12/8 is 6 quarter notes. Or 4 dotted quarter notes
Oops. I meant to say 4 dotted quarter notes... MuseScore seems to treat 12/8 like 6/4, which defeats the purpose in 12/8, which is to get a 3/4 feel in a steady 4/4 beat. To write a score like that in MuseScore you would have to put triplets everywhere. That's a mess.

12/8 is a duple time and should be beamed as 4 groups of 3.
I think this is a bug.
