IMHO concerning the correct spelling of "MuseScore" I support this. Concerning the cliparts of composers - I like it (could imagine, they could change from one announcment to the next one (if not too elaborate/cumbersome)).
Will next release be 3.4?

These things are always subject to change, but here is a list of currently active pull requests that are currently targeted for 3.4: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milest…
Chance are most but not all of these will make it, but other changes will be added as well.

Yep, definitely most wanted by me.

Concerning chord playback. Maybe it's necessary and takes time to review the code, before commit it into a stable build. But I'm also curious to check this feature, so maybe it could be possible to offer a special development build for it.

As I said, it's subject to change, these are just the things identified so far. No sense filling up this thread dedicated to 3.3.3 with speculation about what is or is not or should or should not be in some future release.

You can try this one, although I'm afraid that it works only on Windows platform:

Why is it limited to Windows?
In reply to Why is it limited to Windows? by [DELETED] 1831606
I don't think it is, but the author only tested it there.
After a brief look at the plugin code, I don't see anything preventing use on other operating systems. It could be that you'll have to change the
import QtWebEngine 1.4

No, QtWebEngine 1.4 seems to be available in Qt 5.9 too, even 1.5
In reply to No, QtWebEngine 1.4 seems to… by Jojo-Schmitz
QtWebEngine is available in Qt 5.9, but apparently we don’t ship it ourselves on Windows we we don’t use it otherwise. So you need to install Qt yourself to use it.
In reply to QtWebEngine is available in… by Marc Sabatella
Sorry, can you explain it? Does that mean that the plugin does not work even on Windows computers without installing Qt? It works on mine only because I have somehow installed Qt on it? What a bummer. And I was so happy that it all worked good on the way as I designed it. Even, too good ...
Edit: if it does not work from musescore you can use it as an online tool (the link is given in the plugin description). However, it is more practical to use it from musical score in MuseScore.
In reply to Sorry, can you explain it?… by hstanekovic
On Windows currently, you need to install Qt and set things up to make your plugin use it. It would work without that extra step if you could find a way to avoid needing QtWebEngine. It’s possible a
future release of MuseScore might include that library on Windows by default. I guess it’s already installed on your system, or is needed by MuseScore on your OS and therefore comes bundled with the program.

Are you sure about that?
In reply to Are you sure about that? by Jojo-Schmitz
I’m sure it didn’t work for me without accessing my Qt installation, and I’m sure it works for others. Details as to why, I am just speculating on.

My mistake - I did try it on Windows at well, but I accidentally downloaded the plugin to the wrong folder, that's why it wasn't appearing the Plugin Manager list for me (same symptom as Linux). I hadn't actually tried the workaround on Windows or I'd have discovered the error sooner.
So based my own evidence, it works on Windows, fails on Linux (using the AppImage) due to the missing library.

Thanks for info!
In reply to Will next release be 3.4? by ecstrema
A much impressive choice than 3.4 would be 6.6.6. As a slogan, I suggest "MuseScore 6.6.6 - the Score of the Beast". :) :) :) Smile! I'm just having fun.
In reply to A much impressive choice… by Aldo
A half-a-beast is better than a full.
To be honest, I preferred the UI in Musescore 2. Some of the other new features are handy, especially the automatic score alignment, but I feel like the UI has taken a bit of a step backwards.
Especially for the mixer.
In Musescore 3.3.3 you can't even view the entire mixer at once. It won't let you shrink it enough for it to actually fit on the screen, unless you close the tab at the top which has most of the useful features in it.
There are other little things as well, like all of the UI elements taking up more space, but the mixer is the biggest issue. The new mixing-desk slider interface looks cool but is way too bulky and cumbersome.

I suppose so, yes. But on this same 15.6' screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, the mixer has trouble displaying itself in full on MS 2.3.2. With the same score.
So for me, MS 3 has made good progress in this area...

At the same time, it worsened for 4:3 displays like on my laptop (which is my main computer).
