Playback Issue - Deleted Caesura and Fermata does not delete the pause

• May 29, 2025 - 20:26

I deleted a Fermata and Caesura in a select area of my score. The now-deleted notation has no effect on the playback, and the playback is as if those events were never removed.

I've:
reloaded playback cache
saved and reopened file
shutdown program and restarted
shutdown computer, and restarted

all to no effect

I attached a photo of the area of the score and an audio file of the problem. Your system wouldn't let me load a video showing it all in one file.

I'm unable to replicate this behavior. I've added and removed each of the caesura symbols half a dozen times and not seen this happen.

FYI: You can attach any kind of file by zipping it and attaching the .ZIP file.

I solved this by deleting the data in all staves for the measure that had a deleted fermata (highlighted all measures, pressed delete.) I exported the pdf first so I had a reference to re-enter the notes, and made several backups as well. I'm not sure if there's a tempo view/editor like in MIDI sequencers, but it would be helpful.
