Description
Issue type
General playback bug
Description with steps to reproduce
Use Muse Sounds
Flutes and oboes (and possibly more) in all dynamics:
- write melody
- double an octave up/down in the same voice
- add slurs
actual behaviour: the lower note is much quieter if it's even played at all at the end of the slur
expected behaviour: both notes should follow the given dynamics (as well as the instrument can) and the last note under the slur should not disappear
Violin section (and possibly more):
- write melody with slurs
- set dynamic to piano (this happens less with louder dynamics)
- apply "Classic Phrasing" flag
actual: the last note is sometimes very quiet
expected: the last note should follow the given dynamic

While making this minimal file I checked MS Basic and it doesn't have the issue
The violin section example had the problem when I initially put it in the score but it magically fixed itself when switching sounds to violins 1 and back to violins 2 (the screen recording is of violins 1 in a different score)
In which versions of MuseScore Studio is this issue present?
4.5.2-4.6.0
