Chord editing: Undo doesn't work properly

• Mar 19, 2025 - 03:46

If you edit a chord and then use Cmd/Ctrl-Z to undo, it doesn’t actually work. The previous (undone) chord will keep sounding while a different one is shown in the notation.

I thought this was a 4.2 issue and would be fixed in the next release (since it's really weird), but I just got the 4.5 update, and it’s still there. I went on GitHub to see if anyone else had reported it, and it turns out that https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/14604 has been open for a couple of years. I wonder if it's going to be fixed any time soon?

Also, I'm quite surprised there aren't more reports. Do MuseScore users not tend to undo things?

I use it quite frequently. It worked (for me!) in 4.2 and works today in 4.4.4.

I wonder how come, it's 100% reproducible for me, happens every time:

Cmd–K, enter a chord, say, "Am", click outside -> now it's gonna play "Am"
Double-click the chord, change it to "Fm", click outside -> now it's gonna play "Fm"
Press Cmd-Z; now the chord is shown as "Am", but MuseScore keeps playing "Fm" instead

:-O

Indeed it does. Sometimes I even get the right chord playing when I click on the chord symbol, but the wrong chord playing when I hit Play.

You should probably report this on Github. Unless you can find it already there.
