Enough is enough LoL, i'm going back to 2018 for now:
602, 64bit AND 32bit ..

Was entering chords by selecting a new position with the mouse.
In half of the cases the former bar position where the cursor was gets erased.

Can't work that way with all the rendering time and errors I didn't notice.

Was it known before release?

Yes. I know, I know. It's pretty bad to have a release with something as basic as chord entry screwed up.

I'm sure it will get patched quickly just like that original Error box did.

Yes, I have come across this as well, but not as bad as your example, just the odd, random missing chord, but was more concerned with the 64 bit render volume issue to pay much attention.

Like you I'm a bit underwhelmed by it all.

Don't you just love the way the fan boys and apologists start to draw their wagons into a circle around this time each year.

I'll wait a little later in the month and pick it up after they've worked out some of the early release bugs. I was happy to see more acoustic guitar solo stuff on this release. That alone is worth it for me although I do about half the stuff myself anyway. I always give BiaB a go to see what direction it takes something. I may like it better than the way I approached it.

Glad someone else is also having this problem. I am getting tired of typing up error's that I am finding. At least I am not alone and can take solace that these problems will be fixed as time goes by.

I expect that this will be resolved very quickly.

It's resolved in Build 603
