Musescore 4 imports musescore 3 score weirdly
I've attached a score which I created in musescore 3. Musescore 4 claims to read it. but when i try to play it it sounds nice until measure 14 where it goes crazy.

Hi Jojo. Would it help if I saved the converted file and attached that to see if it is the Mac version of the converter that's the problem?

Here is the converted file. In measure 76 and 77 there is some note still sustaining from measure 75 or maybe 74. My guess is that the trill is not being released correctly.

Confirmed, also at 61 , and ignoring the trill in 65
Here's another one which has weird problems. Measure 76 plays weird stuff. To my ear the problems sound similar.

Same as the 'converted' version above
In MU4, don't use tr. Use tr with the trill line. Then the file plays correctly.
Don't use tr on 8th and 16th notes. Use a mordent or short trill or something like that, instead.

Hmm sounds like a bug. If it is not supported, then it should not be allowed in a score. When I implemented this playback code years ago, it worked even on eighth notes.

Maybe. But with all the things that need to be fixed, it seems to me that something that could be taken care of by proper notation would be pretty far down the list. There is proper notation to use on 8th notes.
I recall a short time back that someone had a band score. Towards the end, a tuba note sounded and was held until the end of the piece. Turns out that in the middle of the score, well before the held note, there was a pizz marking in the tuba part. It didn't affect playback right away, but it did much later. The pizz mark shouldn't have been allowed, either. And for the most part it wasn't. The tuba didn't play short notes. The point is that using proper notation ( in this case removing the pizz ) fixed playback.
