Musescore not playing legato notesm + Dynamics not working ?

• Mar 18, 2016 - 18:37

Hey all, I was wondering if it is possible to get atleast "hearable" legato out of musescore's midi sounds.
So far legato or slurs sound almost detached, there is no smoothness whatsoever.

Also, the dynamics are completely off. At marks where I put SF it will play very soft, and at random notes it will play it very loud. Weird ?

* It sounds better in the webplayer then in my own software, lol ? *

If it sounds different online, then probably you are using some soundfont other than the defualt, and that's where the problem is. What soundfont do you see listed in View / Synthesizer? But note, MuseScore uses the same playback sounds for notes whetehr slurred or not, so you can't expect it to sound different in the computer playback. There is a slight adjustment to the note length, but the attack is the same.

As for dynamics, "sf" does not have playback associated with it because by definition it applies to only a single note, whereas "regular" dynamics apply from that point forward. To get the note you applied "sf" to play abck louder, use the velocity settings in the Inspector.

As for random notes playing louder, probably they have already been modified with the Inspector. Feel free to attach a specific score that demonstrates this if you think you are seeing it somewhere that hasn't been manually adjusted in the Inspector (or perhaps was input that way via MIDI).
