Jazz Rolls

How do you do jazz rolls (not sure if technical term) in musescore?

Like in "Strange Meadow Lark" by Dave Brubeck.

Thanks for the help.

I would go for a long measure and small notes.
Right click a measure and change the actual duration to fit all the notes. Or enter them in several measures and then use Edit > Measures > Join.
Then select all the notes and in Display > Inspector make them small.
For rest, make them invisible, select and press V.
See attached file.

PS: I believe the technical term is "cadenza".

Making the notes smaller and hiding the rests definitely made it look better. Yep I think the term is cadenza.

Thank you everyone for your help.
