Description

Issue type

General playback bug

Bug description
  1. Feature Missing from MS3: Moreover there was a really handy feature from MS3, where you could ease in or ease out a glissando, which is now gone.
    Please bring back something like it.

  2. Feature Request: Most importantly: Most of the time glissandi do not last for the entirety of the time a note is played, but in my experience are more just on the 2nd half of that note. You could easily add this "gliss-delay" option, maybe together with that easing curve option (preferably by note value or percentage rather than by seconds).

  3. Playback 2: When the target note is reached, it is usually played like a new note (with attack), whereas the default should be to just slide into the target note legato-like.

Steps to reproduce

just add a glissando and choose Portamento for type (which is the essence of a glissando) and play it back
see attached screenshot below -> in MS3 this feature works properly

Screenshots/Screen recordings

This has been the old Glissando Playback Section in MS3:

Add the x-axis ticks and the delay-option and it will be phenomenal.
