Description
Issue type
Muse Sounds bug
Bug description
On the Clarinet and Bass Clarinet (potentially more; I didn't check), adding the "fall" marking to a note causes it to produce the falling sound even after that note has ended, well into the next few beats.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a staff with using the Bb Clarinet
- At the default tempo, enter a relatively short note duration (such as an eighth note) and add a "fall" to that note using the "Arpeggios & glissandi" panel.
- Enter a note of any duration directly after the first note (if at a higher pitch, the issue can be more easily observed).
- Press the play button

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in MuseScore 4.0.2 on Windows with Bb Clarinet or Bass Clarinet, using a short note with a fall followed by another note. Trace the Muse Sounds playback path for fall markings; done means the falling sound stops when the marked note ends and does not continue into later beats.
