Description

Describe the bug
Audio mockup for musesound flute can playback in the wrong octave with marcato accents at forte.

To Reproduce

  1. assign a staff to the musesound flute audio
  2. add notes and give them forte dynamic and marcato accents
  3. press play and hear it sounds like the pitches are being overblown an octave

Expected behavior
The pitch should sound like the octave written.

Platform information
windows

Additional context
I only noticed this problem on flute but it could be possible multiple instruments might be affected.

In general musesounds marcato playback is kind of mushy compared to regular accents which is unexpected when marcato should be more articulated and seperated than regular accents.

For brass, the regular accents sound articulated but when it changes to marcato, the attacks become unclear.
