Staff view glitch

[Matthew Carr]

Have noticed a glitch with the display of long tied notes in the staff view.

In section below, there is a simple sequence played over the top of a drone A note. The staff shows this correctly

If the staff display is moved so the display starts slightly later in the song , then the tied note is not displayed 🤔

This happens  when the staff is scrolling due to playback, or if the scroll bar is manually moved. It's repeatable in other projects, and if I move the display back to the position in first example the tied note is shown correctly.

Appears related to the length of the tied note. In example above, the drone note is tied for 30 bars. If I re-create with a drone note of 16 bars, the drone note is displayed. Haven't tracked down an exact point when the glitch kicks in.

Probably quite an edge case, but strange.

Steps to re-create:

1. Open a new project, add a midi track
2. Add a tied note for 16 bars, plus some other shorter notes in each bar
3. View the track in staff view, and scroll forwards and backwards through the project. The staff view will show the tied note and other notes - expected behaviour
4. Extend the tied note to 30  bars, add some other short notes in each bar
5. Scroll forwards and backwards through the project. The staff view will show the tied note in some scroll positions, but not in others -- unexpected behaviour

Example project with tied note of 30 bars attached -  scroll towards the end of the song whilst displaying the staff view to see the issue.
