Tie and volta

• Apr 28, 2018 - 16:17

Open and launch the playback of this test file made from scratch: test1.mscz
After the first volta, the tied G continues to be heard in the third empty measure. Does anyone remember a bug related to this? And we get the same result with previous versions.
We remove the tie, and of course, the problem disappears.
I can not imagine that it has not been reported yet, or I missed something.

I can confirm on OS: Windows 7, Arch.: i386, MuseScore version (32-bit): 2.2.1, revision: 51b8386

Also, entering a note in the empty measure doesn't resolve the problem: you then have two notes sounding. See attached.

I guess:
When a note is tied (to another), a length information is being generated.
Even when the Volta skips, this length of information is (may be not displayed but) preserved.
If one of the notes is outside of Volta, this problem occurs.
Because tying two notes means that they are combined into a single note (equal to the total length of the two tied notes)

As you wrote:

and
...tying two notes means that they are combined into a single note (equal to the total length of the two tied notes)

OK, so...
The playback engine combines the tied G's into a single note (length information) of 6 total beats - which plays the first time.
Then, the playback engine re-uses that entire 6 beat note also for the 'silent' second ending.

Which means that the Piano Roll Editor does not truly display what is actually being sounded... :-(

Here is what I see on the piano-roll window: There is a jump to the sixth measure from the end of the fourth measure (after reprise).
And the long (six-beat) note's duration in the fourth measure isn't yet finished (while jumping).

But this isn't true for the jump at the end of the first measure (after reprise).
Because there is a half-note (two beats long) on first measure, and a whole-note (four beats long) in the second measure . (you can see it when you click each one. (see attachment) )
// If we could see an unfolded version, the jump wouldn't fool us.

I see the same as you on the piano-roll window.

In your piano-roll.png attachment, you selected the first of the of the 'two separate notes' to show a yellow contrast so it doesn't look like the 'one long note' which shows later.
You and I are both aware of the new attack for the second note:

What surprised me was that the piano roll editor, like the score itself, shows nothing sounding at the second ending. (One could not use it, then, to shorten the duration.)
Because the playback engine recycles the 'one long note' (i.e. dotted whole note), it splashes over into the second ending, with no possibility of using the editor, which normally is used for adjustments like this.

Regards.
