There is also BarLabel.ms, which was intended specifically for rehearsal marks (I would have called it RehearsalMark.ms but at the time, I didn't realize that is what they are called). It can be easily scaled up or down in size, and will automatically determine the measure number. You can also enter alternate text, such as REFRAIN.

With the XText.hmm object, you can do boxed texts out of the box - just select Justification "Left/Center/Right (boxed)".

BOXMARK2 has been superseded long ago by the fonts in the PardyPack, courtesy of the good Lawrie.
Those fonts are backward compatible with BOXMARK and have glyphs to draw boxes and more. Not very easy but feasible.

Is there somewhere I can get the font BOXMARK2 (I think that is the name) that is needed to enter rehearsal marks on scores?

Absent that, is there some way to enter text, for example [REFRAIN], but in a box on the staff? I thought I saw that somewhere, but can't remember the steps to do it.

Thanks

That was what I did, as well as add and subtract from the 64 in stereo pan.
I had transcribed Eleanor Rigby but can't share it because of copyright restrictions.

Again, thanks.

A less tedious way: Performace style -> Staccato.
When finished: Performace style -> something else. I normally use Semplice.

Put a "marker" (keyboard shortcut @) before each note, check box "Articulation" and give the marker Visibility "Never".
This is the same logic that lets you hide slurs via markers; but staccato dots are "articulation".

(However, with your example, the dots are masked by the notes of the upper layered staff anyway

; but I admit that, somewhere else in the piece, they might be visible).

Dot placement is a different beast, it is for dotted notes.
