Dorico is properly exporting my project audio, but the resulting .mp3 and .wav files consistently have long durations of silence added at the end of the music. Is there a setting that I should be addressing, to avoid this?

Thanks, in advance. . .

That silence is for a reverb tail. Please also have a look here : [Notes duration are uneven in MIDI and playback modes - #8 by dspreadbury](https://forums.steinberg.net/t/notes-duration-are-uneven-in-midi-and-playback-modes/731728/8)  
The next Dorico version will have a proper user interface for it in the preferences dialog.

Thank-you _very_ much, Ulf!
