Slurs do not work in playback
I am working on an arrangement for a clarinet quartet, but when I add slurs/ties to two notes, it does not sound in playback. For example: This

Slurs indeed don't play back (yet), but ties do, and this example indicates that you should be using ties.
MuseScore makes difference between a slur and a tie. A tie is entered with + or with the tie button in the top toolbar, it's used to add up the duration of the notes and it does playback. A slur or legato is entered with S and can span several notes (Double click and use Shift + Right to extend, or select two notes, press S). Legato is played but it's very (too much...) subtle currently.
I agree, a slur not working is to be reported as bug. see https://musescore.org/en/node/289396

Yes. The MIDI standard doesn't provide a really clear obvious way to implement slurs. That's not to say it's impossible, it would just require a lot of effort, kind of along the same lines as the enormous work that went into support single note dynamics recently.
