[MU4 Issue] Playback problems related to tempo slider
Playback on the same file that performs well in 3.6.2 has several issues 4.
The behaviour is inconsistent. Sometimes it behaves as shown, sometimes not. So far behaviour has not been that of 3.6.2. files. I am getting some success with some other files however when there is a problem file it seems to stay a problem file.
Multiple versions of a track playing at the same time. Might be related to confusing "repeat" notation Skipping bars Delay between bars tracking curser skipping bars

Thanks for reporting! I see that you have slowed down the playback using the tempo slider. That seems to be the culprit here, especially in combination with the repeats. If I play it on 100% speed, it seems to work fine for me. Is that the case for you too?
Thanks for responding so promptly Casper. I thought you were correct as it played at 100% without issue.... right up until the repeat bar then it all went very weirdly wrong I'm afraid. It jumped early back to the start of the repeat but only gave silence for several seconds.
I've posted another video into the dropbox link
Hm... what's strange is that that video doesn't sound like 100% speed to me; it still sounds like 65%. That would mean that the slider somehow got disconnected from the actual playback. I've not managed to reproduce that, so far.
I don't really have inspiration at the moment...
If you somehow manage to find out how the slider got into this disconnected state, that would be great! But I know that can be a difficult question...
Ive done a fair bit of investigation on this over the last few days. It appears to me the behaviour is specific to the scrubber slider. I thought I have files that worked fine using the slider. I was mistaken. It appears to impact all the files I have.
I tried to copy a line of the music into a new file and see if that works. it doesnt.
I tried writing a new file. random notes. It gets totally confused.
I have tried changing the note = 120 to 80 as written text. unfortunately its the same result.
The question is whether this is unique to my download or is everybody experiencing this?
Do I delete and reload the software? Any suggestions?
Same problem here. Playback is perfect only at 100%. If you pay attention to the metronome click in the attached file, you can clearly here that at certain point 2 fragments are played at the same time time. A few moments later 3 or even more fragments are played at the same time.

I think this bug is releated to the repeats. If I uncheck "Play repeats" in the Playback Controls, this weird behavior does not happen.
Well done. Yes I see that now. the slower speed on the slider works correctly if you remove repeats. Something to add to dialogue which I have just confirmed is that "unticking" the play repeats needed to be repeated. This has happened on more than one file. When I did it the first time the tick reappeared with the same behaviour. Unticking repeats a second time removed the behaviour of multiple voices and skipping.
I hope my comment was clear. I think the untick process of the "repeats" option is required more than once.
the Un-repeats needs repeated ... urghhh!
Another update. I notice even with the repeats option unticked the curser lagged behind the melody significantly. In the file I shared it ends up 4 bars behind the playback sound.
I can confirm this is not resolved by 4.01. Is there any indication about where this in a priority list? ATM I am just using 3.6. I appreciate efforts being made.
This is an excellently described bug @daddadpfc! Thanks for the files too. Definitely a patch candidate.
