Arpeggios and fermatas
MS 4.4.4 on Windows 11. I just brought the attached score up from MS 2.1 by creating a new file and then copying the music of the old file into the new one, then editing and testing the result.
Arpeggios: the original score specifies some of the arpeggios as cross-staff--the upper hand follows the lower rather then playing simultaneously with it. (The graphic for that spans both staves rather than breaking between them.) I did not find a way to reproduce that in MS 4.
Fermatas: Only the last fermata in the piece, on the last note, held for the stretch time (200%). The others did not stretch at all. I increased their stretch in the attached score to 400% to make them actually stretch to 200%.
I don't know if the way I created the piece has any influence on these issues.

You can drag that lower arpeggio up to span both staves. It will look right but it won't playback correct. I made a few adjustments to the last two lines. Maybe not quite what you had in mind.
