Not exactly, but I would use a lot that button turning it off when Podium is playing, saving time, so, please add it if you have a reason to preview notes while podium is playing.

I find the audition useful during playback, when trying to fit notes to the playing melody.

Siegfried pointed that preview of the note should start/restart when you create/move a new note, and it must last (sustain stage) until you release the mouse button (and sound would go to release stage). THis is very useful when you’re moving short (<1/32) and long (>1/1) notes looking for the best musical interval, but annoying if you don’t have it. Preview should work in the same way that piano roll’s keys. The time that preview note is sounding should depend only of mouse click, and it should be independent of event lenght.

Then when you move notes by dragging, the note would play continuously until you drop the note. I think that could be annoying to some.

The audition of the true note length can be useful, when you step through the notes in a sequence by using the arrow right key. The note length of especially short notes also can have a big impact on how the note will sound, so for short notes it is useful to have the true note length auditioned. For very long notes I agree that it can be annoying, but I think I will solve that for now by adding the audition on/off button to the editor.
