Fermata with tremolo

Hello everyone, does anyone know why a tremolo note with a fermata sounds like a slowest tremolo?

Check out the tempo lane in the key editor. You’ll see that the tempo changes at the fermata to a slower tempo. The tremolo follows the tempo in the Dorico playback, so here’s the reason why

Ah okay! And is there any way to make the fermata effect but without affecting the tremolo?

You’ll have to adjust the expression map you are using to tell it to “consider tempo changes,” which is under Playback Overrides:

It is often deselected by default. Enabling it usually solves that issue, so the tremolo will not slow down but will still be held at the length of your fermata.
