I'm not seeing a way to control playback speed in the current dev build of MuseScore 4.0. This feature is available in MuseScore 3 via the Play Panel, either using a slider or entering a percentage value.
I'm guessing this is a feature some people never use and that others use a lot. It's one that I use a lot, e.g. for playing along with MuseScore while practising.
- Has it been removed as design decision; or
- Is it just not implement yet;
-
or is it in the current development builds of MuseScore 4 but just not easy to find?

How do you undock the play panel?
Drag it on the 6 dots
Sorry, please can you be more specific. What do I drag on to which 6 dots and where is it?
The leftmost element of the play toolbar
So the Play controls disappeared on me too. Not sure but I was trying to figure out adjusting the playback tempo and I think I unchecked it in the View drop down menu. It did not go back when I checked again but the 6 dots brought up the floating panel which had the tempo feature I was looking for. The problem I have now is getting the playback controls back where they were...
Does anybody know if there is a video that addresses playback?

And then drag it back to dock it . Which took me a while to figure out
