Played Durations are Half of Entered Durations

[alexcap]

• Play > Reset Playback Overrides does nothing
• All Properties are unmodified
• In the Expression Map, there are no Playback Options Overrides
• The Length % of all Switches in the Map is unmodified
• I have some Playing Techniques before this, but the Playback Techniques they trigger are Attributes, not Directions

Any ideas?

Hi @alexcap, can you post the Dorico file, to have a look?

I think I figured it out. I had a Playing Technique previously in that staff that triggered a staccato Playback Technique. I thought that because the Playback Technique was set to Attribute that it shouldn’t affect subsquent notes. I gave the Playing Technique a little length and this fixed the problem. I replicated in the horns in the attached:

By the way, the reason I made this Playing Technique was to make certain notes staccato, then hide the Technique because I only want it to affect playback and not be visible to the player.

Playing Technique with no length set:

Playing Technique with length:

I expect the Natural technique to resume immediately after an Attribute.
