I like adding chord text symbols to many of my scores. Hitting the space bar, after adding such a text score, will advance to the next note. In MuseScore 3 I can hit the TAB key on my Mac and advance to the next measure to add a text chord at the beginning of that measure. I cannot figure out why it won't work with MuseScore 4...or is it not there...is it moved? How can I get that function to work again? Thanks for your assistance and Happy New Year!

It is Shift+Left/Right now

Shift left/right arrow isn't doing anything for me. I've tried every combination of modifier keys but the only thing I can get to work is to just keep pressing (or hold) ";"
Has anyone else encountered this? I primarily make chord charts for gigs and this has been a real time sucker. Loving Musescore otherwise but I just can't figure out how to work around this one thing?
Ctrl, not Shift, sorry
Ctrl +Left/Right doesn't do anything for me. Only key combination that I've found does anything is ";" - and sometimes I have to restart the app for that to work. OS 12.6

Well that's frustrating. Why would it be changed from a more convenient shortcut to a less convenient one?
for good reasons, better and more concistent accessibility for visually impaired users

Just to be clear - I am using Windows 10 version 4 and I cannot figure out the keyboard shortcut to jump to the next bar so I can add chord symbols. You can't even esc and use the arrow key. Please advize

How to navigate to the next chord : Left or right Arrows (with/without CTRL or Alt or Shift) DON'T work.
MuseScore 4 on MACOS (Ventura13) ???
Known issue that for some users these shortcuts don't work
I have the same problem. Makes no sense. Will go back to using version 3.

CMD- Left/Right Arrow — is working for me.
Also it is nice they've got SH-SPACE for backtracking note by note.
Also I like that, if you are backtracking, when you hit the previous chord, you go into edit mode for that chord. Nice!
