Arpeggio for note held multiple measures not held in playback
I'm using MuseScore 4. I find that a note held for several measures works fine in playback, but if you add an arpeggio at the beginning, the note is only held for the first measure.

You wish for a one-note arpeggio?
Please explain more fully with an example.
I think that the OP means:
![Arpeggio_playback_across_measures.jpg]( "Arpeggio_playback_across_measures.jpg")
"If you add an arpeggio at the beginning, the CHORD is only held for the first measure"
Like this example (score attached):
What I hear as the playback cursor enters the last measure is a quite abrupt reduction in volume. It's not a total cutoff at the barline, but it is much more sudden than the natural decay I would expect to hear.
Play the example score to hear "with arpeggios" and "without arpeggios". The difference is striking.

@DanielR... Good example.
I have noticed the poor behavior of arpeggios in MS4 when compared with MS3.
Open this (your file) in MS3:
Arpeggio_playback_across_measures-MS3.mscz
(Sounds okay, yes?)
If you wish to hear something far worse, open this in MS3:
Arpeggio_strum-MS3.mscz
(Here arpeggios are present to create the playback effect of 'strumming a guitar', but made invisible.)
Then play the same file in MS4.

Yes, that's what I meant. Sorry, I'm pretty new at this and didn't give enough detail.
