Potential bug: Trill not playing after a prepared turn.

• Mar 6, 2025 - 10:16

Hi guys,
I'm just making this piano score for myself, and I noticed that after a prepared turn, a trill will not play in musescore. The audio plays it as if the note and trill and prepared turn don't exist. Could you fix this? It's really annoying and tampering with my experience of Musescore.
I've also included the score I'm working on to show the bug. Look at bar 16 and play a note before the bar to enact the bug. I'm using Musescore version 4.4.4, 64-bit.
To reproduce the bug, put a grace note (any grace note, even only one behind the note causes the bug) behind a normal note with a trill sign on it, and it will cause the bug.
Thanks,
Classics and Music

I believe this is a known problem. Someone will be able to point out the report on GitHub.

Personally, I find that I sometimes need two scores of the same piece. One that would be for musicians and one marked up for playback. Notation software doesn't always playback the way we want. As in your case. Here is one possible way to get playback. The initial notes are made que size.

I believe trill speed is based on tempo. Probably can't do much about it. Unless you do something like you did in the line above with a tremolo.
1. Instead initial grace notes, enter the three notes as 64th notes.
2. Range select them and open Properties.
3 Select "Que size". This is only needed if you want them to look like grace notes.
4. Enter a double dotted C quarter note. You may have to make the double dot option visible by clicking the gear icon at the right of the tool bar. Scroll down to the double dot and open the "eye". while you are there you may find other useful things.
5. Put the "tr" over the C.
