chord playback in TAB
I added chords to a TAB (linked staff), but they do not play. If I add them the the primary staff they do play. Is that to be expected?

Here on Mac OS 13.5.2 and MSS4.4.2: I can confirm that chords symbols in the TAB staff don't play.
I recall that the tablature staff in MuseScore 3.6 didn't emit any sound whatsoever—the linked staff playback came strictly from the linked normal staff. Maybe the behavior you experiencing is an unfortunate throwback to that point in time.
And there was a particular type of dysphonia associated with this. MS 3.6 allowed us to edit properties in the tablature staff, but those edits weren't synced to the normal staff. So they made no difference, much like the mute chord symbols.
I just checked and this issue is extant in MSS 4.4.2 ...

Thank you for confirming my experience.
Is there perchance a way to cut&paste those chords onto the primary staff?

To select all chords in MuseScore 3 or MuseScore 4:
• click the first chord and shift click the last chord.
• Copy
• Click on the note in the treble staff that's parallel to the first chord selected
• Paste
Should do the trick!
If you want remove the chords from the TAB stuff, follow the same steps but use Cut instead of Copy.

Yes.
1. Click on the first F / Shift + Click on the last one /
2. Cut & and paste on eg the G 8th note (third measure)
3. If wished, press "X" to flip these chords symbol below the standard staff.
