Tempo/volta glitch

• Apr 29, 2025 - 14:48

Hi,
I noticed a problem where if you have a score with voltas, the app thinks the tempo increases at every 2nd volta. So for example if you start at 120 BPM it increases it to 216 BPM when it hits the first 2nd volta (first 2nd volta that is in the score), then at another 2nd volta it increases the tempo again to 376 BPM (I'm not sure if that's the next value or if there's one in between them). If you try to play it back from a point after the volta it's still faster, so the volta works as if it was a tempo marking.
It also could be a problem with the speed slider in the floating playback controls but I'm not sure and I can't recreate intentionally.
It happens randomly and most of the time if I restart the app, it works normally again but not always.
I think there's no point in attaching any scores, because the ones that I had the problem with recently are working correctly now.
Thanks in advance

Edit: It happened so I made a screen recording
If you look at the playback controls, as soon as it hits the volta, the tempo changes from 192 to 355. I made it faster using the speed slider for the video to be shorter but it works the same with the slider set 100%.

If you ever find a way to reproduce this, be sure to attach the score and steps to reproduce the problem. As it is, I can only guess you had an invisible tempo marking you then deleted and that's why the problem went away.

Okay i found it - it happens if you have the speed slider moved from 100% (if you make the value bigger it will increase the tempo after the 2nd volta and if you make the value smaller it will decrease the tempo) and then edit the chords (add or just change one) before the 2nd volta. I tried changing the A7 chord in the bar before the 1st volta.
