Bass Lines; sounding ghost notes with a percussive or muted sound.
Anyway to accomplish this? Followed help threads when Musescore was in it's early versions, like years ago.
Only complex work-around was offered at that time.

Listen to the attachment.
Though it's still a workaround, the playback sound is very good.
Also, the velocity can easily be changed as a group by right clicking one X notehead then: Select -> More -> Same notehead: Cross.
There is no need to change (as that attachment poster does) every individual ghost note.

Yes! Just putting the velocity to -40 and Staccatissimo on those ghost notes makes it sound great for my
purposes. Thank you.
Unfortunately, it is a Standard General MIDI issue, not a MuseScore issue.
There is not a "palm muted" sound patch defined into the Standard General MIDI.
The only way to really get this is to find a soundfont file with the bass palm muted sound defined as a separated instrument (MIDI patch) in some MIDI Bank.
Of course, if you get that soundfont file, you will have to use the "Instrument Change" staff text each time you want that sound, AND NOTE BY NOTE!!!
Sorry!!! Welcome to the reality. Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!

Thank you for your replies, and how timely they are. Can't get this good of service without
waving cold hard cash in the air :{}.
You can just click on the note and add a parenthesis on it. The one on the bottom left corner.
