Hello !
I have 5 notes, the top three of which are shifted to the right.
When I play the part, I only hear the bottom two notes; the top three are inaudible.
If I shift the fourth note slightly to the right, then all the notes are audible.
What should I do?
See the images.
Thank you for your help.

Group the symbols make a segment ?

Thanks, Janamo!
I grouped the five notes, but it didn't change anything.
When I select everything, all five notes are audible.
When I press play, it doesn't work.
Perhaps it's a bug that needs fixing?

Hi,
Maybe you can try another symbol for this : relative ?
use via playback menu : instant feedback
There is no parameter assigned ?
You can start with a note and duplicate this :Ctrl + D

Check the interpretation parameter, there are settings there to only allow 1 note to play at the same time.

I've tried everything, without success.
I've found three very strange things.
- It works with SoundcaseFluidR3 Strings.
- It doesn't work with my East West Hollywood Strings VST.
- If I loop my track, it works with East West and Soundcase.

I tried with SSO Discover and other VSTs, but that didn't work either.

❌ Not as Audio FX in Synfire
midi channel ?
expression/modwheel on 0
audio interface : same sample rate
Check:
- OPUS Main Out → DAW Stereo Out / Master
In the OPUS mixer:
- Instrument → Output: Main
In the Synfire (mixer)
- OPUS channel is not muted
- Volume is turned up

Add a global rack ( double click to open a rack ) and install Kontakt , extract automatically a device description for Kontakt and load a plugin in kontakt.

I've installed Kontakt and SSO Discover.
I've noticed something:
If I place the top three notes at measure 9 or later, it doesn't work.
If I place the notes at measure 8.3, it works.

This could also be playing ranges that exceed the sounds's total pitch range. Happens often with orchestral instruments that have limited ranges. Check the sounds ranges

It's full range strings C1 to D5.

It's difficult to tell from the screenshots alone.
Long notes won't play if their anchor is not playing, no matter how long the tail is. Sometimes an anchor is obstructed by another Figure in a child container, a Pause parameter, a ducking segment on another track for the same instrument, etc.
Do the notes play if you cut them short?

Thanks André!
I deleted the Yamaha Grand Piano track, and now, It works!!!
I'm going to find out why this track was interfering.
Thanks again!

If multiple instruments (tracks) go to the same sound (MIDI port and channel), only one note can ultimately survive at the same point in time and pitch. Here it seems the other track replaced the long notes with shorter ones.
Synfire should actually merge the notes into one, but that only works if they are exactly at the same position. It is likely that the short note comes shortly after the long note and that sends a NOTEOFF message that kills the long note. MIDI can't have nested notes on the same pitch.
