I went to write a 4/4 bar that had the notes in order played as (in concert) F, G, B, C and for some reason the playback lags going from B to C, and seems to treat it like a dotted quarter + swing eighth. Very frustrating. I tried moving it to the lower octave and it worked perfectly fine, I tried moving it to a different place in the bar (to the offbeat, or to a different beat other than 1) and the issue replicated. I also tried changing the duration of the B and C to eighth notes and that just cut the C out of playback altogether. I know when I print it playback won't matter but this is a very strange issue.

I ran into this issue when scoring a choral arrangement. Attached is a minimal example which has this bug on Musescore release 4.0.2.
Testing with other sax voices shows that this only occurs with the Alto saxophone voice from Muse Hub (latest release as of posting).
