Describe the bug

When entering lyrics then using a non-english keyboard, e.g. Estonian, the hyphen is not recognized. This works fine with English.

This works fine with MS3.

To Reproduce

  1. Switch keyboard language to Estonian
  2. Start entering lyrics
  3. Try to type "ex-ample"
  4. - is ignored

Also, changing the shortcut in preferences doesn't seem to have an effect.

Platform information

  • OS: macOS and Windows both
  • MS: 4.0.1-230121751, revision: github-musescore-musescore-9b70a8c

Here's a workaround:

  1. find C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\MuseScore\MuseScore4\shortcuts.xml
  2. open it with some text editor, say Notepad++
  3. find <key>next-syllable</key>
  4. below this, either add new line <seq>Num+-</seq> or replace <seq>-</seq> with this.

Regular hyphen key will work as well :)

Regular hyphen key didn't work as expected with non-english keyboard when writing lyrics. With Num+- added, the regular - key works as well. See musescore#16314

Regular hyphen key didn't work as expected with non-english keyboard when writing lyrics (jump to the next syllable never happened). With Num+- added, the regular - key works as well. See musescore#16314

The workaround doesn't work for me ):

Changed the shortcut but it's still not recognized. Also setting it to anything else, like F5, doesn't help.

This basically makes me have to install a us or some other keyboard just to use MS.

For those looking, shortcuts config file location for mac is ~/Library/Application Support/MuseScore/MuseScore4/shortcuts.xml

I'm on mac and running MS 4.0.2

Restarting the computer did not fix the issue. Solved short term by adding a Finnish keyboard and switching to that while writing lyrics. Rather annoying.

One more thing I discovered with the Estonian keyboard: whole note duration can not be selected with the default 7 shortcut. Just nothing happens when pressed much like with the hyphen key.

Truly frustrating having to change keyboard layout (from Icelandic to English) to use hyphens while writing lyrics.
