Bug report. Last half note does not place properly in the bar, i.e. it places on beat 2 rather than beat 3.

In m47 of viola 1 part (attached) last half note does not place properly in the bar, i.e. it places on beat 2 rather than beat 3. Repeated attempts to re-enter notes not successful.
Solution was to delete several parts (including viola 1) & copy those parts in the score simultaneously from back-up files.

This also happened in m43 viola 1 part and I fixed it there.
These anomalies just appeared in the score. I cannot identify any causal action.

Further to this matter: I just tried deleting viola 1 & viola 2 and copying them from back-up. That did not work.

What DID was the following: deleting mm.47 and 48 entirely, adding two blank measures into the score at that point & copying in the entire 6 parts from back-up. WIndows 7, Musescore 2.21.
Sorry for the fragmentary report.

The reason in m47 seems to be the (invisible) tempo changes. If you delete them, the notes are shown on the position as expected.

Thank you all for your help. I did delete all tempo changes. I trust the score & parts are connected for this, i.e. I cannot have them in for the score and not for the parts.
Another anomaly has appeared whilst working on this. Starting on m49 the slurs have gone wild! Slurs on steroids!? Is there anything I can do to ...tame them?

Thank you.

Wow! it looks like your child got a hold of your score with a crayon or something.

This is new. In earlier version we sometimes saw slurs being added on top of existing slurs, which made it difficult to see them. You seem to have experienced this problem. No one knows what causes it though. You currently have over 13,000 slurs. There is someone on the forums who may know how to fix this.

FWIW, these slurs are backwards - their "start" point is after their "end" point. You can see that by clicking one and looking at the status bar. Not sure how you entered them, but I'm guessing maybe you tried dragging the end points around? That's not a great way to do things - better to select the range you want to apply the slur to before adding the slur (which is done by pressing "S" or double-clicking the palette icon).

Or maybe something happened to the score to create this problem - anything you can remember about how those slurs got created and whether they ever looked correct would help.

I noticed the slurs were backward. The number of them reminded me of the other slur problem. One other difference is that these slurs have anchors at both ends in the mscx file unlike the other problem. I don't see how guarnerius4me could have intentionally created these slurs. It would be nice if (s)he knew what they did that might have caused it.
