Strange discrepancies heard in written piano track and what is heard on playback in browser.
I just want to understand why whenever I upload an arrangement, I hear a piano track that I have not written. Super weird and frustrating because this is not audible in the software and it makes my scores sound super bad. I think it might be playing the part from an early version of the project when the piano part was not as fleshed out but I dont understand how it even remembers that.

you can hear a piano playing chords and holding them out for a duration that is not written in the piano track that I wrote, and it sounds super dissonant with the rest of the track, please help me understand why this would be happening becasue it makes no sense
In the second one, the fake piano is playing literally when there is nothing written for it! Here are the files for the scores

Version 3.5 introduced playing chord symbols. musescore.com has added that capability to it's site as well. In version 3.5.1 (when it's released) you'll be able to turn off playback of chord symbols but I have no idea what the plan is for musescore.com. you will have to ask about that on https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com
This is because by default, MuseScore automatically plays chord symbols. If you don't want this, you have to turn it off score by score.

And for that you need to update to 3.5
BTW, a reason it sounds so dissonant is that some of your chord symbols are incorrect :-). So the chord symbol playback here may have just saved you hours of lost time in rehearsals. See for example the C#9 in bar 4 that doesn't match the C in the bass and piano, or in bar 15 where you have BbM7 in the guitar but Bbm7 in the piano, or the Esus7 in bar 20 that almost certainly should have been E7sus.
