Description

Alto saxophone - some notes play back longer than their note value

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new score, using only alto saxophone, and no other changes
  2. Write a chromatic scale in the whole range of the saxophone (concert Db3-A5) using quarter notes
  3. Play back
  4. Hear that notes B4, E5 and F5 are held to long.

Expected behavior
They should play back as their designated note value

Platform information

  • OS: Windows 10

Additional context
These notes seem to be held for too long not only on quarter notes, but also other note values. Eight notes and half notes have been tested.

Done means those notes and other tested durations play for their designated values.
