Playing of Legato
Two, stuck on one line, notes - the second note, like the first note, is played with an attack, i.e. the LEGATO does not work! How to solve this problem?

What dynamics are being used? See if putting an invisible quieter dynamic does the fix.

With any dynamics, Legato does not work! And it would be strange if it were different, for this, apparently, is a defect in the program!
This is especially noticeable on Plucked instruments!
Where to write to the developers so that they correct this? - In this state of the program, it is impossible to use it to create musical audio files, but only as a graphic editor of notes!

First off, are you using Muse Sounds or the preinstalled MS Basic? Has legato worked in the past for plucked instruments? Here is the sub forum dedicated to Support and Bug Reports: https://musescore.org/en/forum/6

I am using MS Basic.
"Has legato worked in the past for plucked instruments?", - I have been using the program MuseScore Studio for only about a month, before that I worked with Sibelius, where sometimes there was such a problem!

I don't think legato works with MS Basic as for being synthesized sounds, not samples. I could be wrong though.

For display on the notation at least. Have you used legato the same way in Sibelius?

I asked: what is the purpose of a sounds library if it doesn't work?
"Have you used legato the same way in Sibelius?" - Yes!

As you know, the purpose of any notation software is produce notation. Many of the staff text elements do not work yet.
Consider that in Sibelius there are different sound sets for different styles of playing. There is the normal string sound (for example). Then there is a legato sound set. As well as a vibrato-legato sound set. There is also and overall note length setting. And in several instruments, if you slur across several notes, the phrasing works. None of which MU4 has.

I just prefer to abbreviate MuseScore as Mu or even µ ;-)
However, I found a solution to the problem: so that the notes located on the same line are played related, you need to stick them with not the key S, but the key T, on the keyboard!
In reply to However, I found a solution… by AV-BelCanto
T creates a tie which indicates that the second, same pitched note is not articulated. S creates a slur which indicates that a second same pitch note is articulated.
Ties can only be created between notes of the same pitch and are not the same thing at all as slurs.

But this is strange, - any musician knows that if the crammed notes are located on the same line, then the second note is the continuation of the first! It was enough to introduce this algorithm in the program!
Two legato options only make excess complexity and confusion!

They are not two legato options. They are completely different things. They just look the same.
A tie extends the duration of the first note by the duration of the next note. it can only be used with two notes of the same pitch.
A slur can be interpreted in many ways but usually indicates a smoother transition between slurred notes than between un-slurred notes. A slur connecting two notes of the same pitch generally means that the second note is articulated but not as strongly as without a slur. Such a usage of slurs is not very common and can be ambiguous. But a player can usually distinguish between tied notes and slurred notes of the same pitch by the context. Muesescore can't or doesn't rely on the context in such cases and therefore, to have the appropriate playback, the appropriate symbol must used; a tie to extend the duration without re-articulation, a slur to extend it with re-articulation.
Look it up in any basic music theory book.
