:I'm not familiar with MuseScore, but it's a valid choice to omit the higher precision extensions, as the ratios they notate are rarely used and therefore the added complexity may not be warranted. Magrathean in particular is something of a joke on the part of its authors (myself included), "Just how far can we push this idea". However, if MuseScore is using a recent version of the Bravura font, all the accents should be there, so you can compose your own Olympian symbols. To find their codepoints see: https://w3c.github.io/smufl/latest/tables/olympian-sagittal-extension-extreme-precision-accidental-diacritics.html. It's important to use the correct arrows so as to preserve an important property of Sagittal, namely that the visual size of a symbol is roughly proportional to the size of its pitch alteration.
