![]() ![]() There is also a new option in Edit > Preferences > Canvas to prevent the user from accidentally moving the score too far when scrolling manually. The default behavior here continues to be as before. Entering a “C” with the button disabled will result in the following: So now, if you disable that button, the score will not be repositioned automatically at all. To deal with this, we took the little-used Pan score during playback toolbar button (to the left of the metronome button) that disabled score repositioning during playback, and we repurposed it as pan score, period. But what if I had really wanted to continue working on the previous measure, such as by entering another voice or adding dynamics? With piano and guitar music in particular, this can be especially common. This is all well and good if my intent was to continue with the next measure. Normally, MuseScore will automatically reposition the score to keep the active area in view, so as you reach the right-hand edge of the window, the view moves so you could see the notes you are entering.įor example, here I am about to enter a “C” to complete the scale:Īfter entering the “C”, the score is repositioned so I can see the next measure: The discussion about the score repositioning bug led us to implement an option that a few people have long requested: the ability to completely turn off automatic score repositioning. One of the users in the discussion did some of the coding for this more on this below. This was a bug, plain and simple, but when it was first noted on the forum, it generated a rather passionate discussion that led to a greater understanding of the different sorts of ways people use MuseScore, the different types of devices they use, and how these differences affect expectations about how the score will respond.Īs a result, not only did we fix the bug, but we tweaked the algorithms further to improve the overall experience and introduced a couple of new features to give users greater control over score positioning. The original report noted that in certain cases, when pasting to a measure that was originally very close to the right-hand edge of the window, the score would jump all the way to the left. I choose to discuss this bug because it illustrates one of the truly wonderful things about how things work in the open source world. One example of a problem that was new in MuseScore 2.2 and is now fixed has to do with how the score repositions itself within the window as you work on it. This includes a number that were inadvertently introduced in MuseScore 2.2 as well as others that have been with us longer. Dozens of issues reported by users have been fixed for this release. Bug fixesĮvery new release comes with bug fixes, and MuseScore 2.3 is no exception. There are a number of percussion-related improvements in support of the new MuseScore Drumline extension, but there are also other changes of more general interest that I would like to highlight first. The MuseScore Drumline extension we are releasing now is but the first of many we plan to provide. This interface allows us to provide new extensions and updates to existing extensions, and it allows you to install or uninstall them, without the need for a whole new version of MuseScore. MuseScore Extensions are accessed from Help > Resource Manager: The new MuseScore Extension facility addresses this need by providing a simple interface for these actions. What it has lacked is a way to package a set of these customizations so that an ordinary user can easily install them, update them, or uninstall them without the need to deal with a confusing mess of different configuration files. MuseScore has long supported a variety of customizations, including the ability to install new soundfonts, edit the list of instruments, create your own templates, palettes, etc. The official announcement and the release notes cover a lot of the details, but I’d like to go into a bit more depth on some of the most significant things you can expect. You can download it from The MuseScore web site. Of course, there are also numerous other new features and bug fixes in MuseScore 2.3. In conjunction with MuseScore 2.3, MuseScore is releasing the first such extension, MuseScore Drumline. ![]() ![]() These extensions can include new instruments and sounds as well as new palettes and other enhancements. Today MuseScore announced the release of MuseScore 2.3, featuring the brand new MuseScore Extension facility to allow additional packages of features to be easily delivered and installed without the need to update the program. ![]()
