Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
I came across a very strange understanding of the MuseScore Studio program of what the checkbox next to cue size should affect.
- Enter the notes of the first voice
- Add lyrics to the entered notes
- Select the notes of the 1st voice and make them cue size.
Expected behavior
The cue size should have been both the notes and the lyrics. But surprisingly, even though when clicking on the lyrics in the properties there is a check mark opposite the cue size, the lyrics themselves are not really cue size, and the presence of a check mark means the cue size not of the lyrics themselves, but of the notes to which this lyric is added. In my opinion, this is strange and wrong.
It was expected that after the selection, the lyrics would become cue size after adding a check mark next to cue size in the properties (but this check mark was already there).
