Description

I have written a tremolo on the flute from G#5 to B5 (where C4 is middle C), no dynamic or articulation. The tremolo is uneven, seems to get slower and faster and slower and the loop continues. Basically it sounds a bit like a beginner doing a tremolo for the first time in their life. I would really appreciate if this could be fixed as it will massively improve the sound.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in MuseScore using a flute tremolo from G#5 to B5, with no dynamic or articulation, and listen for the changing playback speed. Investigate the MuseSounds flute tremolo playback path; done means the tremolo sounds even and no longer repeatedly speeds up and slows down.
