Slurs in MIDI

• Mar 28, 2009 - 00:01

In a MIDI generated by MuseScore, you don't hear the slurs. You can hear the Ties, but not the slurs. Include this feature fast!

Supposedly, playback of slurs are supposed to be supported in the newest revisions of MuseScore, but I haven't been able to hear the difference between legato and regular notes. Until this gets worked out, the tenuto marking is played back. Just add the tenuto above all notes in the slur but the last for a smother result.
One limitation to this work-around is the lack of support for the legato MIDI controller. This means that if your score has a slur in any type of wind instrument, each note will be held for 100% of its value, but still be attacked. In a slur for any wind instrument, only the first note should have an attack,and every note but the last should be held for its full value. Still, for piano, a string of tenuto markings make a fine legato, and will give you a smother result for all the other instruments, even if a real slur is unattainable.
