By band “diamond” I’m referring to the notation the symbolizes holding the chord (usually the value of a whole or half note), it’s pretty commonly seen in contemporary band chart for pop music.

Right now the only “diamond” notehead I see on the palate is the small diamond that means playing a harmonic.

The only closer option I have is the insert a semibreve (whole note) and then toggling that into slash notation, but that is still not the diamond I was looking for.

(I’m currently using the latest version of musescore 3.)

  • Could you post an example? I for one have no idea what you're talking about. – Creynders Oct 7 '19 at 7:35
  • Try looking in the other parts of the ornaments menu; I think I remember doing this in the past, but don't have access to MuseScore atm to check. Its probably not a note head though. – Legorhin Oct 7 '19 at 14:47
  • Tried looking under all the menus but still can’t find what I was looking for. Did cross my mind that it probably wasn’t a note head. – Susanna Lau劉慧祺 Oct 7 '19 at 17:33

I think this is the nearest offered by MuseScore.

Sibelius has these. I guess you have to get SOMETHING extra for the money!

  • Oh man.... I guess you’re right. It’s just the availability of different “fonts” how the slash notations can appear. Thanks a lot! – Susanna Lau劉慧祺 Oct 9 '19 at 21:51

Are any of these what you're looking for?

Selected note heads can be changed with the Inspector by pressing F8 , then, in the ▾ Note section, by choosing "Diamond" or another shape from the Head Group pull-down.

  • I don't think photos can be uploaded to comments, but in questions and answers, by clicking on the icon to the right of '{}', or pressing Ctrl-G. – Nevin Williams Oct 7 '19 at 18:24
