## 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handbook.musescore.org/pt_br/appendix/upgrade-from-musescore-3.x.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
