Can't select/modify instrument name?! Can't adjust the staves distance?! IN MUSESCORE 3

• Nov 5, 2018 - 23:12

Hi all. I donwloaded musescore 3 and I've found 2 imporant lacks and defiencies.

1) Why I can't select (to move or modify) the name of the part directly from the score, as in previous musescore versions? Can't do it using f8, clicking over and anyway. (file A)

2) Why I can't adjust and set the staves distances (the distance between staves) holding "shitf" like previous versions?

Any solution? Thanks for all.

Musescore 3 (nightly OS: Windows 7 SP 1 (6.1), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.0.0, revision: c071ad3)

I'm not the one to give you answers but I agree with you.

In the future it's better to put comments about development version in the Technology Preview forum rather than feature requests.

I suspect a reason to not have shift+drag for staff distance override is that this is no longer a fixed distance to begin with - there is now automatic staff spacing. And to be clear - the shift+drag method was not the normal way to set staff distance, it was a way to override the default for specific staves, providing a shortcut for the "Extra distance above staff" setting in Staff Properties. Not saying it couldn't be added back, but one of the main reasons for that feature no longer exists.
