This issue occurs in the newly released MuseScore 4.0. Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new score using an Electric Guitar staff.
2. Ensure that MS Basic is being used in the Mixer.
3. Write a melody using syncopation with ties.
4. From the Text palette, use "Distort," "Overdrive," or "Jazz Tone" to change the sound of the instrument.
On playback, you should notice that the ties seem to be ignored when using the text, but not when using the normal Electric Guitar sound. This is especially disruptive when notes are tied across multiple bars, because there is no workaround in that case.

Frequency Once Few

I came to report the same issue and can confirm; adding distort, overdrive or jazz text will interfere with tie playback. Harmonics text works with ties as it should.

Having the same problem. Some text that changes the sound played (i.e. distortion, jazz tone, muted, etc.) ignores all ties for that instrument and articulates both notes in the tie.

Regression Yes No
Workaround No Yes

I had this problem too. To fix this, I clicked on the set of notes that were being tied and went to properties. Then in the general section, there should be a mark that says "play," and if you uncheck it, it should be fixed. I've only done this with the overdriven channel so I'm not sure if it will work with everything.
