Piano Roll Note silent duration at the end LMMS unusable

[markg]

This software is amazing...I was just beginning to enjoy it. However, now when I place notes in the piano roll there is a silent piece at the end with a duration of about ¼ second - no matter what instrument I use
I re-installed it but it's still behaving this way, So, unusable, sadly.. i.e. between each bar there is like a 'click' noise

That caused by a erroneous time-signature. You need to select one that fills your patten correctly.
You can learn about time-signatures here:

That is actually a different issue. Clicks / pops are caused by not enabling a proper envelope for an instrument

I don't think you have understood the problem
It's nothing to do with time signature

I'm simply starting the programme from new and going straight into the piano roll and adding a note.

The note I add fills the time signature perfectly, but the note itself has a duration of silence at the end of it. Did you not see that?

It sounds like you have possibly a long decay added to the note. It's hard to judge from the video what is wrong. Out of the box I don't see the same issue. In the second tab in the instrument window you can set the envelope. Try and see if it is on and if so, if turning the hold/decay/release down quite a bit helps. Other than that you need to share a project file that demonstrates this.
I remember an issue where older settings can be remembered over sessions so this could be a version of that bug.

Thank you for the diagnosis. I don't think there is an envelope set up

There is. Also it's inverted. Set AMT to full right and turn the HOLD down. Also turn the LFO off. It's not helping here.

I think at the core of the issue is the default sound of the tripple oscillator synth. It's three simple sine waves and if you start two notes at the same time they can cancel out if they're not in phase. On your defective track, turn down the volume of two of the oscillator so you only have one sine wave in there and try changing the tempo of the track while it's looping and I think you'll see what I mean. For more issues in there I just need to see a project file.

There were nothing to see -your link led to a download-page
But its like Zonk says
1) You have inverted your envelope. That is the culpit
Set AMT like:

- in the square, the circle is not relevant -and read https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=In ... #Envelopes
Also try a different waveform, but its your inverted envelope that causes the issue

Thank you again. That didn't solve the problem.. I don't have a project to send you. I'm simply starting out by adding a note to the piano roll and experimenting with the oscillator control to hear the effects

This is far too complex for me. I shall look for something else... thank you again

@markg I only know lmms unfortunately, otherwise I would have recommended something. All similar software I have come across has a learning curve. In this case the problems you're facing is understanding the envelope generator of a synth, a common tool. This is something you need to work on no matter what software you dive into next. And it takes some time to get used to. Search ADSR...

Good luck!

I had a problem similar to this with a triple oc arpeggio.

I solved it by shortening the note a tiny bit, so both notes don't "touch".

There was no silence though as the topic title says.
