V4 playback holds too long

• Aug 27, 2024 - 03:09

Yes, I know that MuseScore is a notation program; playback is, well, something of an add-on. But V4 changed the way this fragment plays back. The fragment below plays as it should in MS3. In MS4, it holds the note that comes out of the GP/fermata instead of just picking up the tempo indications and playing out. I don't know why. But it has done this for every update of V4 since the first. If anyone has an idea about why V4 plays this back in this manner instead of how V3 plays it back, I'd love to hear it. Thank you.

You have the breath marks set to a length of 5 seconds. Click one, then Ctrl+click the others to select then all, then go to Properties / Playback and set the Pause time to be much less. It sounded good to me at 0.5 seconds.

You also have the fermata set to 200%, but that doesn't appear to affect the delay of the breath mark. I tried it with 50%, 100%, and 200% on the fermata and the breath mark stayed the same.
