When looping a section the keys on the piano keyboard don't light up on every loop.
Hi, I'm not sure if there is a setting to change this or if this is a bug. But when you loop a section it doesn't always highlight the keys of the notes being played on every loop of the section. For instance, it will highlight the notes that are being played on the first play through and then it will play the section again and not highlight the notes in blue as they are being played, then it will start highlighting them again if you let it keep looping and then it will not highlight them again as the looping continues. Is there a way to make it so the notes are highlighted as they are played on every loop or is this a bug? Thanks.

I just tried this and it worked fine for me. Can you attach the score you are having trouble with and describe exactly how to reproduce the problem?

Which version of MuseScore are you running? On which Operating System (Windows? Mac?)
Have you tried Revert to factory settings?

I just downloaded MuseScore a couple days ago. This is literally the first piece of music I tried to play. I'm on Windows 10. Are you saying it doesn't have the issue I described when you loop a section?

Ok, you mean on Piano Keyboard (P) .
I confirm (on the third round), but I'm using 3.0.2 on the 32-bit Mint

Yes, on the piano keyboard. So, when it loops on the 3rd time, the keys on the keyboard aren't highlighted as the notes are played? It will stop highlighting the keys on the keyboard on some loops then start highlighting them again then stop again then start again etc. if I let it continue looping.

How many times did you loop a measure? I have had it work 15 straight loops before it starts messing up. But sometimes it starts messing up after 2 or 3 loops then it starts working again then stops etc.
So, is this a bug or what? Do they ever fix bugs? I'm guessing they don't, since this is CrapWare or whatever it's called. But to be fair, Microsoft doesn't fix bugs, either, so I guess we're all just waiting for this turd world to burn to the ground.

I was able to reproduce a problem with that score, so yes, seems to be a bug. And yes, many bugs do get fixed. We tend to release new updates every month or so and each may contain around 100 bug fixes. For for the record, I believe the term you are looking for is "open source". That means that the software is developed by ordinary users like yourself who also happen to have programming skills. The bugs that get fixed tend to be the ones that these users feel are most important for them to fix. It's a community effort.
So, now that the bug is confirmed to exist, the next step in getting it fixed would be for you to file this formally as a bug report to the "issue tracker" using "Help / Report a Bug" from within MuseScore. It's a bug that only affects the on-screen display during playback, so compared to crashes, scores that display incorrectly, or playback that is really off, it is relatively minor in severity, so that is how you should set that field.
Then, other if users who program find they are bothered by this enough, someone may look into fixing it.
