When 2 identical notes next to each other are played only the first one is heard
I copied a page of sheet music into MuseScore 1.3. When I let the program play the music only the first note of two identical notes, standing next to each other, is heard.
How can I hear the second, and each identical note that follows, also?
Thank you for your help,
Daan

You have two "voices" in the same staff?
http://musescore.org/en/handbook/voices
highlights the "silent" note (right-click) then "note property" and verifies "velocity type"
Would you like to attach here your score and give as much information as possible?
Please write a silence between 2 identical notes next to each other.
Example: quarter note & quarter note = eight note, eight silence & quarter note.

you mean a rest, don't you?
You could use staccato too, for the sound of the first not to 'melt' in the 2nd. Also very much depends on the instrument.

O.K. I mean a rest.
Your solution by using a staccato is right also.
I've noticed (and been annoyed by this), too. The only way to get it to sound right is to temporarily have two staves for a few bars (you can use the Hide Empty Staves feature when you are done adding notes to the temporary staves).
This probably should be in the help forum, by the way, or the bug reporter, even. It's annoying to me when I am trying to write polyphonic music with lots of voices and then they don't al play back correctly. So maybe someone should file a bug report?

It has, long ago: #12971: Same note in different voices and lengths plays only the length of the shortest note
No need for a 2nd stave, just silence the shorter not, by switching it's play property off
