Trill playback plays all notes (instead of just trilled note)

• Nov 8, 2018 - 17:37

I know playback isn't a priority necessarily, but I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong when I add a trill to a note with other notes at the same time. In the attached example there is a b major chord in the right hand with a trill on the top-most note. However, playback will play the entire chord as a trill, essentially back and forth between a b major and c major chord.

I added the trill by selecting the top note and double clicking the trill in the palette. I searched the forums and can't find anything about this, so I was wondering if it's a known issue or something I did incorrectly.

Thanks!

In your example you got half way to proper playback. You put the B-natural in another voice, but you kept the trill on the chord. You need to delete the trill, select only the B-natural and enter the trill again.

I think I see the issue - if you select the proper note and use the Trill from the articulation palette, it works properly, however I'm trying to use the Trill from the "Lines" master palette because I require the jagged line after it as well. This doesn't seem to be able to be set to a specific voice. Seems like a bug to me, as one method works but the other doesn't.

You are correct about trills lines always being applied to voice 1. I didn't pay attention to the status bar when I deleted your trill, it looked like the one from You can make it look like a trill line and disable playback in the inspector then use the trill from articulations and make it invisible. It's quite the work around but it'll work.

FWIW, the use of the line is considered optional, so I wouldn't assume you "need" it. but if you do want it, another option is to add the articulation than just add a wavy line as a symbol (press "Z" for that palette), or from the Lines palette but disable playback. Or add both trills, mark the articulation one invisible, the line one non-playing.
