Score in G sometimes plays in F (readers, test your own scores for this)

• Jun 18, 2025 - 00:17

I have a piece written in the key of G using Musescore, and it usually plays correctly. However, one day I noticed that the actual sounds were in the key of F (because I was composing with the aid of a guitar, tuned with a tuner device). I restarted the program and it again played in G.

Yet it keeps happening now and then, and I can't predict when restarting will fix it and when it will not. I do not need absolute pitch while composing this piece, but I sure will need it when creating the MP3 file to market my composition.

Is this a bug?

Yes. If Musescore is doing this, it just might be a bug in Musescore and the question properly also should be posted here. In that case, users can be warned and the programmers would be alerted if many others report that this is happening. They might not ever notice unless they test it as suggested in my title here.
