Note input issue: Half notes are written as quarter notes but played back as half notes

Hi! I really hope someone’s able to help me out

Suddenly Dorico acts weird. When I try to input a half note instead a quarter note is written. Though it still plays back a half note duration!
Just made a screen recording of the issue but can’t upload here or add a link to it.

I tried to update from 6 to 6.1 but it didn’t help. Also tried to free up space on my computer that sometimes help with glitches.

All best Marie

Welcome to the forum, @Mlsb1!

Does this happen in all projects, or just this one? Does it happen in existing projects, or just new ones?

In Dorico 5 it happens in one existing project only and not in new projects
In Dorico 6 it happens in some existing projects but not all and it happens in all new projects

Could you attach a project with that problem?

Could you have been experimenting with custom notehead sets?
