Two notes instead of one
In the attached score on my desktop computer system at least in measures 32 and after the second half note in each measure sounds distinctly like two quarter notes. Can others hear this, and can anyone explain it? Thanks for any help.

I can't hear it nor explain

Thanks for looking at it. It very clearly sounds like two notes on my system, and when I exported it as an mp3 it still sounds like two notes, though not quite as distinctly. Has anyone ever seen this before?

It may be the sound font you are using.
Indeed, probably a soundfont artifact. But I'm curious, are you hear two different pitches at once, or the same pitch twice in succession, or what? Could be interesting to upload the mp3 somewhere so we can hear what you are hearing.

What I hear is the second half note in the measures indicated sounding like two distinct quarter notes of the same pitch during MuseScore playback or the mp3. Actually it's more noticeable in the playback of the MuseScore file I posted, but it also happens in the exported mp3: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vpC-Z1vpvLwF28fm9saTJow3RN-ZTFz6 begining about 0:50

I think you're just getting fooled by the vibrato.
I notice, for the Soprano (he is SOLO) for the 2nd half note of measure 32 and after, this 2nd note seems to be 2 quater notes , unchained, with the 2nd (the last) less strong than the first
I think there is just a slight “beat” due to the vocals not being a perfect, in-phase, sine wave (and why would you want them to be?) and your brain is filling in the rest by interpreting it as two notes.
