Pizz. and arco not working in playback
Enjoying the sound in playback and then it hits a part of the music where Violin 1 has the melody in arco while the rest of the strings accompany with pizzicato. The playback just has everybody playing pizz. The song I edited on Musescore 3. Playback was fine under 3. Musescore 4... what's going on?

In order to understand and assist, we'd need you to attach the score you are having trouble with and give steps to reproduce the problem.

Sure. This is the Overture for The Nutcracker. The pizz. and arco combo happens starting at measure 45. It happens later too. But if I can fix it at 45, I might be able to figure out the other places it happens.

I have the same problem and it's more than a year later with your question still unanswered...

@mc39785 - re 1. Overture.mscz
Try muting all the instruments except the strings. Then (at least for me), the final notes of the score are clearly pizzicato.
@HRTlover
If you attach your score (.mscz file), then someone will probably be able to offer advice.

What's happening in MU4 is that it is reading bracketed string parts like it is a grand staff. So even though you mark the lower part pizz, both parts get played pizz.
I have the same problem. I only have stringed instruments and a piano, and it will not play pizzicato notes. Even when you click on pizz. in the score and go to the Properties tab, the "Play" checkbox is not even a selectable option as it is for glissandos, accents, and even dynamics (although I think hearing pizzicato in the playback is more often more important than the former two). I think it might have something to do with the fact that when you select how you want the instrument to sound in the mixer, the pizzicato version of that instrument is a completely different option. I think it is an all-or-nothing sort of deal, which kind of sticks.

Another strange thing is that it ignores staccato during pizz, but not during arco, even though you can't choose to play pizz or arco...
