When I change a note head to DO or TI in inspector or load a score with those note heads stems do not align properly as attached images show.

I am using musescore 2.0 on linux mint 17 32 bit, and I have tried windows version of musescore 2.0 and 2.0.1 on wine (windows emulator) on the same operating system with the same results.

I did some testing and have found that changing musical fonts does not help alignment of DO and TI note heads as attached images show. They are slightly different but do not align properly .

Bravura font actual stem alignment result

As I wrote earlier I have stable versions (2.0 and 2.0.1) of musescore. Both versions give the same results.

If I have made some mistake please tell me this is the first time I have posted on a forum!

Certainly looks much better now, but esp. for Emmentaler the upstem Do's stem over shoots the head, while the downstem stem barely touches it:

Same for Gonville.

For Bravura it looks better but not perfect either:

Do the fonts need to get modified?
