This was originally reported in #287028: Some notes don't sound, but apparently that is about a different issue now.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new score. It helps if the instrument is a sustaining one, such as Flute.
  2. From the Text palette, add Swing to the first measure.
  3. In the first measure, create a series of eighth notes, tied together.
  4. Play the score from the beginning. The sound will immediately cut off after the first note.

This is due to changes in cf73f52 to fix #77376: Trills and other ornaments play incorrectly on tied notes.


Comments

To make sure I understand correctly, since I've never noticed this problem - it only happens when tying into an offbeat, correct? Which is something one never normally does. Otherwise this would be more critical.

Yes, that is correct. It is because of the note event that lengthens the long note in the long-short pair.
