Description
Issue type
General playback bug
Description with steps to reproduce
NB I think it might be a MuseSounds-specific issue, however, when you select "MuseSounds Issue" on GitHub, it navigates you to a non-existent page on a different website, where you can't create a ticket.
Repro:
- Create a multi-instrument score with various dynamic markings
- Open one instrument's part (it's always reproducible when using any MuseSounds instrument)
- Click randomly on musical notes there
Expected:
- Playback shouldn't be affected/changed in any way after that
Actual:
- Going forward, the part is always going to be played at fortissimo, ignoring all the dynamic markings (both in the specific part tab and in the main full score view)
