Chord symbol entry mystery
Can anyone shed light on why the chords in bar 5 of my attached score are being truncated, so that only the "7" shows of the "C7" on the first beat?
Musescore knows that the chord is C7, because it sounds that chord when replaying the score, and also offers "C7" when I try to edit the chord.
However, clicking away from chord entry yields only "7" - and similarly for beat 4 in that bar.
What am I doing wrong? I couldn't find a setting for "limit chord symbols to 1 character" anywhere... Thank you.
P.S. This score started out as an .xml file from the internet, so that may have imported some crazy formatting option. But I can't see what it might be.

This is Musescore 4 nightly
OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.0-2901277281, revision: 9cb035f
From the various MS4 announcements:
"We strongly prefer issues to be reported on GitHub until we release MS4 (this requires a GitHub account): https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues
Alternatively, you can submit any issues you find on our issue tracker: https://musescore.org/en/project/issues/musescore"

OK, thank you. Despite the various announcements, I hadn't seen that. I will start a thread on Github.
Not sure how to delete this one?

No need (and no way) to delete this. It may be useful for someone else. At least it provides another pointer to git hub for others who may have missed it in the announcement.

O.K.
There's also this:

which is found here:
https://musescore.org/en/forum
Look for "Development and Technology Preview".
Actually, it's just as well to start discussions here when the issue is possibly just a misunderstanding instead of an actual bug. Then if/when a bug is confirmed, it makes sense to report to GitHub.
Your score displays just fine for me - I see C7, not just 7. And if I double-click to edit the chord symbol, I see C7, and C7 when I complete entry.
So before reporting a bug on GtHub, let's be sure to understand better what exactly you are doing that causes a problem to appear.
Also best to attach the MusicXML file.

O.K.
So, choosing from among these MuseScore 3 forums:
https://musescore.org/en/forum
why not use the
Development and Technology Preview
which exhorts:
"Discussing the developing MuseScore and the development builds..."
Clearly, MuseScore 4 is still in development, yes?.

Indeed, that's the better place for these pre-GitHub discussions, although it doesn't actually matter much one way or another. What's important is to avoid cluttering GitHub with ordinary support questions, and then to make sure actual reproducible bug reports do make it there.

Agreed...
and when MuseScore 4 is ultimately released, that's officially when the transition confusion should begin here, as the old version fades away and is replaced by the new (major) version; and "please upgrade" becomes the advice given here when faced with posted MS3 screenshots, along with related MS3 questions.
