Improving the experience of Guitarists in MuseScore

Tantacrul • 20 hours ago

Hi everyone,

This announcement is to make you aware of a new initiative we're planning that
will aim to improve the experience of guitarists in MuseScore (see the
GitHub project here).

Our Progress on MuseScore 4 - Update 3

Tantacrul • 1 week ago

Hello everyone,

In this short post, I will outline our revised timeline for the release of
MuseScore 4.

New Timeline

For anyone who has tried our nightly builds of MuseScore 4, it will be obvious
that the playback sounds pretty strange (including a fun issue where VST
plugins sound a half-step up from the default!). This is due to a large
piece of unfinished work concerning the handling of playback data (dynamics,
pitch, articulations, etc.). We had initially intended to... read more

Tantacrul • 1 month ago

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give a quick update about our progress with MuseScore 4, which we

nightly builds), we feel
we are a few weeks away from our first alpha. I will be posting a revised
release timeline shortly.... read more

Our Progress on MuseScore 4 - Update 1

Tantacrul • 6 months ago

[Edited for clarity: 14, June, 2021]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give a general update about the remaining work left on MuseScore
4. We've recreated most of the new interface and functionality now and have
ported over most of the MuseScore 3 functionality too. Now we feel it is
possible to begin mapping out a draft release schedule, although there are
still some large chunks of work that are hard to estimate so this timeline may
change (hopefully by getting... read more
