On playback I hear sustained notes that are not in the score

• Feb 20, 2025 - 03:19

I'm hearing sustained notes that are not present in the attached score. I created this over a year ago, opened it up to play it back, and it's started doing this. It wasn't present last time I worked on the score.

I saw this issue raised in a few places, and a bug was mentioned (#14369, now fixed). Not sure if it's related, or the same one, or what.

Play the attached score, and allow it to repeat to hear the sustained notes (violin and cello).

I'm not looking forward to having to recreate this in MuseScore 3 because of this issue. Any ideas for a fix please?

You could put slurs in the cello part measure 8, like you did in the violin.

The actual problem is with hair pins and staccatos.

The hairpins don't work anyway.

Thanks for responding.

I don't want those cello notes articulated with slurs, I want it staccato. Besides, that doesn't account for why the final violin note continues to sustain.

I know the hairpins don't work in v.3 for playback, but they need to be there for the players.

And the weird gets more so. On my system the violin part has a note that extends only the second time. That doesn't make much sense to me. So I started changing some things. I made the last measure 4 beats and deleted the pick-up measure. That slowed the tempo down. No held notes in the violin part. So I undid everything. The result is the attached score. On my system, even though it says half note = 92, it plays slower. And there is only one held note. That is in the cello the second time.
No idea what is going on.
