=====Musescore 3=====
====Before Entering Notes====
  * **If there is a pickup note at the start** then it's easier to create a pickup measure in the wizard than after the fact. But if you forget, it's okay; you can split a measure later and make it work.
  * Time signature
    * Most settings are in free time, or just don't need a signature.
  * Turn off measure numbers: Format -> Style -> uncheck Measure Numbers
  * Turn off page numbers: Format -> Style -> Page FIXME This option is not here
  * Key signature
    * On the left, "Key signatures" is a palette. Drag and drop (I think?)

====Note Entry====
  * add notes
    * It likes to jump octaves when you least expect it. ctrl+up and ctrl+down move the currently-selected note up or down an octave.
    * Tuplets: In Note Entry mode, select a note the total length of the tuplet. (So, for 3 quarter note triplets, select a half note.) Push ctrl+3, then enter the three notes.
    * Fermata: Select the note that gets the fermata. From the "Articulations" palette on the left, double-click the fermata.
  * If you add 4 eighth notes, it is likely to bar them all together. To split into two pairs:
    * Select the third note
    * Expand the "Beam Properties" palette
    * **double-click** the left-most option. Now notes 1-2 should have a bar and notes 3-4 should have a bar.
  * add slurs
  * delete extra measures: Select and press **CTRL + DEL**

===Cue Notes===
  * If the inspector pane isn't on the left, press F8, or go View -> Inspector.
  * Select the notes you want to be cue notes
    * (Unfortunately it seems you can't select a range, but you can select all the notes at once with ctrl+click)
  * Under **Chord** check "Small"
  * Under **Note** leave "Small" **unchecked**

===Splitting a Measure===
  * Select the note immediately after where you want the split
  * Tools -> Measure -> "Split Measure Before Selected Note/Rest"
  * Select a note in the measure before the split
  * press enter; the lines should be how you want them now.

===Hiding Stuff===
To make the words easier to fit, you might want to leave the clef, key signature, or time signature out of the slides.
  * Have the inspector pane open. (F8 or turn on View -> Inspector)
  * If it's one thing you want to hide, select it, and un-check "visible" in the Inspector.
  * If it's multiple things, select them all, and click the "mark all invisible" button.
These items will show up in gray on the score but they won't be included in the printout

====Format for exporting====
  * Set page to A7, landscape
  * FIXME The default margins (10 mm) are probably sub-optimal.
  * Futz with the spacing until you're happy
  * Print to a PDF
  * Open the PDF in Atril
  * Set the zoom to 300%
  * Take screenshots

=====GIMP=====
====Fix colors====
  * Paste your screenshot as a new image and set the zoom to 66%.
  * use Colors -> Curves to increase all values below 240 to 255.
====Crop====
  * Select a box around the line. Adjust the "handles" on the selection one by one until
    - The top and bottom **handles** touch the top and bottom of the **staff**
    - The left and right **edges** of the either touch or cut off the ends of the staff lines, as appropriate.
    - If those dimensions cut something off, go back to MuseScore and find a clef that fits the music better.
  * Image -> Crop To Selection
====Export====
  * (ctrl+shift+E) File -> Export As...

Files should be named to this pattern: FIXME
