Notes are not showing right on staff
Hi. I'm editing an old guitar pro staff from a Camel song that I played years ago, and musescore keeps crashing, and the notes are not showing right on staff. I'm trying to correct a G# to an Ab because most tabs have no key, but when I click A, it shows an F and if I scroll with the arrow keys it keeps going up and down, not in order. It sounds right in playback, but sometimes crashes if I keep trying to edit it. Sorry for the photo I'm doing this from phone

This is supposed to be a D flat... it's really messed up

Look at the stems, this pretty clearly indicates that you moved the heads down, but not the pitch, in both cases

I'd have had to moved every note in every instance, and only sharps and flats are showing up like this. Even if I did, how do I reverse it? Reset to default?
It's impossible to say much from just a picture, but if you attach the actual score and give precise steps to reproduce the problem, we can understand and assist better. As it is, I'm guessing you have accidentally placed the notehead in edit mode and are now adjusting its visual appearance rather than its pitch. If so, press Esc to leave that mode, and Ctrl+R to reset the note head.
BTW, hard to say also from just this small amount of context, but it sure seems G# is more likely to be correct.

Here it goes then, the two files imported from guitar pro, which have the same strange bug

Can you be more specific about which note you are having trouble with? At first glance I don't notice any obvious problems with notes not being the right pitch. There are indeed some odd spelling choices, such as explicit flats on notes that are already flat due to the key signature, and in this case since the key is C minor, Ab is obviously the right choice over G#. Are you saying this happened all by itself upon import from Guitar Pro? If so, please attach that version of the file as well so we can understand if it was that way in Guitar Pro or if the error happened on import.

I guess I must have made a mistake, correcting the sharps to flats was shpposed to be easy but this bug is messing with me. Note that everything was sharp before I corrected it to the key of c minor, thats how guitar pro notes occuring accidents, it seldom adds flats, but I still have the recurring bug as shown in the photos I took. I try for example, typing A, and it shows as an F, sounds like an Ab, then I try to put it in the first space by pressing N, and it shows that weird F again. I had to keep doing it over and over until it worked, and no idea why it worked, because if I try to do it on another measure it happens again, so I'm copying and pasting the notes.

If I can be specific Marc, every note I try to rewrite becomes some Frankenstein, like the pictures I posted earlier, and at times musescore 3 simply crashes altogether
Here are the gp files

The pictures you showed earlier showed you had had manually adjusted the position of the notehead. Not sure why or how you did that. but if your goal was to change the pitch of the note, don't do whatever it is you did. Simply click the note then use the up/down cursor keys to change pitch.
If you continue to have problems changing the pitch of notes, please tell us one specific note you are trying to change the pitch of, and what goes wrong if you simply click it and press the up/down arrow keys.
To change the spelling of a note from sharp to flat, though, you don't need to change the pitch at all - simply press "J". A quick-and-dirty way to change a lot at once would be to select a range, then press Up followed by down, which changes the pitch up then back but spelled with flats.
Also note that tons of bugs in MuseScore 3 are fixed in MuseScore 4, and the Guitar Pro import in particular is considerably improved. But, of course, like any new version, there are also new bugs.

I got this whether I manually input the noyes or by keyboard. I'd love to update to Ms 4 but musehub keeps crashing on my pc

Then please give precise steps to reproduce the problem. As I said, for me, all seems totally fine. Tell us which of the files to load, then step by step, what you are doing, what you expect to see happen, and what happens instead.

Also, when you say Muse Hub is crashing, what specific error message does it produce? note also you don't need Msue Hub to install MuseScore 4 - only to install Muse Sounds.
