from musescore.

• #6223 - Fix Crash Case with Empty Trailing Measure command (https://musescore.org/en/node/306807)

from musescore.

• #6224 - Fix #306821: Regression TAB and number of lines in collision avoidance of rests

from musescore.

Still not totally clear on the criteria for what is being considered, but to me these are good candidates. They are not regressions (well, not new regressions in 3.5 anyhow) but they do address some real pain points that are easily solved. And they don't involve new strings or otherwise require new documentation, they just allow things to work that people have every right to expect to work anyhow.

• #6238 - allow Ctrl+Delete from note input mode
• #6232 - Rhythm note input mode fixes and improvements
• #6207 - insert horizontal frame in front of frame using palette
• #6204 - Reimplement Shift+L/R for leading space while in edit mode upon notehead

from musescore.

The following issue needs to be resolved:

https://musescore.org/en/node/307005.

The following PR addresses it directly:

• #6247

And then also

• #6268 - changes default playback sound for chord symbols to piano

Another possible approach is #6259 which disables chord symbol playback for pre-3.5 scores, but I think the consensus is #6268 is preferable.

from musescore.

• #6243 - restore backward compatibility for collision avoidance of rests

from musescore.

• #6248 fix issues with jumps and repeats (no regression, just plain bugfixing)
  --> moved to 3.5.1 milestone

from musescore.

• #6246 - [Windows, Linux] Bold and underlined text is not displayed properly - a regression introduced by the workaround of PR #5794. This new PR simply disables the workaround for the bold+underlined case.

from musescore.

• #6249 - fix Save Online on Linux

from musescore.

• #6256 low risk MusicXML import/export improvements

from musescore.

• #6258 - Revert default zoom type to “100%”

By popular demand. Undoes the change to the default zoom type that was made in #5623.

from musescore.

• #6260 - Element dragging with modifier keys [ctrl/shift] incorrectly apply offsets of previous drags

from musescore.

• #6263

from musescore.

• #6269 - Musescore crashes when loading .mxl file containing incomplete tuplet

from musescore.

I edited a comment above to list #6268 (changes default playback sound for chord symbols to piano) as the consensus on how to handle compatibility/surprise concerns for older scores with chord symbol playback.

from musescore.

Yet unresolved issues (without PRs, as those don't make sense there):

• Updating the MuseScore General (and for the Extensions the MuseScore General HQ) soundfont.
  Solves several issues, at least these:
  • #232886: MuseScore_General.sf3: "Space Voice" panning issue.
  • #291501: use of envelope delay phase in SoundFont causes bizarre playback behavior
  • #299366: Choir sample on E3-F#3 adds octave pitch
  • #299545: Incorrect Harmonica Range
  • #305308: Marching band snare drum cymbals don't sound
  • #305333: Bug Report on A4 for Double Bass
• Translation issues, some strings (12 in total) that had been 'translated' into en_US somehow made it back to Transifex as the source strings. Got translated into various other languages, but now show untranslated as they don't refer to the real source strings. Mentioned in https://t.me/MuseScoreTranslation/5522 ff.
  • See 1954692 and 5045588

from musescore.

• #6280 - fixes recent regression where Ctrl+Delete would become disabled after right-click
• #6281 - fixes bug in "realize chord symbols" command where override of jazz/literal interpretation was ignored

from musescore.

• #6283 - Add support for the Haiku operating system

This would really help to have this added to the 3.5 release, as it would make it easier for the folks over at HaikuPorts (Haiku’s main package management repo).

from musescore.

• #6297 - make sure unchecking "continue text" box for hairpin lines survives save (fixes a 3.5 regression caused by #5747)

from musescore.

• #6267 - fix a warning reg. a no longer existing tabStop, minor but harmless
• #6296 - fix #307548: Lines palette: duplicate symbols Not a regression, but a very small and harmless fix
• #6300 - fix #307593: prevent duplicated icon on Ubuntu Not a regression, but a very small and (hopefully, review needed) harmless fix
• #6305 - CMake: Print Qt version or useful error if it's not installed (very harmless but helpful for developers)

from musescore.

• #6265 - Partially fix #294768: tremolos don't have cue size

This PR also fixes an issue of the stem length becoming a bit longer than necessary for chords with tremolo strokes and a downward stem.
It also makes one-note tremolo layout slightly better.

from musescore.

• #6314 - Make the check for the soundfont name case insensitive
• #6315 - fix #307623: Y offsets change when stave space is changed

I'd like to see this PR in 3.5RC, even if not being a 3.5 regression, but it finally seems to make continuous mode with lyrics usable again:

• #6307 - fix #276141: no space for lyrics in continuous view

from musescore.

No PR yet, but this is a serious regression that needs to be fixed:

• https://musescore.org/en/node/307721 (blank lines ignored at top of text)

from musescore.

I believe this is important for 3.5, otherwise people will employ workarounds that will break when this does get fixed:

• #6321 (corrects handling of chord symbol alignment with multiple chord symbols, use of autoplace toggle, and more(

from musescore.

No PR yet, but this is a serious regression that needs to be fixed:

• https://musescore.org/en/node/307721 (blank lines ignored at top of text)

• #6328 - fix #307721: blank lines ignored at top of text
• #6330 - Fix #307741 images attached to measures don't propagate between score and existing parts
• #6247 -fix #307005: chord playback default not consistent (is in 3.x, but not yet in 3.5rc)

from musescore.
