Elements like rehearsal markings warping over the score

• Mar 24, 2025 - 11:26

OS: macOS 15.3, Arch.: arm64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.5.1-250800846, revision: 603eca8

Whenever I try to move system text or rehearsal markings by a little bit, it jumps all the way to the top of the page. It seems like every little movement is being changed into big moves. Same with left and right, etc.
I have a video but the forum won't let me upload.

Ok, I had missed the fact that it had been removed three days ago from the 4.5.1 project.

In the meantime, as Marc points out, there are ways around it. I quote him:

To disable the reanchoring while dragging:

  • You can hold Alt (you need to press that before clicking the text, though)
  • Or use Shift to constrain to vertical adjustment only.
  • Or simply use cursor keys rather than dragging to adjust

For my part, after testing various ways around, I think the best and most coherent for me, because it works in all directions, is to do:
- Use cursers keys (Left/Right and Up/Down) than dragging
- The same but by holding Ctrl/Cmd key while using cursers keys (it's just a little faster, but less precise...)
In order: Select system texte / Hold Ctrl/Cmd / Curser key

Possible too to combine the two... 😆
