Editing fretboard diagrams
I`d like to edit a bit more on the fretboard diagram when it is "in the box", so that lines, sybols from the Master Palette or letters I fill in are anchored to the diagram and not to a note, as is the case when I edit after the diagram is placed in the score. Are there some existing solutions to this?

Can you be more specific? What additional symbols would you like to see added? Can you point to examples in published music?
Thanks for your response! Actually I find all I want to use in the fretboard diagram box on the keyboard or the symbols library. And when the fretboard diagram is placed in the score, anchored to a note (or beat), I can make what I need. But when the page is reorganized for some reason, the letters or symbols I have used loose alignment, and have to be adjusted.
So I thought that if a point on the fretboard diagram, in the box, could be established as an anchor, these readjustments could be avoided.
As an old guitarplayer I may have many personal ways to edit a fretboard diagram, but I do not think they have international interest! However, the need for an anhcor in the diagram box may be of common interest.
By the way, there are two international symbols I miss, and that I would like Musescore to rekognize: The symbol for "swing feel" : Two eights with a bar "is like" a triplet with a tie between the first two notes, and the comment "even eights". These way to start/stop swing feel are often found in big-band music.
AND: Thanks for the BOOK, "Mastering Muscore", on paper (!!), so that an old man can read it and put all his personal notes in it. Great!

I understand what you're saying about having personal symbols, but still I'm curious to see you score. The symbols might have more interest than you think. And in any case, if you have anchored the symbols to the same note as the diagram itself, it should generatelly survive reformatting to some extent. So I'd like to understand better what is going on here.
The note symbols for swing you mention *are* available in the special characters dialog that appears when you press F2 whhile editing text. It takes a bit of fiddling to make that particualr arrangement; many people find it easier to just insert that symbol as a graphic.
And you're welcome for the book :-)
