Does anyone else have a random Pizz. sign appear for no reason??

I have no idea how, but sometimes a random Pizz. will appear when I am writing orchestras, and I have absolutely no idea why?

Either you accidentally clicked the palette item, or maybe the score was imported from some other format and there were hidden pizz instructions there that MuseScore is now displaying. If you attach your score and tell us where to look, we can try to understand and assist better.

I can't!? I said it RANDOMLY pops up in my score. If I just attached a score, I could easily lie and say "There it is" even though I may or may not have placed it there. See? It makes no sense. And I'm certainly not going to screen record until it suddenly pops up possibly if at all for a while. It's a random thing that happens. I have no proof. Only Word of truth.

No one is accusing anyone of anything. Someone who knows how to analyze scores might be able to tell how the pizz was added. Or not. All you were asked were some questions about the score. Is this a score from another source? Including a PDF import? Or is it original to you? Scores from another source can indeed have hidden things that pop up at odd times. Or not. I've never had anything like this happen. But you never know. But give us a chance.
If it pops up randomly, does it also go away randomly?

I understand it can be frustrating, but I'm just trying to help. It's difficult to assist without the steps to reproduce the problem, but completely impossible without even a sample score. If you attach such a score and tell us which markings you believe on their own, we can examine and perhaps see some clues that might allow us to understand better how it happened, and perhaps allow us to suggest things to try in an effort to reproduce this.

I have never had a random pizz appear. But I don't have your fonts, probably. Or your system (what OS, BTW). We also don't have score produced by you on your system. Maybe it won't help. Maybe it will. We won't know until we try. It may not make much sense to you, but it is the usual starting point.
