To reproduce the issue
1) Create or Open a score with notes that are held for more than a beat
2) Click on a note that should begin playing after the note in step 1, but before the previous note should end
3) Click the triangular play button for playback

Expected behavior: you hear the previously played notes (that should still be playing in an actual performance) and the currently selected note

Actual behavior: You only hear the new note being played

I have attached a simple choir+organ example as reference

FWIW, this bugs the heck out of me too. I vaguely recall it having been investigated a long time ago and it was through to be hard, but much has changed since then, including my memory :-), so maybe it's doable without too much trouble.
