MuseScore Studio is een krachtig, gratis en opensource softwarepakket voor muzieknotatie. Met de software kun je professionele partituren maken, bewerken, afspelen en exporteren. Het is crossplatform beschikbaar voor zowel Linux, macOS als Windows. Het is gebouwd met het Qt-framework. Het biedt een robuust, door de community gedreven alternatief voor dure, propriëtaire notatiesoftware. Het .org-project staat los van het commerciële .com-platform, waar tegen betaling bladmuziek kan worden verkregen. Enkele dagen geleden is versie 4.6.4 van MuseScore Studio uitgekomen en de changelog daarvan ziet er als volgt uit:
Online soundsPlayback
- Various optimisations and improved messaging for online sounds (Windows and macOS only)
Engraving
- VSTs now receive playback time position (enables synced video playback with the score)
- Notated tempo BPM values are converted to playback speeds with greater precision
- We've switched back to ALSA as the audio server on Linux (PipeWire is still available via Preferences)
Chord symbols
- Slurs from grace notes to tied non-grace notes now stop at the first note of the tie
- Parentheses around noteheads no longer touch ledger lines below the staff
- Restored the ability to create frames with negative margins (not recommended)
- Fixed display of invisible multimeasure rest numbers
- Fixed horizontal spacing of cue notes under a trill line
- Fixed hiding of courtesy clefs, key and time signatures near a section break
- Fixed hiding of measure numbers when all instruments are hidden
- Fixed vertical alignment of voice 1 rests at "gaps" where rests in higher voices were deleted
- Fixed regression where measure numbers collided with brackets around single line percussion staves
Interaction
- Fixed rendering of accidentals when using the "Legacy MuseScore" style with a font other than Edwin
- Fixed vertical layout of chord symbols and RNA that include parentheses
- Fixed double layout problem that caused unnecessary stave separation after edits to chord symbols
UI
- Single notes now become selected after being pasted
- Fixed issue causing slurs to change shape unnecessarily when other objects are moved
- Fixed regression causing grip anchor visualisations to not update on adjustment
Import/export
- The Welcome dialog no longer appear over app update dialogs
- Restored the "Align with preceding dynamic" checkbox in the Properties panel for expression text

- Fixed regression causing some error dialogs to appear multiple times despite "Don't show again" being selected
- Fixed regression causing menus to appear in the wrong position on Linux
- Fixed regression in the Percussion panel where pads were drawn with hard corners instead of rounded
- Fixed regression where the special characters dialog was modal, preventing interaction with the score
Accessibility

Stability
- Fixed Spanner::endElement() and Tie::endNote() to return the end element rather than the start element
- Slur offsets (slurUoff1 – slurUoff4 ) are now properties of SpannerSegment and return correct values
- Fixed crash on deleting instrument after using Tools > Implode
- Fixed crash on pressing Esc after entering notes via MIDI keyboard
- Fixed crash on adding a system marking to a score with large time signatures
- Fixed crash on pasting multiple fermatas where the lowest would go below the bottom staff
