Small bug: incorrect note mouse typing
Quite often, when I type notes with a mouse click, the note is placed on a line lower than its image indicated. Usually when you accidentally move the pointer a pixel or two lower (the note itself remains in place) and click the mouse button. The note is recorded on the sheet music not where it was just, but on the line below. Thank you.

As a friendly suggestion, if you can demonstrate this on a screen capture, bringing it over to github as an additional issue of the current 2.4K issues might help their developers to fix the problem more quickly than not :)
Which is why I use a trackball mouse for note input. Safer and faster. My old brain doesn't do well with all the short cuts needed for keyboard input.
To the original poster: Why not use keyboard entry rather than mouse? IMO, it's a lot faster, and less prone to the errors you mention.

I never use the mouse for note entry. MUCH slower and less accurate!!! I wish I could turn it off so I don't do it inadvertently. (If I can, please tell me how!!!)
That's all very well, gentlemen. Only the question remains open. There is a bug and it is desirable to fix it.

I apologize for the other posters. We each use the input method that works for us. There is so much more to using notation software than speed. I use MU4 for composition. The placement of every note is vital and not to be rushed. And I'm not interested in trying to remember all the shortcuts.
There may be a bug. If there is, it has only happened to me a few times in my years in the program. That's why I said I use trackball mouse. The mouse itself never moves. So there is little chance of accidental pointer movement. I'm not saying that is what is happening to you. But it is a possibility.

You're absolutely right, friend. But here the software itself puts the note lower than it indicates. I suspect that the note has already been snapped to new position, but its image has not been updated. This is a tiny but annoying bug that causes inconvenience and slows down work.

I'm using the mouse to enter notes, exclusively, and haven't noticed any problem
Have you tried enlarging the view, to where mouse placement has a little "wiggle room"?
Here I've captured an example.

Have you tried another mouse?

Yep. With another mouse and with the touchpad on my notebook the behavior is the same.

I can't reproduce it either, but attach the score from which you recorded the video: there might be a clue.

This is beginning to look like there might be a problem with mouse settings. Or a driver issue. Check in Control Panel>Mouse. Maybe click lock is turned on.
