Scordatura in violin does not sound
The top staff is a scordatura violin using the Muse Sounds solo violin patch (Violin 1 (Solo) patch to be precise). The bottom staff is the same thing except I used the soundfont that comes built into Musescore, namely MSBasic. The scordatura note doesn't sound using Muse Sounds (Violin 2 (Solo) patch doesn't work either) but does sound using MSBasic. Is that by design or is it a bug? Thanks!
(using version 4.4.3 for Windows 11)

It's likely that the font just doesn't contain that note as it uses standard-tuned violin sounds.

Indeed. Thanks.
That's a MuseSounds issue, I suggest you to report it to this link: https://support.musehub.com/hc/en-gb/requests/new. If both violins have scordatura, both f should sound, assuming that both scordature are on the G-string.

Reported. Boy, is that violin in trouble now!
Or just use the viola sound.

That was my first thought, but the Muse Sounds viola sounds good but cannot seem to properly play rapid lines, and the MSBasic viola sounds like an 8-bit arcade viola. Doesn't matter anyway since the piece is for solo Violin, which in Muse Sounds sounds very nice indeed.
