With MDL installed, 0.2.6 XML, adding an accent (Sfortzato) to a note intended to be a buzz roll - added via the tremolo palette - the sound changes from a buzzed note to a regular 'hit' note.

Happens on snare line, tenor line and bass line.

Steps to reproduce. On any instrument above, create a hit note of any duration. Add a buzz roll to it via the trem palette. Listen.

Add an accent to the same note. Listen to compare.

Remove the accent. Listen to compare.

This is the intended behavior of the current implementation. It sounds like it's not the best. So let's see.

The current behavior is as follow, you can replace staccato with one or more of the articulations from the list here: https://musescore.org/en/node/272276#comment-835992
What behavior do we want in all these cases ?

note = tremolo + staccato

  • variant = tremolo + staccato
    • sound of the variant !!
  • variant = tremolo
    • sound of the note
  • variant = staccato
    • sound of the note
  • variant = nothing
    • sound of the note

note = tremolo

  • variant = tremolo + staccato
    • sound of the note
  • variant = tremolo
    • sound of the variant !!
  • variant = staccato
    • sound of the note
  • variant = nothing
    • sound of the note

note = staccato

  • variant = tremolo + staccato
    • sound of the note
  • variant = tremolo
    • sound of the note
  • variant = staccato
    • sound of the variant !!
  • variant = nothing
    • sound of the note

note = nothing

  • variant = tremolo + staccato
