[MU4 Issue] Even if not every bar has a fermata, a pause will be applied to all bars.

Open EspressoP opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug When fermatas are misaligned, as shown below, it pauses on both fermatas. This shouldn't happen; the pause should occur only at the second/last fermata. image Though I don't think there's a big problem for scores with a smaller amount of instruments, the problem will definitely show in larger ensembles and it would disrupt the playback with an unwanted pause. I'm unsure if there's a way to fix it, but if there is, it's not obviously shown to a user.

To Reproduce

  1. Have a score with two instruments.
  2. Place a fermata at two separate times on each instrument's staff (like the ones in the image shown above.
  3. Press play.
  4. The playback will have a pause on every fermata, despite only being indicated in a single bar.

Expected behaviour It should only have a pause when the last fermata is placed or at least have a toggle for whether it should pause at that fermata or not.

Platform information Windows 10

Additional context In the same image as before, the pedal would hold for the whole bar. It didn't bother me that much but I thought I should at least note it. Also, thank you to whoever let fermatas have actual pauses in this version. It's extremely convenient.

Here's another case of what I think is the same basic issue, but a different manifestation:

The goal here was to have the first half note take two beats, the second take three. The stretch factors shown in the image work in MU3 but not MU4 - the whole notes cut off before the final half note. Maybe that wasn't the "right" way to do it in the first place, but anyhow, I don't see a way to achieve the desired effect (short of re-writing as 5/4, which I doubt Bach would have approved of!)
