Portamento Does Not Play

Hi, when I reported the issue I got linked back to this forum. However, when I try to do the same thing using the Musebasic sound font, I still receive no playback of it.

Same error observed here - chromatic gliss works, portamento does not

Happens to me as well

I also had this error—however, while switching to the MS Basic soundfont usually resolved it, something very strange happened with the Tenors voice/instrument: there was no pitch slide, and the first pitch never stopped playing, ultimately sounding like a harmony between the first and second note and then continuing for the rest of playback. Attached is a score which demonstrates all three scenarios.

Sorry, I didn't realize I had the power to change the Regression or Workaround flags on the issue

That sounds like an unrelated issue, best to report it separately. Or add your example to https://musescore.org/en/node/342042.

But do also see https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/12838 and https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/15268. The original issue here is already reported on GitHub via those two issues, so I'm closing this as a duplicate.

or to #342042: Falls on vocals continually sustain notes ;-)

I have noticed that portamento playback doesn't work when starting from a tied note:

Seems an entirely different issue, which you should report on GitHub

Probably same as https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/12971 though

What is the workaround for this?
Just don't use portamento?

If you need portamento for an instrument where it wasn’t sampled, use a soundfont (or possibly a VST) instead of Muse Sounds, where it can be simulated using digitally.

where could I get this?
