rabbit holes galore...

The printer thought I had a pro typesetter in my family when he saw the file)

MuseScore 4.0 gets better and better. They've got all the things you commonly use up on top so you don't have to go to the pallets anymore. Accents, triplets, slurs, marcato, staccato, etc...
Even the sound of the steel string acoustic guitar is better. Instead of sounding like a freaking harpsichord, you can literally hear a pick hitting a string. In the pallets they've got something called "jazz sound" which may be able to be applied to the guitar.
I'm literally twelve measures from completing my 58th big band chart. Just need an ending for a prog tune.
Then I'll check out the electric guitar. They've even got distortion. This thing is better than having a studio.

A delightful bug in Musescore3. When using a fast tempo, then you close the app and later open the app, via clicking another file, it plays at the previous fast tempo.
Or, it does in the Linux version at least.

It should also be possible to teach MuseScore about fonts installed in your system; it beats me a bit why they haven't considered this.
*) You'd place your intended font(s) in the fonts directory and then search the code for the existing fonts (e.g. the nicely unique petaluma name) to reference the font(s) you added and remove the one(s) you don't want.
FWIW, I agree that the fake hand-written font looks stupid and is unreadable. I don't know why it's popular in jazz ...

I'm in, MuseScore 4 for me, as soon as I get off my duff and do it up.

On the positive side, the two acoustic guitar sounds are good, nylon and steel string,and you can notate classical guitar multi-voice things with that two parts thing at the top, but there's a learning curve on doing it, so prepare to read the handbook on how to do it right.
For guitar teachers, there are fingering marking tools that look good.
There's slide guitar available, but if it's anything like the other f/x stuff, I don't want to even try it.
So while playback is still bad for guitar, you can notate their horrible sounds much easier, so the player will know what to do. Just don't submit your scores to anyone that is going to listen to them on MS,( like I'm preparing to do.) with those markings on a guitar part.

Have they already come up with a version to replace 4.0? I noticed they had 4.0 2 on the MS.org page.
Has anyone tried it? Did they fix all the bugs on the 4.0 version?Last edited by sgcim; 05-15-2023 at 08:48 PM.

This is open source software. If you encounter bugs, something that annoys you or something you miss, open a Github account and post your findings here:
Issues * musescore/MuseScore * GitHub
Hopefully your issues will make it into the next version.
BTW I can work very well with the latest version. I do mainly lead sheets ATM.

You can't write higher than a highC for trumpet, even though there are plenty of guys who can play higher than that. At least it prints it out, but you can't hear it on playback.
I've already complained to them, but they can't fix it.
