When creating a 22mb line the text shows up as ""22ma." There seems to be no apparent way to change the text to 22mb and keep the font style.

Status open issues needs info

How did you get the ma in there? I only see 22.
Did you uncheck the 'Only Number' checkbox in Inspector on the Ottava?
Ah, I see, that changes to "<sym>ventiduesimaBassa</sym>" but renders as 22ma and the only difference to "<sym>ventiduesimaAlta</sym>" is that the ma is low, vs. high in the other case.

But you can set the line text to "<sym>ventiduesima</sym><i>ba</i>"

If you want the others you can still use the workaround and change the glyph to your linkings, the full SMuFL set at your disposal

More explanation: the "va" after 8 and the "ma" after 15 and 22 in Italian is to be seen similar as the "st", "nd", "rd" and "th" after numbers in English, otttava, quindicesima, ventiduesima, not for alta or bassa. So the real bug here is the "8vb". (and it most probably got triggered by the internal naming of those)
So as part of https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/4492 I propose to change the tooltips to "8ba alta", "8va bassa", 15ma alta", "15ma bassa", "22ma alta" and "22ma bassa".
Same issue for clefs, BTW.
