Description
Issue type
General playback bug
Description with steps to reproduce
See https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/13853.
When the same note is played in multiple staves with different durations, playback is cut short to the first ending of a note. (This type of writing is found with some degree of regularity in organ scores; putting the staves in different voices does fix playback.)
Expected: the note is rearticulated at the beginning of each note, and then held until the end of the last note.
