Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Bug description
Pressing a key note (i.e. a key that produces a note in a staff) causes the note to be repeated endlessly.
Pressing Escape ends the repetition, but the sound keeps for a while.
Clicking on any note starts the replaying again apparently endless.
I have tried restarting the Application after deleting the folder Libraray/Application Support/MuseScore/MuseScore4 and the file Library/Preferences/org.musescore.MuseScore4.plist
It didn't change the behaviour.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new score, assign any instrument.
- In the score press any note key, e.g. "g"
- The note is repeated and replayed endlessly

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the endless note replay with MuseScore 4.2.0-233521125 on macOS 10.15, then trace note-key input and playback behavior; done means a pressed note plays once, Escape stops it, and clicking another note does not restart endless repetition.
