Feature request: Microtones in Musescore 4
I want to be able to tune individual notes some cents up or down. In Musescore 3 this was easy. In Musescore 4 this is not possible or quite complicated (it depends on which article in the forum you look at). I could not even find a place to set an amount of cents for an individual note in Musescore 4.5.2 .
So this is a feature request.
Or simply the question: where in the UI of Musescore 4 can I tune individual notes some cents up or down?

EDIT of the original post in the forum: I found the place to set the number of cents for detuning in properties>general>playback>tuning (I did not find it before because "playback" looked so much like a simple "play the note now"-button). But this leaves the question, if this feature now works completely or only under certain circumstances (like it is described in some articles in the forum)

Which circumstances? Which articles? You can set the tuning for each note of your score. I am not aware of anything else.

This article is about detuning the general a=440 Hz to a different frequency and also about detuning single notes: https://musescore.org/en/node/338708
This article is about detuning single notes: https://musescore.org/en/node/353140
Both articles mention problems like for example:
- detuning in Cents works with special soundfonts only
- the effect of detuning is rounded to the nearest 100 Cents
- detuning in Cents is not possible at all
Unfortunately I came across these two articles first. I think they should be marked as resolved (at least the second one and partially the first one) and there should be comments that point to a possible solution with the current and future versions of musescore 4.
