Unmetered conductor cues

Is there a feature for unmetered conductor cues? I’m looking for a downward arrow. If that doesn’t work I can always use an system object arrow for the vertical lines, but I wanted to check.

Edit: it seems like system object lines only works for horizontal lines?

Yes, system-attached lines can only be horizontal, because vertical lines are always attached to notes, and of course you can’t have notes that apply to all instruments.

In the future we are planning to add a dedicated feature for conductor cues, but for the time being creating a system-attached text item using the appropriate character from this SMuFL range is probably best.

Thanks, Daniel!
