Contrabass Pizzicato will not change back to Arco
I got the contrabass to switch to Pizzicato midway through the piece and that works fine, but it won't change back to Arco even though I followed the exact same process that worked for Pizzicato. I'm running MuseScore 3.5 on a MacBook Pro running macOS High Sierra.

Strange. If I remove the arco and add it back (from the text palette) it works though

Thanks for the workaround. It's still puzzling though. Why did the text palette succeed where the manual process failed? Is this a bug?

There is and you described it. If you add several changes between arco and pizz. from the palette these are ignored until you either play the score or open any staff text properties and click OK. It's only mildly annoying and I haven't bothered reporting it.

Does this mean that you added the arco as staff text expecting MuseScore to automatically change the playback to arco? If so, you need to right click the text, choose Staff Text Properties... and select the proper voice number (usually 1) for the playing style (arco in this case). The text in the palette has the already set up.

It looks like having been setup properly, yet didn't work, check the score that was provided

I did. It looks like he typed arco in staff text expecting MuseScore to know what he wanted. That would be doing it manually.

It had Voice 1 selected though, and set to Arco
No, indeed, it wasn't. And setting it didn't work intermediately, that tripped me off
