Weird collision behavior with rhythm slashes

• Oct 20, 2024 - 17:46

Hello,

On MU v4.4.2, I have recently tried to use the "Toggle rhythmic slash notation" tool on a score—melody on voice 1, slashes from voice 3 to be on top of staff.

However, the collision appears to not be behaving properly:
- firstly, it automatically (and unnecessarily) flips voice 1 to point up;
- secondly, the rests from voice 3 are not automatically offset with the notes-turned-slashes, as expected.

Digging around the forums, I managed to found https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pull/7952/commits which is apparently related. However, the issue was apparently fixed in a past software version.

Is this a regression, a new issue or am I misusing/having the wrong expectations regarding the "Toogle rhythmic slash notation" tool?

Attached, a test file I've created to demonstrate it.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Unless I've forgotten, I can't recall a version of Musescore where this notation would have been perfectly automatic, i.e. without the need to edit and fine-tune the position of rhythm slashes and rests. This is still the case with Version 4. That said, it's quick and easy to get a good result by right-clicking on a slash /Select / More / Same voice/ Ok, and modifying the vertical offset in Properties. The same applies to rests.
