Description
Your idea
It seems notation for slap and pop is missing in Musescore 4. Typically, the symbols "S" and "P" are used for slap and pop, respectively. However, other systems also exist.
Problem to be solved
Add notation for slap and pop, I'm sure myself and anybody else composing/transcribing bass lines would benefit from this.
Prior art
This is how the online notation app Soundslice implements it.

Start by locating the existing notation and bass technique support, then compare the desired slap and pop symbols with the Soundslice example and other supported systems. Done means the notation can be added to bass parts and is displayed consistently in the score.
