can't input with keyboard
Hi,
Quite often I open musescore and can't input notes. The N button doesn't work and neither do the individual note buttons: A,B,C,D, etc. Sometimes the N button doesn't work but I can click the input function with the mouse, sometimes not at all. I have tried reverting to factory settings, updating to the latest version but the error keeps recurring. I am using a mac if its relevant.

Is that 'latest version' really the lates, 3.6.2? The automatic update of MuseScore for Mac is known to be broken, see #318327: Sparkle automatic updates for macOS disabled in 3.x (fixed post 3.6.2 and as such not in any yet available version)

Yep. As far as I can tell my version is 3.6.2
Can you post the specific score you are having trouble with? Could be something specific going on with that. Also give the precise series of steps you are following - exactly what you are clicking/pressing in what order. Or maybe you have some sort of keyboard macro function on your computer that is "stealing" keystrokes.

It's not any specific score. It occurs occasionally (not always) when I launch the program. It can happen on the blank intro score as well. It never happens suddenly. I just quit the program and restart a few times and eventually it sorts itself out.
I open the program launch a score and sometimes the "N" doesn't react/ Neither do any of the note keys: A,B,C,etc. After a few quits and launches, sometimes a reverting to factory settings everything works again. Not particular to any score

Crumbs in the keyboard?

Hmm. Well, since the problem since unique to your system, anything you can do to try to detect a pattern to when it happens would be helpful, and let u know if you ever figure out how to reproduce it!
At this point, though, I'm guessing it really is an interaction with some other program on your system stealing keystrokes.

Well if it's unique to my system that's good to know. I'll check if some other program night be interacting somehow. Not crumbs in the keyboard:) Brand new mac! Thanks for the help. I'll post if any useful info comes up.
