Fix the Synthesizer
The synthesizer makes everything sound bad; every note fades out according to its length, and some drums don't even make any sound. I don't see why anyone would ever use it except to see how much it ruins the song. The synthesizer should be made a lot better, and I don't see why the notes fade out like that; it sounds terrible. The synthesizer should be made better; the notes shouldn't fade out like that, and each drum should have a sound.

You may also attach a sample score here and someone will take a look.
If you suspect that something is not working as expected:
Download the latest stable version (2.0.3), if you have already done, try https://musescore.org/en/handbook/revert-factory-settings
look at: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/soundfont and check the mixer:
Welcome and...Buona musica.
I don't understand what you are talking about - some instruments like piano do "fade out" over the course of their specified duration, others like flutes sustain the entire duration, and others like drums have a short sustain thsat does not depend on the notated duration - in all cases, this should be exactly like their real life counterparts. So I am guessing something is wrong with your configuration that is causing your score to play back with different sounds than you intend. Either you are using a custom soundfont that not General MIDI compatibile, or else you are tyring to access a score that *requires* the use of some custom soundfont you do not have installed.
So please provide more information - including which soundfont you are using if you have installed a custom one, and as mentioned, please attach the specific score you are having problems with (and tell us which specific notes you think are not playing back properly).

Oh, right, I forgot to mention. I'm talking about the synthesizer on the website. On my score "Pokèmon Gold/Silver - New Bark Town (Remixed)", I noticed that if I use the synthesizer audio source instead of MuseScore audio, a certain kind of cymbal makes no sound. and all the notes are fading out.

then maybe it is better to use the 'contact us' link (lower left) on the Musescore.com page

I'm not sure what you mean by "synthesizer audio source instead of MuseScore audio". But I'm looking at the score and listening to the playback on the website and don't hear any obvious problems. It sounds just like it sounds when I load the score into MuseScore and play it there using the default soundfont. Could you give *precise* steps to reproduce whatever problem you are perceiving? Maybe you are referring to the small amount of reverb applied by default?
Note that cymbals in real life have a long decay - this is normal and correct.

@Marc: Click the : button at the top right of the score on MuseScore.com and click "Audio sources." There's the Synthesizer that's acting weird.

Interesting. I had known there were changes to the audio system on musescore.com and the ability to specific alternate sources, but I don't know what this "synthesizer" is supposed to refer to. I see now that all my own scores also provide this option. I tried searching for information on it but came up empty. What is this *syupposed* to do? Is this using the soundfont from the mobile apps?

It lets you use the in-browser mixer (available in the same menu).

@Marc The playback of the synthesizer is made possible by feeding the MIDI file of the score to midi.js, and it's using fluid for the soundfont player. The mixer is made possible via the tone.js library.

@DaKook123 please repost your bug report via the contact form at https://musescore.org/en/contact and refer to this issue. Also add which operating system you are on and which browser you have problems with. Finally, it would be great if you could add specifically which drum sounds you are missing. Thanks for your help.
