linked tab staff has errors
guitar composition with standard and linked tab staff has errors in the tab - see measure 6 - a chord using both frets 1 and 21?

You did the frets wrong. To get this you entered the chord in m6 then entered the same chord in m7. You then changed the strings used for each note in m7 only then tied the notes from m6 to m7 and the score happily said you can play it this way even though you would need a scalpel to pull it off (pun intended). If you tied the chords together then changed the string assignments, both sets of numbers would be the same.
One more thing, if you start building the chord at the top and work down, MuseScore will assign the frets like you have in measure 7. The easiest way to build chords from the top down is to assign shortcuts to the Add interval below options in preferences. You would then start with the B natural then add a 4th below, then a 3rd below then a 4th below.

thanks. I didn't change any strings - I added the tab as a linked staff to an existing standard staff - so the notes in the tab were generated by musescore.
I see now that musescore can't possibly know which fret I want the note played at and have figured out how to change them.

You did something to the frets on the dotted half notes that you didn't do on the 8th notes. MuseScore won't automatically reassign frets in the middle of a tie. The other possibility I can think of is that you used the mouse for note input and entered the 8th note chord bottom up then the dotted 1/2 note chord top down (which I explained before) then tied them together. You had to assign the frets before the notes were tied.
There are other obscure ways you could have entered the dotted half note chord top down but I don't consider them very likely.

I have manually made corrections to the score and have continued on entering.
When I add a chord as an 8th to the end of a measure and then select it and increase its duration to automatically create a tie into the next measure - musescore will SOMETIMES change the frets on the new note and I have to go back and move them - the frets on the original 8th are unchanged. So I have seen musescore reassign frets.

You will need to provide steps to reproduce this because that's not supposed to happen.

I think my problem is that somehow I had "show back-tied fret marks" turned on in the tab staff properties and changed the frets on the 8th note before expanding it into the next measure. If I change the frets after expanding - no problem. -or- If I turn off "show back-tied fret marks" (which I didn't want in the first place) the incorrect frets don't show and the piece plays correctly.
sequence:
select rest measure 2
N 60 50 40 B shiftE shiftG N
drag tab notes from 343 to 888
select 8th note chord
change to whole note

That would explain it. It's not what someone would likely want in the real world, but MuseScore allows you to do somethings that aren't realistic so you can have flexibility.
