## Other changes

* What used to be the [Inspector](https://musescore.org/node/278642) in MuseScore 3 is the [Properties](https://musescore.org/node/329664) tab in MuseScore 4.
* The tool to switch between [page view and continuous view](https://musescore.org/node/330537#views) is now at the bottom right of the MuseScore window.
* Same for the [Zoom control](https://musescore.org/node/330537#status-bar).
* Same for the [Concert pitch toggle](https://musescore.org/node/329716#transposing-instruments).
* To (temporarily) change the playback speed you now need to [undock the Play Panel](https://musescore.org/node/329738#play-position-and-tempo).
* The "Toggle MIDI" button now is behind the [Play Panel's](https://musescore.org/node/329738#other-commands) cog wheel.
* Fermata is now in the [Breaths & Pauses](https://musescore.org/node/329704) palette
* Hiding an instrument now mutes it by default. However, you can now hide the [individual staves of the instrument](https://musescore.org/node/329665#instrument-settings), which is more flexible.
* The [Text tool](https://musescore.org/node/278590#text-edit-mode) is now in the Text Properties, partly 'hidden' behind the **More** botton.

## Missing Features

Due to the nature of the upgrade some features previously present in MuseScore 3 have not (yet) been included. See [this page](https://musescore.org/node/334701) in the [developers' handbook](https://musescore.org/node/76) for a listing of those items.
