Cannot "select all"

• Apr 27, 2020 - 22:51

I am trying to select all elements of a score (Ctrl-A), but several elements are omitted from the selection: tuplets, cresc./dim., and the occasional "mf". I noticed that "mf" remains unselected only if I entered it from the lines palette as part of "mf<" (combination mf + hairpin), but oddly enough, the hairpin component is selected. I have included a snip of what I'm seeing, and you will notice that with the selection filter set for "all" and everything selected, these items remain in black. I have also included a copy of my score so you can see if the problem reproduces.

I am using the latest version of MuseScore 3 on Windows 10 Professional, 64 bit.

It's not as much those elements not being selected as the highlighter missing them visually. It seems to affect all texts in combined elements:
* Start text in a line
* tuplet text (in the bracket)
* dynamic marking when combined/paired with a hairpin

Feel free to insert this highlighting bug into the issue tracker

I don't think it's just a matter of highlighting, because when I try to "reset style" or "reset shapes and positions" these items are consistently missed and I have to do them separately in the Inspector. That's how I realized they weren't being selected.

Well, I think that's more a symptom of the same issue, that elements-within-elements don't necessarily get treated as part of what's being reset. Or, perhaps more accurately, a second related bug. Worth submitting (as one report for now) to the Issue tracker (see Support menu above, or Help / Report a Bug, from within MuseScore).
