Staccatos always have 0.10 time stretch and cannot be changed?
I want to weaken the effect of staccatos, thus making the notes with staccatos longer in playback, but I cannot adjust the time stretch and no matter what number I change it to it always return to 0.10 the next time I click on the same staccato. In Articulation and ornament properties time stretch is explained as "For fermatas, adjust the pause length", so this property is only for fermatas? Then why does it appear for many other articulations? If adjusting it won't change the note length, how can I change it?

That's all semi-relevant. You can go into the Piano Roll Editor and make the off-time be anything you want (for any particular note). There are also undocumented ways of aggressing the MSCX file to change the off-time for all staccati (or whatever other articulation) in a score.

See https://musescore.com/bsg/scores/4978661 for an explanation of the secret MSCX manipulations. There really should be UI for this, but ....

I will see it later today, but the piano roll thing already did very well.

Do you know that you can click on a note in the PRE and type SPACE and will start/stop playing the whole score at that point without leaving the PRE? This is a new feature in the MS3 PRE, and makes it possible to edit all the phrasing (in a part, at least) without leaving the PRE, once you get good at reading a score in the PRE.

Yes I just found out but I think I'll stick to the conventional way of score writing XD

I don't know if you're using a Mac, but if you are, the little piece of knowledge that "Cmd ` "
(command-backquote) selects an already-open PRE when you're in the main score makes a world of difference (it's a Mac feature but not often used). There ought to be a PRE manual/tutorial. Maybe I have to write one.

Oh, I'm in fact using Windows 10. I don't have a Mac computer around me but now that you said it I would really like to try it (if I have Mac someday)!

If you can easily select the Piano Roll Editor without closing it after you have worked in the score frame, you can ignore my last remark -- although I love the Mac (I used Windows for many, many years), behavior of MuseScore is not a reason to acquire one.
