Hello everyone at MuseScore,
As I was playing around with the newly released MS4, I noticed that the bends (for my example, on a trumpet) did NOT play back at all.

bending electric guitar working on Musescore 3 doesnt work in Musescore 4

Is it a bug or is it intentionally deleted? That would be a big negative either way.
In order for anyone to investigate, we'd need you to attach your score. Normally bends to play, at least for soundfonts. For Muse Sounds, it depends on the instrument - some have bend samples, others don't yet. So they will hopefully be gradually added over time.

Hi. This has samples of the bends. They work fine in M3... obviously they were made there.
I found the bend function in Articulations and can add it to the staff but it doesn't play. In M4 nothing will bend and it seems in M3 everything will bend.
Thank you for your attention.
Oh, the guitar bends specifically. The original post was about trumpet. Guitar bends are indeed not implemented yet. See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/13544
Sometimes bending works, sometimes it doesn't. In I loved another woman I hear them, in test I don't. Both written in 4.

Hi Marc,
You said in Dec 2022 that guitar bends are indeed not implemented. I take it you mean on playback. Is this the case with the latest version. MS 4.1.1? I have no problem adding them, but no playback. Do you plan to add bend playback in subsequent versions (triaging of updating tasks)?
Check the above mentioned GitHub issue: it is about guitar bend playback

It is now December of 2024. My problem is that whether bend playback works or not seems to be completely unpredictable. A given bent note in an acoustic guitar score will play back in one measure, and in the very next measure the same bent note on the same string will not. That fact seems very strange to me.
This issue tracker is discontinued. If you have a specific score where you are still seeing an issue with this in 4.4.4, please ask for help on the Supprot forum and attach the score and say which specific bend isn't playing for you. Then someone can investigate from there.
