Description

Issue type

Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)

Description with steps to reproduce

Using - OS: macOS Sequoia (15.7.1), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.6.3-252940956, revision: github-musescore-musescore-5d3c963

  1. Create a score that contains at least 1 key signature change
  2. Open Instruments window
  3. Add new instrument to score
  4. Return to score

Score now contains the new instrument but the key signature change is in parenthesis. If this is WAI, is there a way to change a global setting so that the key signature change is applied to all instruments in a score?
