Adding 'c.' to tempo markings
I like to include a 'c.' in my tempo markings, and I know I'm not alone in this. Unfortunately, adding it means that MuseScore can no longer read the written tempo, and if I want to change the tempo after it's there, I need to override the written tempo. I'm not exactly sure what the solution is, but I think it would be worth coming up with one.
Thanks for your consideration.

Works just fine

Does it work if you try to change the tempo? For example, if you change the number to 100, does MuseScore change the tempo to 100, or does it still play it at 80?

Ah, I see, no it does not change!
Please report on GitGub

This would be a totally new feature, as it has never worked (to the best of my knowledge). Is GitHub still the place to report it?

Yes
And IIRC "ca." works

There's a regular expression evaluating those strings, guess it'd need mending
Sorry. What does the c. do?

"What does the c. do?".
Currently it seems to stop Musescore recognising that the number following it is something other than 80.
To a player it indicates that the tempo indication is to be interpreted loosely. "c." is a widely used abbreviation for "circa" which (as any British public schoolboy knows) translates from Latin as "about". "ca." is another widely used abbreviation for the same thing.

That's what I thought. As I write for playback only, approximate tempo markings like this and allegro are of no use to me. For real musicians? Sure. I prefer exact metronome marks for my work. Should a real player try some of my music ( no idea why they would) they will play the tempo they want anyway.
