If you have already made your score:
Style/General/Header, Footer, Numbers (see attached).
I prepare the text on Libreoffice and then copy and paste.
I do not know if it's the right way but it seems to work.
From File/Info ... you can add text (then edit as above).
If you're starting from scratch: just enter the text in the corresponding field Create new score wizard
Just copy/paste it into File->Info->copyright, then in header/footer use $C, $c or $:copyright:
Disturbingly, I don't think it's actually possible to reproduce that in MuseScore 2.0! Unless I'm missing something, the combination of the fact that (a) the copyright tag in File -> Info… itself only supports one line with the fact that (b) the Header, Footer, Numbers options in Style -> General… don't allow for creating text that will apply only on the first page (except for the copyright tag) means that it simply can't be done.
Again, I might have missed something, but I think this is a problem.

You could create it as ordinary text. One way to do it relatively "safely" would be to add it to the title frame and drag it to the bottom of the page - that would survive layout changes well, just not page size changes.
But yeah, I agree we still need a better story for footers and for copyright messages in particular.
BTW, the copyright message proposed in the image attached to the original post probably doesn't make sense. I don't think Thomas Haynes Bayly or anyone else still has a copyight on something created in 1883!

Why not? If that Mr. Bayly isn't yet 70 years dead, i.e. died after WWII
Oops, as per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Haynes_Bayly he died 1839, so indeed that copyright doesn't make any sense at all

Laws vary by country, but even if someone died after WWII, something they wrote in 1883 would not be still protected in the US at least. The system of basing copyright term on the death of the author rather than the date of authorship was no in place yet, and older works were not grandfathered in. For the US at least, 1923 is the hard cut-off date - absolutely nothing published before that year can possibly still be protected by copyright.

Multiline copyright is possible, just create it in any text editor (even a text frame in MuseScore), including the line feeds and copy /paste it across.

Strange—there's no way to see or edit the line breaks in File -> Info, but somehow they're still there. Thanks.

Yes, no way to see or enter them directly, but via copy/paste
In reply to Yes, no way to see or enter by Jojo-Schmitz
Is it possible to copy/paste a single line break? Or to move it by editing the text around it?

See feature request #69816: Add syntax for "first page only" and "except on first page" to Header, Footer, Numbers options.
