Quarter note's shortcut doesn't work

• Jul 23, 2025 - 13:38

When I press the [ 5 ] key on my keyboard, nothing happens, the selected note does not become a quarter note. I tried restarting musescore but it didn’t fix the bug.
I also tried changing the shortcut: I assigned the quarter note to the [H] key and it worked, but when I switched it back to [5], the bug came back.
Am I the only one with this issue? It wasn’t happening yesterday.

Edit : The bug occurs regardless of the .mscz file.
My [5] key works fine in a text box.
I'm using macOS Sonoma 14.5 and Musescore 4.5.2.2

I certainly haven't heard of it from anyone else.

A thought: Create a System Text box and type the numbers in it. Does the 5 appear?

Provide a score (.MSCZ file) in which this issue occurs. If you don't know How To attach a file, click the link.

Please identify your computer's operating system and version, and MuseScore's version. You can get all three simultaneously by clicking on Help / About MuseScore from the main menu. Then click the copy button (two pieces of paper) next to the "Revision" number. Paste that into your post.

Can't reproduce this on my computer. Like TheHutch implied in the above message, it could be the actual 5 key not working, i.e. the physical key being broken in the keyboard. I know it's a silly advice, but please check it :)
