It does not depend on Dorico, but on your machine. If you have a mac, go to System preferences>Keyboard and add the Unicode keyboard. Use the menu item to change keyboards (or set a keyboard shortcut), and when you have that Unicode Hex keyboard on, simply hold the alt key and press 266d for a flat.
If you have a pc, use google or search the forum, I know the answer has already been described.

Dear Dan, amazing work! Just purchased a newest version of MusGlyphs. Could you tell me please - are all the future updates available under a sent link I got per Email, or each future version have to be purchased again?
I would like to report - I do have in issue with rests in Pixelmator Pro. As Dorico doesnāt provide some graphical functionality, many of us use graphic programs to create some elementar forms like squares, lines etc. If I press ārā many times, MusGlyphs creates many whole rests instead of changing a half, quarter etc. If I copy a rest from letās say Pages, MusGlyphs work fine till I try to create a text inside of Pixelmator again. Does this issue can be solved inside of Pixelmator or I do have to report this problem to a Pixelmator team?
If you purchase the font through notation central, you will be notified of any future updates, although I wouldnāt count on many!
Whatever software you are using for it needs to have support for ligatures, and that setting needs to be turned on. Either the software you are using does not support ligatures, or that setting is not presently enabled.
I believe adobe illustrator supports ligatures, as does affinity designer.
I was just trying to replicate this big mess of Bachās BWV 617, and it seems like Musglyphs does not like a time signature of 24/16ā¦ anything I can do to force this?
(Dorico is happy to give me a 24/16 time signature, but getting the common time symbol before it is a huge pain.)
I had to create each glyph individually, and I didnāt get that far, but I agree 24/16 would be a good one. Iāll add that.
What version of MusGlyphs are you using at present? I canāt even remember what the current version is.
Thanks, Dan! Iām using version 2.1, and Iām continually grateful for your work on Musglyphs! Looks like Iām out of date, and the current version is 2.1.1.
And after a bunch of searching, I realized actually I can actually accomplish this crazy notation using interchangeable time signatures (forum link). But sometime in the future itād be really nice to have 24/16! Thanks so much, Dan.
Any chance these could work with irrational time signatures? 3/5, 7/6, etc.
Okay so two hours later of learning how to edit and make fonts I was able to add a 3/5 glyph myself. It feels like something that could be automated to generate all combinations of glyphs in the font but I donāt have the python(?!) to know how to do it! I reckon 1-20 top numbers for 1-16 denominators. Itās ~320 glyphs which is a pain but not impossible?
It is certainly possible using composite glyphs, but I had opted to place them manually to give me more control over their exact position. Glad you got it worked out!

Is using MusGlpyhs for metric modulations suitable for multi-instrument projects? I am having an issue where the system text only shows up in one of the parts and was wondering if there was a way around this?
In this post someone mentions the following: āDan, if using your MusGlyph fonts to create metric modulation indicators for a single-instrument projectā¦ā
So now Iām not so sure it can be used for a multi-instrument project, but just wanted to check.
Yes, just use System Text instead of Staff Text. Alt-Shift-X.
Cheers Dan. Thatās sorted it. Any suggestion as to why the Per-staff offset that I have set (so that the ā=ā sign of the tempo equation is over the barline) when working on the full score is showing up in the violin part but not the cello part?
This is a limitation of system-attached objects. Even if the Set local properties switch is set to Globally, itās only global to the staff above which the object appears in the score.
I see. Thanks Leo.
One workaround is to set your alignment of the text object to the right, then add a bit of white space at the end as needed. A little bit of fiddling and you should get close enough that you wonāt need to do any manual adjustment.
I wanted to write an indication for a J.Dilla Beat, but it doesnāt seem to be possible.
I tried ee = es.7 (similar to the qe3). It doesnāt work with quintuplets either.
OT, but have you read Dilla Time? I bought it as soon as it was released but havenāt had time to start it yet. Iāve heard itās great though!
I actually havenāt! Itās on my to-read-now, thanks!

I donāt think thatās a current glyph, but I can make it for you if you need it (as long as I can remember how to, haha).
That would be awesome.
Btw I was writing a 7:8 tuplet in my example, but to complicate things, some people would probably prefer a 7:4 tuplet 
I donāt know if you are willing to go down that rabbit hole.
