Description

Issue type

Muse Sounds bug

Bug description

A fingered (or even alternating-bow) measured tremolo is played back very differently depending on whether the notes are written out or tremolo bars are used.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Create a new score with solo Violin 1/MuseSounds
  2. Enter in 8 1/16th notes that alternate between G3 and F4
  3. Enter 1/4 notes G3 and F4, and add a 2-line tremolo bar between them (to indicate a measured two-note tremolo)
  4. Play it back
  5. Observe that the "written out" version sounds very different to the tremolo version (the tremolo version is what I would expect both to sound like, I'm not sure why the other version sounds the way it does).
