Hi all,

is there a DTD or an XML schema of some sorts available for the
MuseScore file format?

Thanks!

Is there a list/overview available of the different articulations / dynamics etc. that are interpreted during playback?

I was having the most difficult time trying to figure out how to have a score, or part, that had every measure numbered and rehearsal markings throughout. The problem I was having was that I could not remove a single measure number and insert a rehearsal mark. The result would end up with a rehearsal mark laid over the measure number, but that just looked wrong.Read more

Is there any documentation that can guide me on how to enter fret numbers along with the note type etc on to a linked Tab clef which will then create a corresponding note on the Treble Clef.

Hi.
Many times when I want to help someone, I want to refer them to the appropriate place in the handbook. I do this rather than write out the answer because I want to encourage personal research.

However, it seems to me that so many specific items are hard to find - for example "stretch". I did a search and went through the links but there was no reference to the handbook.

So I linked to some posts about stretch to get the newbie started.

How can I help make these links easier to find? Does anyone else want to collaborate?

Regards,

Hi!

I'm not sure if play panel should appear in the handbook page related to dynamics. I think that it's not the same the Volume than dynamics. Volume has to do with loud and soft. Is maybe a parameter wich you can use to adapt the music to the needings of a situation: High volume for a big place with lots of people, a low volume to allow people to speak despite the music... Dynamics has more to do with intensity and expresion. One way to show intensity is to play loud a sound, but there are other things like attack and articulation or sound colour on wich dynamics depend.Read more

A user just changed the English handbook pages (contents and titles) for "Getting Started" and "Basics" to a foreign language. I suspect it was an honest mistake, but you likely want to change them back.
