At the end of a song, would like to indicate a "Shout" notation. I've seen it notated as a note in the middle of the staff that looks like an x with stems up and down from the note. How to I select this in Print Music?

Like this? It's possible in Finale but I don't know about PrintMusic.

No, it’s not possible in PM as easily as in Finale. So I used to do it with 3 separate expressions.

Here’s a tutorial I wrote up, many years ago.
