Tied notes have wrong note duration
You can try this in Musescore 4. Simply add a full note, then add 2 tied half notes.
The tied notes on the second chord do not have the same note length. Can be seen on midi when exported
I'm not going to question why the notes aren't even held for the full duration they should be held for a start. But what the hell is this difference when I can clearly see they should end at the same time. Is this normal behaviour or one of Musescore's many pathetic oversights. Is there a way to fix this?

And now best of all I have to fix stupid situations like this for every single note thats tied.
Tied notes look the same. The untied note is different.
Maybe Musescore 4.3 beta has a fix for it

And if not, report it on GitHub

Why would they be played with different lengths though, I don't understand why this was done

I guess this is what Musescore does:
It inserts silence between untied notes and does not do so between tied notes, so tied notes start earlier and end earlier. And the untied note starts as usual and ends as usual - later than the others.
I do not know why it is so. There may be a reason for this.

It would make sense, because no silence between notes would make the slur notation just for visuals, but that's just plain odd why it doesn't calculate note length by adding up the note length values of the tied notes

Thanks for https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/22582
I moved the part of the image containing the second chord and the notes (with the exception of the one that is written shorter than the others) look to have the same duration.
