Description
Issue type
Engraving bug (incorrect score rendering)
Description with steps to reproduce
Open the attach score, created in 3.6.2
brackets.zip
It looks looks this in 3.6.2 and up to 4.5.2:
Some lines (those in measure 2 and 6) have been manually moved further down via Inspector (and their y-offset), so they don't collide with the staff lines (in 3.6.2 and up to 4.5.2).
It looks like this in 4.6.1 (don't have a 4.6.0 PortableApp to test with) and later (4.7.4, as well as with current 4.7 and main branch):
Notice the difference in measure 4. Also notice that the manual applied y-offsets are gone (and not needed, so that's OK)
Supporting files, videos and screenshots
see above
In which versions of MuseScore Studio is this issue present?
4.6.1 and later (can't test with 4.6.0). all versions up to 4.5.2 work
Regression
Yes, this used to work in a previous version of MuseScore 4.x (namely 4.5.2 and before)
Operating system
Windows 11, but that hardly matters
Additional context
Relates to #34164, in so far that it too most probably got introduced by be7505a (and with 4.6.0)
