Does MuseScore 3 support "scrubbing"
I am writing choral music and long for the ability to scrub through the chords. Has this been implemented? I would be willing to donate if there is a scrubbing mode.

Not quite.
You could try using the play panel to a very low tempo and then drag the playback slider with the mouse once playback has started.

Darn, I do enough choral arranging that I may need to look elsewhere. I really need this feature. Thank you for your response.

It's a tradeoff - no doubt you'll find other software that has this but lacks other things MsueScore does. Personally, when I switched from Finale to MuseScore, I missed it for a few days then quickly got used to the many other ways of checking my work. Not that I'd turn it down if someone were to implement it, but I think you'll discover there are many alternatives to this, and many things in MsueScore you'd much rather not do without *unless the "elsewhere" means, software costing close to $1000 which would indeed do everything MuseScore does and then some).
I too would really value scrubbing during playback, for exactly the same reason, choral arranging and composition. I use scrubbing in Melodyne to check what a chord is in something I'm trying to analyse and then want to check it is playing back right by scrubbing through the same chord in MuseScore. I adore MuseScore and am grateful for everything that it is, but scrubbing playback would be immensely useful.

Yes, I absolutely agree!
I totally agree. It's really worth it! I wish I could program it myself!

Have you tried jeetee's suggested workaround of setting a very slow tempo (eg, 1 BPM) and then using the cursor keys? It's pretty brilliant!

For Windows: Jeetee's workaround reformulated in a very simple AutoHotkey macro.
Select a note. After pressing CapsLock + Q a tempo text = 1 is created.
