Bug description

x noteheads don't instruct Kontakt Picked Nylon (or PianoTeq’s guitars) to play muted notes. Apparently Kontakt and PianoTeq need keyswitches to trigger muted strings. I hope MuseScore 4's x noteheads will suffice in the future.

Despite some issues already reported here on Github, MuseScore 4.2.1 x noteheads generally play muted notes with the Muse Guitars libraries ... though not with MS Basic guitars, and not with Native Instruments' or PianoTeq's guitars.

Steps to reproduce
  • Open the Guitar + Tablature template in MuseScore 4.2 or later
  • Add some notes and set their notehead type to x
  • Set Mixer>Sound>VST>native Instruments and choose Picked Nylon
  • Play the score

Unexpected result: No muted notes
