Merged notes separate when adding new voice
After completing the first and second voice and merging the first note of each voice by making
the note of the second voice invisible, I added the first note of the third voice.
Having done that those first notes of the first and second voice separated again.
What can I do to merge them again?
This is the case in both the 3.2.3 version and the 2.3.2 version.
I am using PCLinuxOS KDE5 64bits and for the 3.2.3, I am using Flatpak while the 2.3.2 is
installed from the synaptic repo.

Don't do it that way then, but using the 2nd method described in https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/noteheads#change-offset-to-shared
But that is what I did and that went well but when I added the third voice they separated again.
B.t.w I was using this advise on page 106 of Marc's "Mastering MuseScore" first edition (2015).
Or perhaps I did not quite understand your comment.

Did execute both methods. Second method I am not sure I did that correctly (changing note heads) but
still the notes keep separated.
Is it possible for you to confirm this by copying my measure in your MuseScore program?
Thanks in advance.

Yes I can. Might be a bug then. Workaround: use voice 4 rather then 3

Ah, I suggest that you will put that on the "to do" list?
Did execute the workaround but although the two notes now merge but not exactly.
Then further nudging one of the two notes did not quite solve that but it is at least a solution.
Thanks for the help!
Joe.

Reading Marc's comments on my "bug" report, I experimented with the possibility to
change the stem direction although this is not applicable to a whole note.
If I enter a whole note (3rd voice) and "change" its direction by changing the stem then
I get the same result as entering another than a whole note to at least make the problem
as just noticeable as possible. Hope this helps.

Yes, even if a stem isn't visible (because it's a whole note, or because the note is marked stemless), the direction property is recorded and MuseScore responds to it normally.
