The same repeated note repeated, both times with tremolos.

When played (or exported to audio) there is no distinction between the notes.

Maybe related to MIDI itself and not to MuseScore, for instance I see that Sibelius has the same behaviour

I was expecting an analogous behavior to the same two half notes played with no tremolos. In this case they are not played as a single note but there is like a "fade-out" between them.

I understand this is not so easy with 32th notes. When played "in real" (eg with a pick) you usually do a tiny rest between them. Maybe this rest could be simulated, by skipping the last 32th or whatever, when playing while editing or when exporting to mp3, except when exporting to midi.

In Spanish traditional string instruments (like Bandurria, Mandolin or Lute) it is quite common to play some long notes (quarter or half) with tremolos, even consecutive notes like this example. Of course the player reads the paper and knows they are different notes but it would be nice to have it also in audios which I usually generate for rehearsal.

Thanks for your help,

In that case your expectations are just unrealistic. MuseScore here just does like it is being told, it plays the note in a rapid repition.
