Rapid entry of sticking, fingering, and other textįirst: Sticking is a new feature in itself - a percussion version of the fingering markings used for piano, guitar, and some other instruments, in which the usual sticking markings are R, L, r, or l. Here is an illustration of some adjustments that are now possible without disabling Automatic Placement: MuseScore also now provides additional controls over the default behavior, including more settings to control minimum distances for collision avoidance and a keyboard shortcut = (equal sign) to disable autoplace where needed.

So, after some creative reworking of the collision avoidance algorithms, MuseScore now allows you greater freedom in your manual adjustments, to the point of allowing you to deliberately create collisions, move elements from one side of the staff to another, and more, all without ever disabling autoplace. And while it was possible to disable autoplace where needed, this was often undesirable, as it meant there would be no collision avoidance at all for the affected elements. But although it was possible to still adjust elements manually where needed, users sometimes felt that autoplace was getting in the way, preventing them from placing an element where they wanted. The Automatic Placement feature (autoplace, for short) was one of the great breakthroughs in MuseScore 3, providing collision avoidance that eliminates the need for most adjustments. Here is a demo of Single Note Dynamics in action ( click here, or on the image to listen on ): There are also options in View > Synthesizer > Dynamics to control the behavior of the facility in ways that allow it to work with a wide variety of other soundfonts. It works right out of the box for both new and existing score with the default MuseScore General as well as the new optional MuseScore General HQ soundfonts. Christian Collins, and the feature is now available. This task was undertaken by developer James Thistlewood and soundfont designer S. In order to support the new Single Note Dynamics feature, MuseScore needed to switch to an approach based on the use of continuous controllers, which was no small feat. MuseScore has always used the traditional MIDI approach to dynamics, where volume is determined by the initial velocity of the note and cannot be controlled after that. New features Single Note Dynamicsįor many years, one of the most requested features has been the ability for the volume of a single note to change over the course of its duration during playback - for a crescendo on a sustained note to gradually get louder, or for a fortepiano dynamic to suddenly decrease the volume of a note after the initial attack. Let’s take this opportunity to talk about some of the most notable changes. As of the time of publication of this post, 3.2.3 is the latest version, released on July 8, 2019. MuseScore 3.2 was released on June 25, 2019. If you haven’t been following MuseScore closely, you might be surprised to see how much has happened since the release of MuseScore 3 just six months ago. Some of these releases have been minor bug fix updates, but several have introduced significant new features as well.
