UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Bug description
I accidentally deleted a few rests on voice 2 while I was writing for 2 voices on the same stave, and it seens like I can’t input any more notes/rests past the ones that are not deleted in said voice.
Steps to reproduce
- Input rests on voice 1 and voice 2. (preferrably of the same length and amount, I did this with 8 8th rests in a 4/4 bar)
- Delete a few rests from 1 of the voices.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in MuseScore 4 by entering equal rests in two voices on one stave, then deleting rests from one voice. Trace the multi-voice rest and note-input behavior; done means notes and rests can still be entered past the deleted rests while the voices remain correctly aligned.
