Guitar Bends - Again.
Does no-one at musescore actually play guitar ?
MS3 did bends ok mostly. (Yes, pre-bend etc weren't great.
But MS4 is a mess.
Ive been teaching for some years and now finding I now cant use MS for scores as it just doesn't show scores correctly.
See attached.
MS4 insists that applying a bend must use the next note as well.
MS3 allowed a bend to be applied to a note. Then we could even adjust the shape of the bend in the properties.
Can this even be draw without trying to use the 'Grace note Pre-bend', which ironically hardly ever plays back correctly.
Is this a bug ?
What Im trying to do...
MS4 after applying a bend to the note, decides to add extra notes.

Its just a mess.
Even with that related post things have been missed.
In my example above in Bar 1 there are 3 strikes with the pick but there isn't a way to score it.
I just don't understand why a bend adds duration to a note.
To me, the two note below are not the same.

The last note shown in the first bar would be hit then bent a little after. That 1st note in the 2nd bar would be bent straight after hitting it. What I don't understand is why it then cant score a note on beat 2.

You can score a note on beat two. Make the bent note last for only one beat. E.g. two eighth notes.

Hi TheHutch,
Yes, but its a hack and isnt right.
I've put more to this other thread as that seems to have more engagement
