Closed all linked issues with no activity in the past year, with the exception of crashes/freezes.

I noticed #4103 is not in the list; is there a reason for that?

[Spekular]

@rdrpenguin04 good catch, fixed!

What about ?

[Rossmaxx]

update the tick marks pls.

update the tick marks pls.

@Rossmaxx as mentioned on the workflow meta issue, please don't bump the thread unless you have specific issues to be added or marked as done. Unless you're involved in actual LMMS development I would refrain from trying to manage the development process (6376, 6393).
