Figured Bass duration
Hello! Setting the duration of figured bass with CTRL+ duration indicator works for me in MuseScore 3, but in MuseScore 4 in this context the CTRL key seems to be ignored.
In V3, I can select a note with duration = 6, and with the following key strokes I can attach to it two figured bass hints, "5" followed by "6" each with duration = 5:
CTRL+G, 5, CTRL+5, 6
In V4, the same series of key strokes on the same note results in only one hint, with duration = 6, reading "55". The CTRL key is being ignored in this context.
I also tried the following:
- Copy and paste from V3 to V4 - did not work, the option is available in the right-click menu, but nothing is pasted, I suppose this is expected because so much has changed between versions. Not a concern for me.
- Opened the V3 file in V4. The existing figured bass is preserved, so V4 sees it as valid, but the same thing still happens if I try to continue. This is the file attached and the point where I tried to continue is at the bottom.

I've been informed that this has been independently reported (and maybe fixed?) as https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/15632
This is still fully broken and needs a fix! I am using the latest version!

Yes it is still broken for me too. I don't know what version it is supposed to be fixed in. Mine is 4.0.2-230651553, and no update is available. But the github thread says it was merged in December last year.

It is in the master branch and as such in the nightly builds and will be in 4.1

However there is a workaround described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Musescore/comments/13k34dm/advancing_the_figur…
which in fact works. You can redefine the keyboard shortcut to Ctrl+Alt+Right instead of Ctrl+5 and it works fine.
