Playback Feature Suggestion: Allow certain instruments to play through a breath mark/ceasura

• Apr 29, 2025 - 17:52

This is purely a playback issue, not a problem for general notation. I want to allow a snare drum roll to persist through a breath mark noted in the rest of the instruments (after a fermata). The best example of this in music is the snare roll in the Star-Spangled Banner that persists thorough the ensemble breath after "banner yet wave". I know the current playback system doesn't support this, and I understand this would likely be difficult to implement (or at least difficult for percussion roll playback). As a user who uses the playback regularly for percussion education supports I'd find great use in it.
