Muse Sounds bug
Bug description
The Alto Sax Muse Sounds soundfont sometimes holds notes for too long and misses attacks on descending lines. As far as I can tell, this occurs most often when playing a descending line in the range from high Bb to G.
In the attached score, this is noticeable in the first measures of A and C. In sections D and E, this bug is extremely egregious, resulting in a rhythm that is not even close to what is written.
Markers G through J demonstrate a few other contexts in which the bug occurs. Section J is especially bad, as the second note never sounds.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a score with an alto sax part.
- Make sure playback is set to the Alto Sax Muse Sounds soundfont.
- Write a line with a high Bb/A# that descends to the A or G immediately below it.
- Start playback.
Note: This does not seem to be the only instances where the alto sax will play the rhythm incorrectly, but is easily reproducible on a fresh score.
