drag the arrow to where you want it and can fine-tune the position, if you want, using Inspector.

Thank you both! I found the [CTRL][SHIFT] drag to be a better solution for my use.

but this arrow will always point up, no? how do I rotate it 90 degrees? There doesen't seem to be any setting for this in the inspector...

or down, depending on what arpeggio you took
For other arrows use the symbols palette

The question is, how to add an element to the modified palette?

There are a number of different things discussed here, can you explain more precisely what you are trying to do? If you just want to add an arrow character to you score, probably easiest is to press "Z" to display the Symbols palette, then type "arrow" into the search box to see the standard arrows available. If you have a font that provides other arrow characters, you can select that font when adding text, using the Inspector.
