I can't hear some of the notes on playback mode. It works fine on my I-Phone 6 through the musescore app, I can hear all the notes, but I can't hear all the notes on my MacBook Pro, especially the "B"s.

Can you attach the score? (and don't assign to yourself if you don't intend to fix it yourself, actually better to ask questions like this in the forum)

Title Hungarian Dance No. 5 ⇒ Very high notes on contrabass do not play in FluidR3
Status (old) needs info ⇒ active

The high "B" (eg, measure 18) is out of range for the sound in the default FluidR3 soundfont. I believe there was talk of adding cello samples for those very high notes. I don't see an open issue for this, so I'm leaving this open and changing the title.

Meanwhile, if you need to hear those notes play back on your computer, you can try a different soundfont as shown in the Handbook under "Soundfont".
