MuseStrings stopped playing some notes after update
This morning, MuseHub automatically renewed my free MuseStrings, and afterward I noticed that the strings in some of my scores weren’t playing the way they used to. For example, in the last measure of the following snippet, only the final note is playing back -- whereas before, all the notes were played. Is this just my problem? Can anyone, please, check it out?

Happens to me, too. Seems like a Muse Sounds bug, try to reach them for debugging.

- Without that phrasing the triplet sounds very muffled and even somewhat out of rhythm.

Sounds OK on my system. Plus you have a cello section playing. I wouldn't expect it to sound perfect. Real life or MuseScore.

Thank you. It sounds perfect to me in MuseScore when I use that phrasing. Without it, it doesn't sound right on my system. In fact, it didn't sound good to me even back in the MS4 days. It was only after the phrasing feature and MuseScore Studio were introduced that I finally managed to get it to sound the way I wanted.

What is the tempo supposed to be? 120 in your example. And I do have the update. I have everything in the HUB turned off. But I just happened to update sounds before I read your first post. It is a little bit of an odd rhythm to me. I had to add a snare drum playing it to make sure I was hearing it correctly. Even so, The triplet never sounded muffled to me without the sound flag.

I see. Thank you. The tempo is the default one, which is 120 I think. Then, probably it's something wrong with my system. I get two different things with and without the sound flag. Perhaps, I didn't describe it correctly. It's not that without the sound flag it sounds muffled, but it sounds more expressive with the "classic phrasing" sound flag, which is exactly what I need.

Except that not all the notes play. Have you tried some of the other flags? They don't always do what you might think they say.

"They don't always do what you might think they say."
-- I've tried some of them (Sul Tasto, Bartók pizzicato, etc.), and they all did something I liked and used here and there. But I'm not a professional musician, so I’m not sure if they truly live up to their names.
"... not all the notes play."
-- Could you please remind me where I should report this bug? I did so about two years ago, but I’ve forgotten the procedure. I recall that I had to go to a different website, not the official MuseScore one.

Some things to think about.
You used a flag to try to fix playback. Rather than to suggest a playing technique. Will all players have the same idea about what "classic phrasing" means? Hard to say. If you use flags to fix playback, consider making them invisible.
I don't remember ever using one. I think they may be close to what they might mean.Or not. What is the difference between "standard" and "default"? No idea.
It is possible that the triplet is fine, but some of the notes around it make it seem off. Muse sounds tend to be sloppy in fast passages. As I said before, it seemed OK (maybe not perfect) to me without the flag.
Here is a link to GitHub. https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues I don't know where to go from there as I've never posted a report. Sorry.

"If you use flags to fix playback, consider making them invisible."
-- Sure. Thank you. As far as I remember, it will be invisible on paper anyway.
"Here is a link to GitHub..."
-- Thank you!!! Now it came back to my memory.
