Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in MuseScore 3.6 and 4.x using Volta text containing a literal ampersand, then compare it with the documented ampersand workaround. Done means Volta text accepts and displays a literal ampersand without requiring an entity; the payload names no source file or test to inspect.
