Please attach a score showing the problem. Also mention what language setting you are uaing (if MuseScore's language is set to 'System' please mention what the OS is set to), the latter might explain the different between B (German, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Polish, Slovak and Czech, as far as I know), where a B is spelled H and a Bb is spelled B) and Bb (English/international)

The difference between F in MuseScore and Fb in Sibelius is due to the different key signaturess you are comparing here, Gb-Major (6 flats) in MuseScore vs. Cb-Major (7 flats) in Sibelius.

So I'm pretty sure the B vs. Bb issue is down to your language setting, that much is by design.

It might be due to an error in the translation for your language. If so let me know, so we can fix that.

Please attach the score, not a picture of it.
The F, Eb, C and Db are correct, the B is a German B, should be an English Bb I guess. Maybe the Korean translation has it wrong.
And indeed Bb gets translated as B in 2 cases (and as Bb in 2 other cases), see https://www.transifex.com/musescore/musescore/translate/#ko/musescore/2…
I could change that, but would rather leave that to a native speaker.

@jenesis: if you feel qualified, feel tree to do that (if won't help for 2.0.3 anymore though, but will for the upcomming 2.1), see https://musescore.org/en/administer-guidelines/translation-instructions for details on how to go about translations. You may even translate it as "B♭" rather than 'just' "Bb"
