MS4 wrong notation (stem misalignment) of two voices in harmonic seconds when the upper voice is dotted

• Aug 15, 2024 - 20:57

MS3 got this right, MS4 gets it wrong. The stems should be aligned, meaning the upper note needs to be on the left, the lower note on the right. Yes, the dot on the upper note means that sometimes the lower voice gets pushed to the right, especially as in this example when the dot is placed in the center of the same space on which the upper note is placed. But the upper note should absolutely NOT be positioned to the right of the lower note. That notation is simply wrong. It looks horrid and makes scores from MS4 unpublishable. In the forum this same problem shows up in many other posts, but nobody seems to have reported it for the glaring notation mistake that it is. Please fix it. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply and directions. I was not aware that bugs need to be reported on GitHub. To do that one needs a GuitHub account. Please excuse my ignorance, but why then does this forum exist? It would appear that reporting a bug here is now a useless exercise, or?
