Muse sound problems
I've been rewriting an old medley I wrote using the muse sounds and after measure 1335 the sound cuts out. is there any way to make these sounds not cut out past this many measures or am I outta luck till it gets patched?

Forgive me for a rather cursory comment, but I'm too old to listen to and monitor 1300+ measures of music.
I started playback at m.1300, as found by Ctrl+F (Find) 1300. And immediately I was struck by the fact that m.1300 (actual per Status Bar) is shown as 1309 (counted from display at start of system). Normally I would always expect the Actual measure count (per status bar) to be identical to or greater than the Displayed count at each system start. The difference is usually explained by "Exclude from measure count" instructions.
So you could investigate that anomaly?
I let the score play through - with sound - until well beyond m.1335, whichever way you measure the actual measure count. No problem with the sound until about m.1360.
But I did notice two faults which back up your observation:
a) at one point (which I cannot reproduce) I stopped playback with the spacebar, and when playback was started again the cursor advanced but playback was silent;
b) somewhere around m.1360 the visible playback cursor "stalled" and never moved again, although the sound continued to play.
Tentative diagnosis: there is something wrong with MS4's buffering during playback.
I did listen to the whole thing, and can confirm that some of the instruments loose volume, a measure or so then come back. Of and on. Some time after 1335. The playback line did freeze and not start again until after I stopped and restarted playback.
FWIW, I changed all the sounds to MuseSounds and playback was normal. No dropouts.
Is there some reason you have hairpins concurrent with crescendo markings that also do not line up with any dynamic marks?
