Description
Issue type
General playback bug
Description with steps to reproduce
If a file is generated in 3.6.2 or 3.7 Evo, all guitar bends have no playback effect in 4.3.2 or 4.4 nightly.
Back during 3.6 and 3.7, all six of the guitar bends only required one note - no target note.
When you open a 3.x file in 4.3 or 4.4 nightly, all of these bends do nothing on playback.
The curve graph is there, but with no line and nothing to edit.
If I'm not mistaken, 4.3 and 4.4 still have the 'slight bend', which behaves similarly.
It seems to me all of the old bends could possibly be imported as slight bends with their curves kept intact or nearly so.

Research direction
Start by opening bend retention failure.zip in MuseScore Studio 4.4.0 and comparing playback with MuseScore 3.6.2 or 3.7 Evo. Trace how the older one-note guitar bends are imported and played back; done means the bends produce playback effects and their curves remain available for editing.
