[MU4 Issue] Instruments randomly cutting out during playback
Describe the bug Sometimes during playback a part will randomly cut out and stop playing for the rest of the score. pausing and resuming playback does not fix the issue. going back to the begining of the score the missing part will start playing again until it reaches the measure where it stopped. Adding a dynamic to the problem measure or closing and reopening the score fixes the issue
To Reproduce I cannot find a way to reproduce the bug as it happens completely randomly. The measure where the sound cuts out is also completely random each time it occurs. I have tried copying the problem measure to isolate it but the bug is not reproduced when copying the measure. The bug mostly happens in the B section of the score (bar 65) but sometimes it will occur else where. This score is the only score where I have had this issue
Expected behavior I expect the part to keep playing
Screenshots I have 2 videos of the bug happening and a video of me fixing it by adding dynamics.
Platform information
- OS: Windows 10
- latest version of Musescore 4 and Musesounds woodwinds
Additional context I had another verison of this piece become corrupted and I had to go back to a manually created backup (I had a backup copy of the score from the previous day) so it may be some kind of corruption issue but musescore does not warn me of the file being corrupt.
The bug happens semi-frequently as im using the program. fixing the bug by adding dynamics fixes the issue but it will popup again in a random measure after some time.
If I remove the dynamic I added to fix the bug the part will keep playing. And moving any notes will fix the issue (but only the notes I move or change in some way. any notes I dont touch after the problem measure still dont play. To me this really looks like musescore is somehow setting all note dynamics to zero but the properties panel shows it still being at 64)
The bug almost always happens in the B section of the score but it has also happened in the begining of the score. And it seems to happen to all 4 parts equally but always just 1 or 2 parts go missing
I can provide a copy of the backup score and the corrupted score if needed.

I just had the issue again and I tested to see if changing to MS basic would fix the issue and it does not. so it seems this isnt a Musesounds problem
