Addition of Unison Lines
I'm writing scores using the Berger Monolinear Notation System (for Swiss/Scottish Drumming), and we use a line that Musescore doesn't provide called a "Unison Line". It's written above the measures to indicate when the whole drumline plays (compared to when the lead tip plays). We sometimes call it these lines "Chips" or "Lifts" or "Fortes", but "Unison Lines" are what they're usually known as when score writing. It looks similar to the "Pedal" line, only flipped so that it looks like this ┌─────────┐ instead of this └─────────┘, how difficult would it be to add something like this?
I'm trying to rid myself of Windows, and right now all the Scottish drumming notation software is only available in Windows, so it would save me having to boot up a VM when I want to write music. Thanks. :)

Add a Line from the palette, via Inspector set hook and position.

DUDE! That's brilliant! Thank you!
For anyone that doesn't understand what he just said, add the "Pedal Line", then:
View > Inspector (or F8) and change the "Set Hook" and "Distance" settings to make a "Unison Line".
This works perfectly.

Simple line
acoustically inert.

Actually, I recommend not using the pedal line for this, it will mess up playback and also MusicXML export. Instead simply use the plain simple line. Set the hooks, placement, and offset however you like, then Ctrl_Shift+drag it back to your palette for easy reuse.
