Muse Sounds bug

Bug description

When playing back string section tremoli (especially in soft dynamic like ppp) there are small gaps between consecutive notes. Using ties or slurs doesn’t help. Also, IMO ties or slurs should not be necessary to get the desired result of a long uninterrupted tremolo.

Steps to reproduce

Input some tremoli for a string section (Violins 1 in this case) and try different options with and without ties/slurs:

Or just have a look at this score (mscz renamed to zip): Tremolo_bug.zip

Try also chords of several string sections to get a more impressive non-legato sound:
