Force chord symbols to appear above specific staves?
I have a big score and want to keep track of my harmony without having to hunt around for my chord symbols that will inevitably be spread out everywhere. There is also the fact that I don't necessarily want them to appear on the parts for most instruments (but yes for some).
Any ideas on how to achieve this?

From a plugin this is possible:
// we want the chord symbol over startstaff
if (track > 3){
var c=curScore.newCursor() // get a new cursor
c.track=cursor.track // set it to the current track &
c.rewindToTick(cursor.tick) // and the current tick
c.track=0 // now switch it to track 0
c.add(newharmony)
}

where do I paste this for it to work? Sorry, never fiddled with writing plugins in musescore.

Are you on MU3.6? If so please post a MU3.6 (or .MusicXML if you are on MU4) score sample that shows precisely what you need (do you need it for the whole score and/or for a selection?) I do not run MU4, so I cannot read MU4 files.
I have plugins for MU3.6 that read all chord symbols, so pasting the snippet above in there should do the trick, but may not work in MU4. That would be up to you to test and/or someone else to come to the rescue
