OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.5.2.311459983, revision: 465e7b6

  1. Open the file called "new" (created in the latest version of MS). Inspect the mixer.
    Expected/Actual result: One mixer channel is reserved for chord symbol playback: "V-harmony"
  2. Now open the file named "old", created originally in a previous version. Inspect the mixer again.
    Expected result: One mixer channel reserved for chord symbol playback.
    Actual result: There is an extra, non-functional channel: "V-chord sym".

That 'old.mscz' has been last saved with 3.5.2, so really is 'new'.
It does have the "V-harmony" channel (actually "V-Akkordsymbole" for me, and "V-Chord syms." in English) and an additional "V-Chord Symbols" channel, I guess this file had originally been created with a pre 3.5 but post 3.4.2 version, at a time where that channel name was not translatable. It, as per score properties, got created 2020-05-10, MuseScore 3.5 though got release only 2020-08-06, whereas 3.5.2 got released 2020-02-07, 3.5 Alpha got released 2020-05-06, this supports my theory.
As such this is by design and the downside of working with nightly builds, Alpha and Beta versions...
