~~There is currently no way to use diamond-mos notation in notation software. There may be a font created for MuseScore which enables diamond-mos scores to be made. However, 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.

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.

The raster images of diamond-mos accidentals have been designed and created, so you can draw up diamond-mos notation in image editing software.

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.]
