note names
for the next updare it would be nice if you could do something to separate the notenames from other bits and pieces. It is an improvement that they are beside the chords, not all on top piling up, but I have to drag them apart each one.

Are you talking about a plugin, perhaps? I don't think msot notenames are designed for complex music like this, more for children's books. But, consider using the built-in note naming instead (right-click staff, Staff Properties, Advanced Style Properties, Notehead scheme).

they provide a quick impression of scalar relations of harmonay and melody, stable, unstable , tone tendencies etc (perricone). If I were a highly professional like yourself I probably had a better method.

Notehead scheme is the better solution for this, almost rendering that plugin useless. But yes, it uses fixed offsets and does not benefit from autoplace or placement above/below, where maybe it could or should

Interesting. How would I use the notehead scheme for scalar relations ?

? With that notehead scheme you'd just have the notenames inside the note heads.
Then there's Chord symbols and now also Roman Numeral Analysis

I don't want to sound "elitist", but I think that learning to read music is an absolute necessity and bridge that must be crossed when learning to read music, as it were. The whole reason staves and notes were devised was to show the vertical and horizontal relationships between tones graphically; note-names do this measurably less well. If you don't have training wheels on a bicycle, you might fall off while learning. You will not break any bones trying to read music the way it is intended to be read. Just my $.02.

My sentiment is that perhaps note names are necessary for what the OP calls "scalar relations".

To me, the deep connection between the staff and the notion of diatonic scale does that for you by design, but, the OP should speak in to this ...

I do agree...
Music notation, though it may appear as blobs of ink (ala Jackson Pollock), does carry recognizable shape and meaning. Any competent guitar player should instantly recognize something like this:
It's definitely very grapical (and very visual). Also additional info. about relationships between tones is deductible.
Slightly off topic..
Someone (known to MuseScore) has designed art based on this graphical nature of music notation:

to enlighten you regarding "scalar relations"I refer to "great songwriting techniques" Jack Perricone or "Jazz Piano" Ray Santisi, both Berklee. Or. Rameau, Tchaikovsky. If yo u can't or don't want to reply to a question how about remainig quiet ? Rather superflous. OP

It sounded like you were recommending it as a learning aid; sorry if
I misunderstood. Exactly what value do you find in them? I don't see how they "make relations clearer" for one who can read the music on his or her instrument or abstractly.

to clarify things. When I play my instrument the little dot tells ma where to put my finger, without thinking of notenames, just intuitively, When I analyse I think of the circle of fifths or fourths and many parameters applying, in notenames, what else. When I write I combine both, intuition and analysis, put the little dot where my logical thinking, or intellect, is telling me., or what I played on my instrument, without thinking of notenames. That is my way and I do not care what or how anyone thinks about that. And when I ask a straight forward question about a feature which has been changed with a setup I expect a simple straight forward answer and not a questioning of my abilities or nonabilities. It is of no concern to anybody.

And just to clarify: the notenames plugin has not been changed so it causes those collisions, what might have changed between some 3.x versions is how those offsets get interpreted.

thank you
Which MuseScore version is that?
Anyway, the fix seems simple enough, see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/5467
