Thank you. That worked. I know that I used to use the function key and something else, but it has not been working with the up-dated MuseScore.
How to enter a copyright symbol
You can make a © symbol using keystrokes on various operating systems:
Windows: Alt + 0 1 6 9 (numbers entered on NumPad)
MacOS: Option + g
Linux: Compose O C
Linux (Ubuntu) Shift + Alt Gr + c
ChromeOS: Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + u , a 9 , then ↵ Enter or Space
Comprehensive Keystroke guides ... including chars like: : ♯ ♭ ♮𝄪 𝄫
Apple's official guide of keyboard shortcuts for MacOS on U.S. Keyboard
Apple's Emoji & Symbols panel / Apple's Character Viewer
Edit > Emoji & Symbols
Search with "music" to get a list including: ♯ ♭ ♮𝄪 𝄫 and some music emojis like ♩♫ ♬ 🎹 🎼
You can save them to you Favorites area in the Emoji & Symbols window.
And you can copy/paste the symbols from two lines up.

Indeed! In Linux the Compose key can be difficult to find. On the Sun Workstations I used 30 years ago, there was a specific "compose" key. Now you will have to assign one of the other keys to become the compose key. Here are instructions for Ubuntu. It should work similarly for other Linux variants I guess.
My way of handling this is to do a web search for "copyright symbol" and then copy/paste from the result.

On Windows only if the numbers are entered on the NumPad (and that's only possible you your keyboard has one)
I just open an email or a document and type "(c)", which then does get converted and then use copy/paste

Hm, I'm on Linux (Ubuntu) and don't need a compose key to create a ©.
What I do is: Shift + Alt Gr + c

Isn't Alt Gr the same as Shift+Alt?

I did a web-search for "sharp symbol" and found all of these: ♯ ♭ ♮ × (top result)
You can cut and paste from here or from the search result if you do the search yourself.

This works in text on the score but does not work (for me) in naming instruments eg. E♭ Bass (Tuba). I have worked round it by going to another instrument that already has ♭ in its name and copying it. Its a bit of a faff.
