In MuseScore 4, why does staccato not affect the length of a tied note?
The four notes all sound the same in MuseScore 3.
In MuseScore 4, the 3rd note is longer and not affected by staccatos, no matter on which of the tied notes I place it.

This isn't really a meaningful thing to write, so each person and computer program asked to play it will do something different.

Thank you, would it be more meaningful to express the rhythm with non dotted quarter or eighth notes and a rest?

Actually, your staccato dotted notes don't really make sense either. Take a quarter note and play it longer, but also play it shorter? If you care about the specific durations, best to just notate them directly, by putting the exact duration you want and filling the gaps with rests. If you are OK with people choosing for themselves how short is short, notate with quarters where possible, eighths where not, and add the staccato.

On flute, I am using staccato to indicate a short attack and/or short decay, not to change the duration of a note.
However, in the attached score, the eighth-note staccatos are so short in duration that they are ghost notes. On playback, it sounds like the note was skipped entirely. The quarter-notes, on the other hand, do not play back as staccato at all!

This score played back perfectly in MuseScore 3, where I wrote this piece, but not in MuseScore 4.
Note: The problem seems to occur mostly where you have 3 beats to a beam.
I would like to upload this score to musescore.com, but I need it to play back correctly.
