Can't drag symbols over to measures in Musescore 4
Two major problems I'm having:
-
I'm a harpist and we have to add diamond symbols to indicate lever changes. In past versions I've just dragged a symbol from the palette over to the measure. This no longer works.
-
Arpeggios are too close to the notes- they overlay accidentals, and the notes are too close to the barline. Unchecking autoplace expands the staves.
I've attached a file showing both these issues.

In reply to Dragging is not a good way … by Jojo-Schmitz
Thank you for your quick reply. Dragging and dropping is the only way to insert the symbols because we have to put them in between notes (see the file I attached). The diamond symbol is a note head so if I clicked on a note, it would replace it with a diamond. This is crucial for writing lever harp music. We used to be able to put symbols anywhere but now they are only attached to notes. Is there any way to accomplish what you see in my file example (the red diamond and accidental symbols)?

It was never ever prossible to drop an element anywhere, at any arbitrary place, you always had to drop it onto an element or into a measure. And you can do the same thing with selecting and clicking

I figured it out. I forgot that in 3.6.2 I dragged symbols from the Master Palette over to the Custom Palette. As long as you use a symbol, it can be placed anywhere in the measure. If it's under a category (Notehead, Accidentals), it has to be associated with an element in the measure and it can't be moved.
The arpeggio issue might be a regression and should get reported as soch on GitHub.
But see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/14362, maybe that covers it already
