Musescore playback not

working
voronkos • May 3, 2021 - 03:59

Reported version 3.6

Type Functional
Frequency Many
Severity S3 - Major
Reproducibility Randomly
Status needs info
Regression No
Workaround Yes
Project MuseScore

Steps to reproduce:
1) Start entering notes into music sheet.
2) Continue doing 1_
3) Try playing the score by pressing the play button
4) The play button turns blue, but the score is not playing.
Once the problem starts it occurs for all the open score
sheets. And it does help to reopen the sheet. The program
needs to be closed and then re-opened.

There is no pattern to when the problem occurs, so it does

not look like this is a problem with a specific score.

Are you perhaps changing audio devices?

MuseScore sometimes needs to be told to rescan,
try toggling the MIDI button o! then on (on the
main toolbar). Otherwise, if you cannot come up
with more precise steps to reproduce the problem -
I've never seen anything like what you describe and
cannot reproduce - please ask for help on the
forum and include more info about your OS and
your audio setup (devices, drivers etc). Perhaps
someone else familiar with that particular OS and
audio setup might have some insight into possible
conflicts.

The same exact thing is happening to me. Version

3.6, happens often, and there's no way to fix it even
after toggling the MIDI button on and then o!. This
makes it almost impossible to use the program and
there's no pattern that relates to how it happens.

the problem?

Just go to edit --> preference, under the I/O tabs,

there is button says 'resstart the midi devices'.
Press it should working fine after that

the 'restart the midi devices' didn't work for me, but
what did work was clicking on the 'reset all
preferences to default' and it now played from not
moving from one note to another at all, to now
normally playing again.

If it actually played but you didn't see the score

moving during playback you probably did not have
the Pan Score During Playback button selected. See
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/play-
mode#playback-toolbar

Resetting to factory settings will revert this to its

default position of On. But much easier would be to
just click on the button in the playback toolbar.

Make sure there are no software or any Musescore

updates. I had the same issue and so I checked for
updates. Turns out there was one and the problem
was fixed.
