Glissando plays back differently for tied notes vs. a single note of the same value
This is with MuseScore v2.0.2 on Mac OS X 10.11.3.
See the intro in the attached score. The second glissando (where the first note is a quarter note tied across the barline to another quarter note) plays back differently from the other glissandos (where the first note is a half note).

I can reproduce. Pretty annoying. Let me try to do something about it.
It will be worth discussion on IRC or via developers list - or actually, on the Technology Preview forum - what we *should* do. Right now people may be deliberately breaking notes up into ties because they *want* this behavior. I personally don't like how the current glissando starts immediately - that's not how glissandi are normally played in my world. They usually start around 3/4 through the duration of the note and take only the last 1/4. So if I wanted two half notes with a glissando, I might notate the first for playback purposes as a dotted quarter tied to an eighth, and add the glissando on the eighth, thus relying on the current behavior to give me what I think should have happened by default. But others probably prefer the current default behavior. Perhaps there should be a setitng you can make via the Inspector to control this.
So I don't think it makes sense to do anything on this until there is some discussion as to what most peole would actually want.
Oh, right, we've already talked this in chat. Sorry, I forget.
