[westurner]

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Bug description

Note names are duplicated when 'Plugins > Composing/Arranging tools > Note names' is run more than once

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable the note_names plugin
2. 'Plugins > Composing/Arranging tools > Note names' (first)
3. 'Plugins > Composing/Arranging tools > Note names' (second)

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

MuseScore Version

4.3.2

Regression

I don't know

Operating system

Fedora

Additional context

• Source of the note_names plugin:
  https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/blob/master/share/plugins/note_names/notenames.qml

Possible solutions:

• remove all text annotations that were added by note_names prior to running
• to preserve manually-modified notations, add a ui checkbox and text to indicate that all existing note_names will be erased

Aren't these note names the notes necessary for chords:

• Allow to put fretboard chord diagrams at the top of a score  #23450

No.

Other that that this is not a bug, but by design.
So you'd need a feature request rather than a bug report

In a different preparation, they could be. E.g. BespokeSynth has a "show chord intervals" feature. Is that already possible with musescore with a different plug-in? Sometimes the interval between two notes is a Harmonic. IMHO, The "display chords at the top" task overlaps with the "identify intervals between notes played simultaneously" task. Perhaps the intervals would be useful to annotate in addition to the notes and chords

No, "allow chord diagrams above score" is very certainly unrelated

[MarcSabatella]

Fret diagrams are entirely unrelated to note heads. And the usual way to add note heads to noteheads is not via a plugin, it's using the built-in feature on the Properties panel or in Staff/Part properties.
