Chords not playing
I added guitar chords for this piece and they do not play back with the melody. How do I get that to work? Thanks for all the help on the previous thread ... I am slowly getting the hang of this. V

If it's a piece you created yourself in the current version of MuseScore (3.6.2), it should work, and if it doesn't, we'd need you to attach the score in order to understand and assist.
If it's a score originally created more with a version of MuseScore from two years ago or more, that feature didn't exist then, so you'd have to explicitly enable it. Use the Inspector to make one chord symbol play, then press the "set as style" button ("S" icon) to make that the default for the score.

It is the current version. It is a simple piece (in the works). I wanted to try out some chords but not hearing them play.

They play for me,. But I think I know why they (temporarily) weren't for you - a known bug involving adding fret diagrams specifically. See #310827: Chord/fretboard diagrams don't play back under certain conditions for details. This glitch fixes itself upon reloading the score, or indeed, upon any edit that triggers the playback info to be regenerated, such as adding one chord somewhere that isn't attached to a fret diagram. Which you can then immediately delete.

Sticky fingers? ;-)
If they use paper, playback is not an issue...

Well, they use "electronic" paper :)
