Crescendo screwing up entire sections of playback

• Jan 19, 2025 - 07:57

Hello everyone, I haven§t seen anyone mentioning this, so I§m wondering if I§m the only one having this issue?
So some crescendos and decrescendos work just fine, but some of them decide to do a little funky thing of choosing one note they are attached to, and just... hold it out for couple of bars. Even after the crescendo ends.
And since I'm writing for woodwinds and brass at the moment, it's really making the playback wonky as hell.
The only override I've found is to manually insert the crescendo on a smallest possible note in the group (one that doesn't glitch) and just graphically stretching it over entire phrase. The playback is still not great because of this, because there's "functional" crescendo only on one note, the rest is only graphically stretched. When exported to pdf, it will be alright for musicians, but I need to submit semi-functional playback to school too, or the musicians will not even get to it :')
Anyways, I hope this was at least a bit understandable?
Has something like this happened to anyone?

Thanks in advance

----Also can't upload video format here, so google drive link of what's happening, because I feel like the explanation is a bit messy:

The newest version can be a little picky about how hairpins are entered. So, yes we do need the score to be able to help.

As I suspected. The problem is the placement of the hairpins. In every case where a staccato note was held, it was caused by the hairpin in the measure. In some cases, the anchor point for the hairpin over lapped a dynamic mark. moving the anchor point solved the problem. In other cases just moving one end or the other of the hairpin was what worked.

It does play correctly, but I failed at replicating it at first.
Then I realized that musescore was automatically snapping the hairpins to dynamics markings, so I had to manually detach all of them. When I saved the file and reopened it, some of them reattached again, not sure why that happened. Yes, you are correct that dynamics attached to hairpin starts/ends are the issue here, but I haven't found a way to stop that auto-clipping. Sometimes I can't even separate it properly and just delete one of the elements and re/enter it.
Any idea how to disable the auto-attach?
