Musescore 3 Evolution Features
This page lists some features MuseScore 3 Evolution has, which Mu4 does not (yet) have (and 3.6.2 doesn't either).
To be found in the Advanced preferences. Also a keyboard shortcut to toggle.
NEW: As of today (30 May 2024) the Mu4 import includes all style settings (which have a counterpart in Mu3), special kudos to @workdwideweary!
Known restrictions:
- Anything new in Mu4 (and not yet backported to Mu3) basically just gets ignored (e.g. 2- and 4-measure repeats, new style settings, etc.) and so get lost, but also may cause other issues (report them!).
- Parts are ignored, you'd need to generate and format them again.
- You'll see an "error" message like this:
This isn't really an error, so just hit "Ignore" (see also issue #173. - Saving a score online should work (it does for me), but apparently it doesn't for everyone, see issue #261, as a workaround use MuseScore 3.6.2 to do the upload.
How to use custom Scorefonts*)
- Create new directory 'ScoreFonts', on the same level as Scores, Plugins, SoundFont, etc.
- Check Edit > Preferences > Folders if path to ScoreFonts is correct (a space in the name causes problems in Linux)
- Get a SMuFL compatible font (e.g. Leipzig, Sebastian, Legato, etc.)
- Create a directory for each font with its name, e.g.:
├── legato
│ ├── Legato.otf
│ └── metadata.json - You need the font (.otf or .ttf) and a .json file. Rename the .json file to "metadata.json".
- Restart MuseScore.
- You should be able to select the newly installed font via Format/Style/Score/Musical Symbols Font.
- If there is no txt font available, you can always choose the text font from another package
- If there are spaces in the font name (e.g; Golden Age), remove them as this does not work under Linux.
e.g.:
├── goldenage
│ ├── GoldenAge.otf
│ └── metadata.json

AloisenU and AloisenGrooveU Fonts used in Overture. No official support for other apps. You’ll have to download the app to get the font, and no .json file os provided. A .json file can be downloaded here: https://notat.io/viewtopic.php?t=259&start=10 => but it does not work.
Try the attached ones:
-
- Allow fingering string text to affect which tablature string is attempted to apply on a linked staff/tab staff
- Make use of Capo Text in tab/linked tab scores. Still pending though, see #430 and its build artifacts.
