chord naming using control K
This happens when ever I create a score with two guitars. I name the guitar parts Guitar 1 and Guitar 2. I make sure the names are consistent in the staff properties.
The two guitars and the keyboard is made up similar to a lead sheet. sometimes they have notation specific to their part, sometimes they don't. this could be chords, notes or both.
When I try to put chord names in the keyboard part the cursor always jumps down to the Guitar 1 staff to the first chord or note and is no longer on the keyboard part. If I type the chord name it appears on the Guitar 1 staff.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
this happens to me every time and forces me to write the keyboard part chords in by hand or give the keyboardist a copy of the guitar lead sheet.

Please share the score
It sounds like your instrument set up must be strange. We'd need to see the actual .mscz file to help you.
click on a keyboard note
do a control-k
watch where the cursor goes.

This seems to be a bug related to the chord symbols being attached to fretboard diagrams. If there is a fretboard diagram on the beat where you want to put a chord, the fretboard is selected. This should be reported at https://musescore.org/en/node/add/project_issue?pid=1236.
The work around is to enter the chord symbol before the fretboard diagram. In my tests, I cut the fretboard diagram, entered a chord then pasted the fretboard diagram back. It seems to work, but the testing was limited.

Thank you! I was hoping you would find the way to simplify the score and make the instructions to reproduce concise.

thanks so much.
I will implement the work around. I never would have guessed it was the fretboard diagram doing it.
