Hi, I’m getting this playback problem. Cello plays an A whole note and is supposed to end when reaching the 8th note rest but I hear a lower E on the rest.
I tried to erase and enter again forcing the duration value but nothing I’ve tried works. Not a big deal for printing but it is annoying on playback.
Question is: How can I force the cellos to end note at the end of the duration value.
Tanks for your help

So what’s the question…
I’m afraid there’s next to nothing to say about it with so little context, it could be anything. Can you share the Dorico file (or preferably, a cut-down version of it), and give some details about your setup, so that someone might investigate? And sometimes other info is relevant, like OS and Dorico version, which sound libraries you use, peripherals, the colour of the cat sleeping on the keyboard…
I use Dorico 6 last version and NotePerformer 5 for instruments playback.
You have soloed the cello and it is still there (the E note)?
Use the NotePerformer mixer to do this (if you do not already know this) 
Yes I have soloed the cellos and I hear the E on the following rest. Same result with soloing via NP mixer
Delete the long note, is the E still there? No hidden or deleted instruments?
I have copied the cello on an empty staff with no other instruments playing nearby and shorten the whole note by an 8th. I still hear an E on the following rest (upbeat of 40).
This must have something to do with Noteperformer playback.
I also have copied these 2 bars on violas and the same thing happens
Did you try to reapply the playback template?

You should be able to hear what’s going on with the playback…
No I haven’t try. I don’t know how to do this.
My guess is there is some artifact from the glissandi. It happens only with NP, so perhaps something to raise with @Wallander ?
Play menu→Playback Templates. Select Noteperfomer, Apply and close.

Thanks Janus, it may be indeed something caused by the glissando. When I delete it, it solves the issue. I’ll try to reach Wallender to see if there is something I can do about it.
Martin
Yes I did reapply Playback template to NP, but it doesn’t solve the problem. I think, as Janus said, that the problem is related to NotePerformer itself.
Thanks for your reply
Martin
I have reduce my project to 7 bars for cellos only with Playback engine to Silence. No other instruments nor Flows in the project and the file is still 7Mb. I don’t see how I could reduce it to the required 4Mb.
Can you upload it to Dropbox or something similar and share a link here?
You can hear it here… It is reproducible.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, here is the link :
It is indeed strange, and you can see in the Key Editor that the E’s are very long, but you can’t shorten them (they immediately come back to their long shape).
One solution is to shorten the E’s: turn them into 16ths by pressing 4,
then enter a 2:1x tuplet
and lengthen them back to an eighth, then remove the rest and rebeam.
Then the playback is correct, I think (sorry, for some reason the file is too big to be uplaoded here!)
