Changes in Strings playback style?
Hello dear community,,
Question about MuseSounds.
Did something change regarding the strings playback in the latest release?
I have some mockups I created with versions 4.1-4.2, and the strings produced a default legato playing style. The notes were typically very connected with a lot of portamento, which I overall liked very much.
In the latest version, 4.3, I'm hearing a more detached playing style, especially on the cellos. Some lines that sounded very legato in previous versions now sound very disconnected, almost "note by note."
Is there any way to revert to the previous behavior?

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I have an example of this, and it's been grating on me that I haven't been able to find anything addressing this or any way to get the old version back, which is a shame because I really love the way it used to sound but only have lower-quality exports on hand.
Included are two slight variation of the same score where the Violin 2 (Solo) seems to have changed dramatically between versions (the "overworld version" having been last saved in Musescore 4.0.2). Notably, it now plays significantly louder than it used to, and with a noticeably different style. This is especially noticeable in the first few measures of the piece. Though I know Muse Strings recently updated, the style change at least has been happening since well before that update.
