I’m having a weird experience where in a particular passage Dorico is only playing back crotchets and ignoring quavers. So if the first two notes of a bar are two quavers, it will play the first one for the length of a crotchet and ignore the second one completely.
This happened initially on second violins, so I tried the passage in the violas. That initially worked but after making some further edits the same thing happened there.
Any ideas?
Dorico 5.1.10, NP 4.4 with NPPE and BBCSO core.
Check the Key editor, to see what’s going on with the notes, and the Expressions.
well if it plays the first quaver the length of a crochet, it would suggest to me simply that there is no audible gap between them? Certainly if the note length is near to 100% or especially over for some reason then one might expect that, depending very much on the specific library and articulation but the BBC Core does tend to hold sustained notes a bit. As @benwiggy says, you should be able to accurately see the actual played note length in the Key Editor and simply slightly shortening your quavers there will likely as not fix it – I do this quite frequently with that library in particular.
I checked the played durations - all good. And the quavers are different notes.
I decided to do due diligence - I updated to 5.1.21, removed and reattached the playback template, removed and added the second violins from the NPPE playback setup, and restarted. I also enabled independent voice playback on the second violins, even though there is no divisi at this point (there are divisis at other points).
The problem has gone away!
However, there seems to be another problem - the second violins in NPPE do not seem to be receiving any signal, at least, the signal indicator next to them in NPPE does not light. I’ll see if I can raise that with Arne.
