Description

Issue type

General playback bug

Description with steps to reproduce

I choose classical guitar or acoustic guitar (the problem is not for electric guitar).
I write any note, in this case a G.
I go to the Articulation pallet and choose a flageolet.
When I play the example I hear that the note is fading in from zero volume to full volume in the end of the note - the opposite of how a guitar sounds; it should be strongest on the attack and should fade out a little after that. With this problem, short notes are not heard at all.

I have discussed this in the facebook group and people don't have this problem if they have downloaded a sound library. But I haven't. I have the default sounds that follow MuseScore, so it seems it's in that sound this flageolet behavior exists.
