Jump to labelled section
Is it possible to label sections of a score, and then jump directly to those?
This would be useful both for creating scores, and also for playback to sample/test outcomes.
If not, then this would be a useful feature to include.

The Handbook has a good section on Rehearsal marks, including "Search for a rehearsal mark":

OK - thanks.
Is there a one key press which will take me to a particular point, or do I have to make shortcuts?
I'm looking for very quick and easy ways, so quickly set marks, and quickly go to marks.
I'll look at the pages you suggest - I was vaguely aware of them.
Also, they don't have to be only called "Rehearsal marks" as they could have much wider applicability.
They could be called "Labels" - for example.
Anyway, thanks very much for the quick reply.

Ctrl+F to open the search dialog
"A", Return, to take you to rehearsal mark A
"R2" to take you to rehearsal mark 2
"20" to take you to measure 20
"P5" to take you to page 5.
All descibed in the handbook...

Actually this is really rather easy.
Seems to work a treat.
Thanks.

This has worked in Version 3 but doesn't (yet) work in Version 4. I wish it did!

Then report it on GitHub as a regression

"This has worked in Version 3 but doesn't (yet) work in Version 4."
What do you mean by "This"?
In MuseScore 4.0.2 I just tried all the Find techniques described by Jojo-Schmitz in his post dated Feb 2021. The Find operations all work correctly for me in MS4. Are you using MS 4.0.2?

Indeed, it still works, so no bug.

Let me explain. I am finding that the find function (Ctrl+F) as described in this thread (Jojo-Schmitz 10 Feb 2021) doesn't work for me. I'm using V4.0.2. I'll go thru the 4 find methods described by JoJo (which did work for me in Version 3) but don't in Version 4.0.2. Below I document what happens for me in 4.0.2 - if your experience is different it would be great to know. Perhaps I have some factor in my setup that interferes with this find function. I've tested 2 scores (both created in Version 3 software).
----------What happens for me----------
Ctrl+F, then:
'"A", Return, to take you to rehearsal mark A' - this works once and in my case, the Rehearsal Mark is selected. If I attempt to do repeat the find operation, it doesn't work - playback commences from where playback stopped. If I de-select the Rehearsal Mark, the find function works, but this defies the convenience intended for this operation.
"R2" to take you to rehearsal mark 2 - playback resumes where it stopped
"20" to take you to measure 20 - the top stave of measure 20 is selected and playback starts from here. Of course the selection ensures that other instruments are not heard
"P5" to take you to page 5 - when I type "P2", even before hitting Enter, vision jumps to start of page 2, but after I hit Enter and then Play (spacebar), the score commences playback from the beginning of the score.
I'm happy to report on GitHub if you think it's warranted.

Maybe read this comment in a different thread. It's complicated...

Thanks - this helps me to understand. I hadn't understood the formal unlinking of score navigation and playback position, which is clearly necessary.

If I understand you correctly, this isn't a bug. Playback always continues where it left off unless you select something different from what you previously selected.
