moving notes horizontally
In MuseScore 3, I could double click on a note and then use the arrow keys to move it left or right. This isn't working with MuseScore 4. Is there another way to do this?

click on the note to select it. Then in the Appearance section of the Properties tab adjust the horizontal offset.
You you shouldn't need to resport to moving notes just to merge the noteheads. Instead, just make the want you don't want to see invisible (press "V").
You could move the notes horizontally in MuseScore 3??
Why didn't I know this sooner? Now I definitely need to switch back to 3...

You can move notes horizontally in both versions, in pretty much exactly the same ways. And as mentioned, you don't need to move them in this case, you simply need to hide one. Same in both versions.

I guess I should clarify, when you're talking about moving horizontally, we're talking about: here's an 1/8th rest followed by an 1/8th note and maybe some other stuff I wish I could could move one position to the left, because somehow it all got shift to the right.
Right?
Because when you talk about making stuff invisible, it makes me think we're talking about something else...

Indeed, if you see the original post, it's about literally moving one note slightly to the left to overlap with another, not about moving it to a different point in time. Moving a note to another point in time is done via cut and paste, in all versions of MsueScore. It works great since you can specify exactly how many notes to move and exactly where to move them, all using the exact same command.

😞 ... I knew it was too good to be true. Often times the cut and paste isn't the right tool for what I need to do...

Feel free to start a new thread, attach your score, and describe what you are trying to do that cut & paste isn't working for, and someone should be able to assist.
