Description

Describe the bug
In MS 3 I'm using the shortcut ">" as decrescendo hairpin. In MS 4 ">" can't be used as a shortcut, neither as a hairpin nor as an other shortcut.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to settings/shortcuts
  2. Set > as shortcut for decrescendo hairpin
  3. Choose a note in a score and tip >
  4. Nothing happens

Expected behavior
">" should ad a decrescendo hairpin like the shortcut "<", which ads a crescendo hairpin to the score

Platform information

  • OS: macOS 13.0.1

Research direction

Start in the Settings/Shortcuts screen and reproduce the configured > shortcut for the decrescendo hairpin, comparing it with the working < shortcut. Trace the shortcut handling from that entry point and verify that > triggers the assigned action; done means it works as a hairpin shortcut and as another configured shortcut.
