I wonder if this is a regression in MuseScore 4.5.2? Is that the version you are using?

Your score uses the MS Basic sounds, and sure enough the pizz. and arco elements from the Text palette do not work. And these Text elements certainly should work with MS Basic sounds.

If you open the Mixer to change the Sound to a matching MuseSound, then everything works:
- Sound > MuseSounds > Muse Strings > Violoncello (Solo)
- Sound > MuseSounds > Muse Strings > Viola (Solo)

Refer to m.87 onwards in the attached score.

Sorry, that was an incorrect assumption.
This problem has been debated before (over a year ago), but I had forgotten... So here is a link to the explanation provided in Feb 2024 by @bobjp:
