Same with different kinds of tablature, for example tablature for lute (which is my field…). For example, figured bass is much better thought through in MuseScore, more flexibility, easier to use. Support for early music is better than in Finale or Sibelius which were mainly designed with more conventional notation in mind. OK, regarding tools for composing and audio, Finale has still the edge over MuseScore – but there are also features that are unique in MuseScore. Of course, there are still some music writing features missing that Finale offers, but honestly those are easy to work around using other apps, as anyway for more extended (professional) work one would export and edit the sheet music in an DTP app (and you can just edit the output in a vector graphics app before…). And I have been using it daily, since it (nearly) completely replaced Finale for me. I hadn't had any crashes or even bugs for the last months using it. While MuseScore was at version 1, I couldn't imagine to dive into it, since it crashed far too often – and stability is crucial if you want to do more than just playing around.īut now, since version 2 is out for a while, I can happily report that it is rock stable. I was watching MuseScore for a long time, as Sibelius has become abandonware and Finale hasn't done much progress in the last decades (you are paying the yearly update fee a.k.a. Various collisions have been resolved (clefs and key signatures, accidentals and cross-staff beams).Cross-page glissando lines have been finessed.Slurs now show correctly in parts when only some voices are displayed.Sticking in percussion music no longer breaks slurs.Voices now align correctly in 'full' tab staves.Various fixes to the behaviour of stems.Fixes to the behaviour of system objects.Several errors arising from setting notes to cue size are resolved.A ton of engraving fixes and improvements.
