Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Create this
- Select the whole bar (or just the two notes) and switch to voice 2 (Ctrl+Alt+2, or press the voice 2 button)
- Behold:
What is the latest version of MuseScore Studio where this issue is present?
4.4.1
Regression
No.
Operating system
Any
Additional context
Interestingly, doesn't seem to corrupt the file - the durations are shown wrong but you can get them back to how they should be with some fiddling on (entering/deleting notes, changing durations etc).
The 'Exchange voice...' commands in Tools > Voices seem to work fine.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in MuseScore Studio 4.4.1 by creating the pictured two-note tremolo, selecting the bar or notes, and switching to voice 2 with Ctrl+Alt+2 or the voice button. Compare the result with Tools > Voices > Exchange voice; done means moving the notes does not display incorrect durations or otherwise make the tremolo layout inconsistent.
