Problems copying from Master palette to palette [MS4]

• Jan 8, 2023 - 02:18

In MS4, the four symbols used to indicate which hand is to be used to play notes in the other stave have been removed from the Fingering palette.

If I copy them from the master palette there are two problems
1. the name is lost and just left with generic "Symbol" (Workaround: this can be re-added by editing the properties)
2. there is insufficient space to distinguish the four symbols as they all just look like vertical lines. No work-around

I am also finding that drag-copying items from the master palette doesn't work consistently, I just see a "forbidden"symbol. Ditto when trying to copy between palettes. Then I restart MS, and the copy operation is suddenly permissible.

After copying over the new elements above to the palette, Musescore crashed without saving the new entries.

Trying it again, I had the problem with the forbidden symbol as shown in the screen capture below

FWIW, I have seen a few other reports of people having trouble finding the right spot to drop, and I have seen this once or twice myself. It seems to go away if you just keep moving around. If you ever fin d precise steps to reproduce problem - like a way to describe exactly when it works and when it does, so someone can get it to fail on command reliably - please follow up with those steps so someone can try to reproduce. And then if someone can confirm, an issue can be opened on GitHub.
