Hey, I just wanted to let you know, that I'm really looking forward to the guitar-improvements in MS4 🙌
I'm a guitarist and did a livestream a few weeks ago live-testing 4.0. But as I'm using it primarily for writing guitar tabulature it's unfortunately not usable for me (yet)... I'm sure you know all the issues but I just wanted to let you know what I'm wishing for (guitar & general):

GENERAL:
• Let's start with something small: There is a bug that prevents me from placing the tempo indication on the upper section of my piece of music and then editing it. Unfortunately, since the tempo is always at the top left on my sheets, this error is super annoying.

• When entering chords, you can no longer jump one bar ahead. In the previous version, you could use the TAB key to jump to the next bar when entering a chord. That doesn't work anymore and the new shortcut key that was used for this now also refused to work for me...

GUITAR:
• You cannot enter special characters in the lyrics. That's bad for me because I often use this function in guitar lessons to note down the picking direction for melodies. The only way to add an up or down arrow is to insert it from the clipboard.

• If you enter tablature in the TAB line, the note playback does not work. So you don't hear what you're typing and mistakes happen more quickly.

• The playback cannot be transposed. I really wished that you could finally transpose the playback in the new version. This is especially helpful if the piece is played with a capo and you want to practice together with MuseScore. Unfortunately that is not possible. In defense of 4.0: it wasn't before either.

• When you click on a note, the sound is very delayed. So you want to check whether the entered tone is the right one. So you just click on the sound and it will be played back. In the new version, however, significantly delayed. That's not so much fun.

• There is no guitar in Muse Sounds. It would have been nice if you could listen to the guitar with a nice sound, wouldn't it? :)

• Although you can enter bends in the sheet, they are not played back.

I really hope that these issues will be resolved in a future update. I absolutely LOVE MuseScore and have used it for years. So keep up the good work!
