Suggestions for updates
As a long-term Finale user (35 years!) I've just started trying MuseScore 4.5, and found it mostly good so far,
but I've discovered 2 playback features that Finale did better which don't seem to be supported in MuseScore:
1. Rit markings don't playback without some extra fiddling around.
2. Turns won't playback properly after the note - more fiddling around needed for this
Also it's very time consuming to alter the space between stave and systems. Why can't we just select and drag up or down?
Thanks!

Interesting. I have a score that is set to 120 bpm. I added a rit and the tempo goes down to 90 bpm, without doing anything. Select the turn and open properties and you can make several adjustments. Not everyone wants turns to be played the same way as other people.
I would imagine that spacing would be one of the last things to do. And might not need much adjustment in the end.
Sorry about Finale. I know that MuseScore is adding several things from Finale.

Thanks for your reply, Bob.
Ok, I've had a bit more time to play around with MuseScore. I think the rit problem is because I was applying it to an imported mxml file from Finale. I put a rit in another place (actually in the same file) and it works fine. So there must be some hidden MIDI info in the other place that prevents it from working.
I stand by my point about the turn playback, though. There is a standard way of playing them in between dotted quarter note and an 8th note, so common in Mozart and Haydn (ie. the note before as an 8th note, 3 triplet 16th notes and an 8th note, then the following note) which really MuseScore ought to include - as Finale does.) Maybe this is in the pipeline as, apparently, trill playback speed is - according to the AI overview in Google! :)
