Bug with saving tremolo
I want to have tremolos in the old fashioned style (see attached screenshot). Have problems saving them.
Steps:
- crotchets d g d g (A on screenshot)
- tremolos added (B on screenshot)
- chosen "all strokes attached to stems" in inspector (C on screenshot)
- save file
- exit Musescore
- start up Musescore
- Open the file
- Result: the presentation has reverted back to B.
Works like that every time for me.

Add on: I forgot to mention that this is Musescore 3.5 on an Apple Mcbook air with McOS Catalina 10.15.6

If you attach your actual score rather than just a picture, we can investigate. A couple of people have mentioned an issue with this but so far no completely reproducible steps have been posted. It works for me when I try it with a simple test score.

Here it is. It is not finished; the tremolos are for example in measure 29 ff.

I made the change in the Inspector, saved, closed MuseScore, started and reloaded, and it worked fine, the score is attached.
Since a few people have seen it, I don't doubt it can happen. But there must be something more to it, some extra step of steps or something very specific about how the setting it made that causes the problem.

Thank you! I opened your file and the tremolos were as I like them except for one in the cello (M. 31) which you apparently forgot to fix. I decided to use this for one more test: I corrected the measure, saved, closed Musescore, reopened and my correction was reversed while your correction survived the save/close/reopen sequence. I am attaching this score below just in case that tells you something. I also fixed M. 31, then saved and exported a Pdf. It shows the measure fixed (not sure that says anything either).
Since the file is far from finished (there are four movements!) this is not urgent at this point.

Indeed, I didn't notice that one.
So, I think I am seeing something strange. I tried fixing measure 32, and it worked - but then 29-30 were broken again. So I fixed those and saved, and it worked - but then 32 was broken again.
I can confirm looking at the file itself the issue is it not being written correctly. Somehow I guess the property that says whether the stroke follows the score style or not is not being recorded or honored correctly. We should be able to look into it from here, thanks!

See #310603: Tremolo customizations lost on second save/reload. Customizations to these properties survive one save/reload, but not two :-)

Thank you!
For now I also know I can export Pdfs in the style I prefer. I'll have to set the style throughout the score, then export and print and I'll have the printouts as desired. A bit slow but I can live with that.

Oh, one other thing, and a workaround that in many cases is better anyhow: if you want all such tremolos displayed this way, just use “Set as style” (the “S” icon). The problem only affects tremolos that are different from the style setting, so the bug won’t appear, and plus it saves you from having to set them one by one.

Thanks so much; this is exactly what I'd like. My problem is all solved.

It has been a while but I am now sure that setting the style does not work. My tremolos still revert to default. Maybe it has to do with the fact that tremolos of a quarter note can only appear in the default style.
At any rate, I am accepting the default presentation for this score; there is no rush on my account.

I thought this was planned for 3.6 but I don't see it in the alpha.
