Guitar Bends in Musescore 4
Hello there,
I recently started working on the last version of musescore 4.02 for my tabs and came accros an issue when I try to write solos. The bends in the articulation palette don't work as they should, you can add them to the score but they're not played by the software.
For instance if I put a Full bend on the 14th fret I should here the note from fret 16 (one step further), but Musescore 4 won't play this articulation and just ignore the bend.
It was not an issue in Musescore 3 which could play all kind of bends including half step, pre-bend, etc...
I hope my description is clear enough and that you can fix this issue for the next patch, can't wait to use all the new features of Musescore 4. Keep up the good work !
Best regards,
Samuel Durand

You can follow progress here:
https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/13544
which states:
"This one has been left until 4.x because the mechanism for getting them to follow the graph in the inspector needs to be completely rewritten. We just can't use the older system at all."
Hi do we have any update on this issue ?

1 year later and I still have this problem, they changed the way guitar bends work and it's now more confusing and difficult and far less customizable. In musescore 3 a bend and release was as simple as mapping out how you wanted the bend to be played in the properties tab, now it is impossible as bends cannot be edited by the properties tab other than the delay of the bend. Hope they fix this someday!

Got to be a different issue, as the one at hand here had been resolved in 4.2.x

Initially I thought MS4's bend issues might be specific to MSBasic soundfonts, but the bends in my imported MS3 guitar score don't work with Muse Guitars either.
