Minor Playback Issue Involving Tied Notes In Musescore 4
I was testing out a progression, and in it I had a syncopated rhythm that required a tie. When I added the tie to the chord, only the bottom note of the chord in each staff would be played. Shown below is the progression in question, with the tied rhythm highlighted. The only way I've found to get both notes to play is to untie them to the next note. Some help with this would be appreciated, but seeing as it's not a huge issue, I'm not too worried about it.

MuseScore 4 is not released yet.
If you are using an alpha, beta, nightly, self build version, etc. of MS 4, see:
https://musescore.org/en/forum
and look for a forum titled Development and Technology Previiew
"Discussing the developing MuseScore and the development builds..."
To me, that seems more like the place to post. Most folk here are still using version 3.
If you read the announcements for MuseScore 4, the recommended place is GitHub:
"We strongly prefer issues to be reported on GitHub until we release MS4 (this requires a GitHub account): https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues
Alternatively, you can submit any issues you find on our issue tracker: https://musescore.org/en/project/issues/musescore"

See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/slurs
and:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/ties
This is from the MS3 handbook, but it explains the difference and why untying plays the next note.
Are you by chance using an older build? There was a bug like that in one of the alpha builds,. fixed months ago. be sure to be testing recent versions - ideally the nightly builds at this point, or else the beta.
