I'd like muse score to stop at a certain playbacck position.

Hallo to all.
I've got this little problem. When i play my score in muse score lets say its 70 bars long right.
Now i hear for example there's a mistake at bar 35 beat 3.5. So now i would like to go back there. I can use the find measure function right. Only if i do it doesnt go back. When i start to edit by using note input mode the input starts at a previous measure that i was busy with. Being blind this causes a lot of frustration and i've lost a lot of time and got confused so meany a times that i have become very dispondent. Can't you please create a feature that would allow editing playback from the exact stopped position? Please? This would help people like myself who are visually challenged a lot. Kind regards. Ccorrie.

Hi, I'd like to add 7 points.

Your post is published on "Feature request" forum. I think your suggestion that the app should "allow editing playback from the exact stopped position" would prove to be really useful to users regardless of visual perception ability.
I'm not blind. I am uneducated about braille. I am fascinated that Musescore 4 attends to blind people's need and allows composing with a braille keyboard.
If I understand your post correctly. You wanted to go to a certain bar by its number. You've tried the "find measure function" but it doesn't work. I think that should not be the case unless the app has bug. I downloaded musescore 4.2.2 for windows and tried the followings just now and it worked.

Step 1 press the space key to play, and then again to pause somewhere.
Step 2 press the control key plus the F key.
Step 3 enter 32.
Step 4 press the Escape key. Pressing the Enter or Return key works the same.
Step 5 press the E key.
Result, a E note appears on the first beat of the 32 bar.

Do these steps work on your machine? If these steps do not work, can you elaborate?

Please try not feel too discouraged. Musescore studio the desktop notation editor app is a free and open-source software. You may need to adjust expectation on its reliability.
I've heard that notation editor app focus on the non-audio aspect of output. Some developers may hold a view that legato or slur symbols do not really have any issue, provided the symbols render correctly and can be read. If your production prioritize audio output quality, please try and see if D A W software suits your need better.
Musescore.org website is the community support site of the desktop editor app. As far as I know, no paid employee reads or answers questions on this site regularly, except the web server admins who rarely intervene discussions. Questions are answered by compassionate volunteers in their free time. Please try not to feel they turn a blind eye deliberately (oops). Musescore.org website is not musescore.com website.
Please try this paid third-party website. Mr. Marc Sabatella's mastering musescore

Mr. Sabatella knows musescore app inside-out. He explains things very clearly. Maybe you could request zoom meetings if happens to be in a hurry.

Re the Find measure function not working. For some reason hidden deep in the dim distant past it only works if "Pan score during playback" is enabled in the play panel. So much for discoverability! A setting that affects score navigation during editing and that you would never use during playback is placed (hidden?) on the play panel.

Hello i did all of that but no luck. So now i am trying to see if there isn't a way that i can first set a loop start and end and then go back to the start of the loop and work from there. Because no matter what i do that cursor stays stuck lets say at position 1 measure 1. It just won't budge lol. I'm gonna find a work around this i like this app and i WON'T give up until i got something on it.
Thank you for getting back to me.
