Description
Your idea
A feature for adding a watermark to a score. The watermark would either be an image, or diagonally slanting light grey text that does not interact at all with any other material on the page.
Problem to be solved
There is no way to do this in Musescore. I have needed to write "Draft" or copy protect my scores in the past, and have been forced to edit it as a pdf. This feature would be much appreciated.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing score rendering and export flow, then clarify whether image watermarks, diagonal light-grey text, or both are required. Done means users can add a watermark such as “Draft” without it interacting with other page material.
