Current version of MuseScore as of 7 Feb ( re- downloaded 29 April), previously worked flawlessly for months. OSX Mohave 10.14.6.
On any new or existing score, press "n" to insert note. In attempting to insert the second note, the hanging ball of death starts spinning and the application must be force quit.
I have reinstalled the software, then removed the preference file and the Application Support files and reinstalled. Same result. I am unable to do any work.
No other system software changes have been made. Complete work stop.
Comments
Reinstalling rarely fixes issue with MuseScore
Try https://musescore.org/en/handbook/revert-factory-settings, that does a bit more than deleting preference file and the Application Support files
Apparently the reinstall worked after deleting support files. First time restarting the application did not trigger the preference rebuild. Subsequent restart caused new preferences to be created. Application works correctly now. Hopefully this information will help others in the future. I consider the issue closed.

Thank you, apparently the messages crossed at the same time. Appreciate the fast response.
