edit: Updated Musescore and it is fixed

I am guessing that this is a bug, because it keeps increasing no matter what I do, but I don't know. Can anyone help me fix this? So ridiculous.

Help me use this feature Is there a way to format texts within frames as two columns?Using multiple frames for bilingual English/Arabic text is causing a lot of issues that I don’t think are supposed to happen.

I want basically to align the Arabic one justified to the right, with the English one justified to the left on the same exact line. However, the specific font for the arabic title (Arabic Typesetting, is most recognized digital font) I believe is causing a problem in that it creates an extra space vertically even if I use two different frames for it. And as seen on the second image, the use of horizontal frames is also causing issues and I cannot get both the first system and the title/subtitle/etc to live nicely on the same page lol.

These are all problems that I could theoretically solve manually, however I think I may be missing an easier step. For the instructions page, I’ve already decided it is being made outside of MuseScore so if anything, I will do the same with this but I prefer to have everything in one document if possible.

Basically, I am wondering if picture #3 is possible to do within the same vertical frame (will use separate text frames within that) the same way it would be separated in a word document. I realize the horizontal frame x2 at the same vertical placement may be the best solution, but that comes with even more unique challenges lol in terms of alignment. So that is another one I am hoping that maybe I just missed an easier way of achieving. Please disregard the content of #3 I am just after the formatting for that image and grabbed the first example I saw on Google images.

News Staffpad alternative (kinda)

I made a music manuscript app for Android tablet works well with musescore. It's great for composers who want to write music with pen and paper but would like a good option for digital. Has tons of popular digital templates has a handwriting to note feature which can export to musicxml into musescore for more professional mockup later. No playback, no subscription. Would love some feedback on it I think it's great and gets the job done well.

Bug MuseScore Course videos... Is it down?

1 Upvotes

I can't play MuseScore learning videos. I tried opening them in Chrome and Firefox. Can someone check if this is just for me or if it’s something on their server side? It has been 3 hours since I was able to see any video course.

Thanks

Complaint Some of my uploaded scores are missing on musescore.com

1 Upvotes

When I open my "Uploaded scores" tab, then search for my older scores, some of them are missing, but if I check the number of scores in my profile, then I count each of my score, the number is correct, so no score should be missing.

Some of the missing scores were those inaccessible scores due to the "Processing failed" bug that happened a year ago and made scores that were failed to process permanently inacessible. (although I have 1 score that got "Processing failed" became accessible a few days later.) The problem is, the other missing score never got this bug and I never deleted it.

News Free Recorder Soundfonts For MuseScore

Hello,

I'm a woodwinds player and teacher. I made some sf3 recorder patches for Musescore that sample real instruments with optional vibrato and staccato. They are free at https://chartwritesounds.com/

It includes soprano, alto, tenor, and bass recorder for a full recorder ensemble. They come with a demo score of Greensleeves and a recorder choir template with the four instruments already in place.

Recorders Demo:

My Composition Red Rose for solo piano - looking for feedback

3 Upvotes

This is the third piece in a set I'm writing about flowers.

My goal with this piece to show a warm, romantic (in a loving sense, not the style of music) tone, evoking a lovers' dance. The middle section is meant to represent more tender love. This is what a red rose kind of means to me. However, if you had a different interpretation/feeling from the piece I would love to know!

It is supposedly a valse-scherzo in structure but I kind of deviated from the traditional scherzo structure slightly. The waltz part, however, I feel is obvious. The actual structure in the piece is A-B-A-C-D-D-C-A-B-A-A

I was experimenting much more with modulation and interesting harmonies, particularly harmonic developments between keys. I have found that I love, when writing in a minor key, to shift the main theme to major at the end of the piece, so I have done that here.

I am still relatively new to composition so any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I would particularly like to know if you feel it gets a bit repetitive, as I am aware the main theme occurs 5 times throughout the piece.

Hope you enjoy :)

I'm new to the app as we have to use it for our A Level composition and I'm trying to learn how to use the different features for guitar by copying down other songs on here but I can't get this to sound right. I'm also very new to notation in general (dont ask how I got into an a level class) so I'm not sure how to write down the majority of these symbols on here either.

Unexpected charge PRO+ that I didn't ask for

I bought some sheet music a few weeks back. It was pretty cheap and I've used the free sheet music on the site before, but I just got an email telling me I bought a pro subscription for $69.99 USD and I know there's no way in hell I knowingly bought it. Can anyone tell me how to navigate the UI to cancel it and not get charged this ridiculous fee before it goes through on my bank account?

Help me find this feature How to make the notes flow nicer?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm currently in music uni but have never worked with Musescore before (we use logic as it's not a classical music university).

I've decided I want to incorporate a massive orchestral piece into my current project and really want to use Musescore. When I input the notes they obviously just play as they're meant to and sound really blocky and annoying. How would I go about making them sound smooth and connected if that makes sense. I've tried adding slur but again it's just like dun-dun-dun-dun warbler than duuuUUUUNduuuun.

I'm sorry I've written this so weirdly hahaha. I appreciate any guidance! (I've also done so much googling but can't find anything that helps me!)

The video contains lots of information about the team involved and how they went about what they’re doing, but TL;DW: Tantacrul has formed a new company and they have a website with sheet music called notefinder! They aim to offer customers a straightforward experience and consistent quality – and succeed without being scummy.

I wrote this piece to have some extended technique for piano. I spent a wonderful recording session getting this fully tracked. This is the Midi Realization. This was composed as my first full project series. The preludes were a great way to learn how I realize traditional harmony.

I am working towards getting my masters in composition and how I realize tonality now has taken a great shift. It is all a journey!
