[[File:Diamond-mos raster full sheet.png|thumb|The transparent png sheet of all the diamond-mos accidentals. The purple pixels are to help you align them to the staff lines. Corresponds to musescore with Leland font at 800% zoom.]]The raster images of diamond-mos accidentals have been designed and created. You can make diamond-mos scores (without playback) entirely in notation software by using these images. There is also the possibility of exporting sheet music without diamond-mos symbols from notation software and then using image editing software to edit the symbols in.

=== Musescore ===

Creating a plugin to make diamond-mos scores play back correctly in MuseScore could be very difficult, and there are currently no plans to make one. MuseScore also doesn't support custom accidentals or even importing new musical fonts.

However, you can also paste raster images into MuseScore to use it for visual-only diamond-mos scores. I ([[User:SupahstarSaga|SupahstarSaga]]) have made a musescore score file from which you can copy diamond-mos symbols and paste them onto your own scores. The file can be downloaded [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/846137073048092702/873301599152390216/Diamond-mos_palette.mscz here]. Making scores this way is tedious but viable.

If you use key signatures in your score, fiddling with the individual accidental images every time you use the key signature would be very tedious. A solution is to combine the diamond clef and the key signature accidentals into a single image and pasting that onto the score. A large png sheet with the accidentals and clefs is available [[:File:Accidentals and clefs PNG for wiki.png|here]].

=== Dorico ===

Dorico supports microtonality, custom tuning systems, and custom accidentals. Diamond-mos notation with playback may be possible in Dorico, at least for heptatonic mosses. Even in Dorico, however, including the diamond clefs and boxes would potentially be difficult. [TODO: Investigate this further.]

The raster images of diamond-mos accidentals have been designed and created, so you can draw up diamond-mos notation in image editing software. You can also paste raster images into MuseScore to use it for visual-only diamond-mos scores. [TODO: Make a "palette" mscz file with diamond-mos images included to make this easier.]
