Caesuras now lengthen previous note awkwardly

• Dec 28, 2023 - 06:48

Hey, pretty much what it says on the title. Caesuras are now (as of 4.2) lengthening the immediately preceding note which is ... not what a caesura is for lmao. Caesuras are for a pause after a note value is finished, fermatas are when you hold a note for longer than specified value (and optionally pause after). They currently do the same thing in Musescore 4.2.

Is this deliberate or just a bug?

Oh I've also literally just noticed that tied notes keep playing quite a bit after they're meant to be finished over the top of other notes, which messes up some other note values (makes them play too short/out of time). They also do the opposite, and finish a few beats before they're meant to (especially longer ties over barlines)

This applies to MS Basic and MuseSounds (Flutes 1, 2 and Alto Flute is what I've noticed it on but there could be others)

Has there been any update regarding the Caesuras duration? I've run into this issue a few times of the pausing being much longer than it needs to be; and the only work around I've been able to come up with is applying a longer time signature for that one measure, so I can add in a rest and then annotate the rest as a caesuras and make the time changes invisible. But that's a lot more work than should be necessary for that.

That does not seem to be the same problem as described in the original post which said the note before the caesura being lengthened, not the caesura itself. So, it is difficult to answer your question as it is not clear what update you are hoping for.

Best to start a new thread and attach a score which demonstrates the problem.
