Space between notes in playback

Dorico

I’m noticing some space in between notes during playback and wondering if there’s a way to get rid of that. I thought it might be because of the instruments selected (oboe, clarinet, clarinet, tuba from highest to lowest), but it did the same thing when I switched them all to electric piano. The articulation was unaffected when I tried adding tenutos as well.

I’m specifically talk about space between “run” and “you” in m. 60, “gone” and “you” in m. 64, and “time”/“we’d” and “-gain”/“for” in m. 65. Project attached.

It’s the effect of the medium swing rhythmic feel you’re using. For example, in bar 60, the eighth on “you” is shortened because it’s the shorter one of the swung pair, but the previous note is not fully lengthened because it’s tied out of a tuplet. You can use the piano roll editor in played durations mode to edit these notes if you find them very bothersome.
