Bug with how seconds look with multiple voices (solved)
I want the second chord to look just like the first one, with the high a (bass clef) being in line with the high e, and the g being offset a bit, to indicate that it should be played as the last note, or that it is where the phrase continues, so it being the last note played in effect (so pretty much the same as the first chord like i said...)
The problem is, the offset from the g is apparently making Musescore pretty confused, and when you look at the second picture it becomes apparent why, because the normal voicing without the offset looks perfectly normal there, but it doesnt consider the cord offset, which is the cause for how weird it looks in the first picture... It makes perfect sense when you think about it, but in this case i obviously dont want it that way (notice also that the third in the cord before works prefectly, because it doesnt have to be offset by a note so the two notes dont get smushed, so to say)... Does anyone have a solution, workaround, or is that just a bug that exists and i have to somehow renotate it?
Help appreciated!
Edit: I played around a little and you can move the note head back to normal with Notehead offset in Properties. Still a little annoying that Musescore doesnt automatically place the Notehead where it should be...

Is it one of your compositions or an extract from a published score (for guitar, perhaps?)
If the latter, can you attach an image or a pdf?
EDIT: At first glance, it seems illogical to place the top voice in either Voice 3 or Voice 4, forcing you to flip notes and stems of this voice.

Its Bachs chaconne im arranging for Double bass (since there are still no good editions for double bass, that dont use crazy tunings or are pretty impossible to play at least - well, there is one that somewhat works, but it is so increadibly difficult, that you cant really focus on the music, but only on technical difficulties, and thats not really the point of the Chaconne, is it?
But i found a way to change the note back to normal with the notehead offset in properties, i updated the post now... Well, maybe i shouldnt always jump straight to the forums for help but actually solve the problem myself - whatever...
Yeah, but thanks for trying to help!
Why is that note flipped to the other side of the stem?

Thats what i was trying to solve, since musescore automatically flips that note as described in the post - probably because it just makes sense without the chord offset, but with it those two notes become smushed, which i was trying to get back to normal... But i found a way to change it, i updated the post now... Still a little annoying, that musescore doesnt realize that automatically, and you have to search around to undo it.... But hey, thanks for trying to help! (also, i see you on pretty much every second post on the forums, how do you do that???)
