An exam
Hello!
I made a test for classes using MuseScore. Musical language (Theory). It's also very useful for this.
0.9.6 - rev 2949M - Ubuntu 9.10.
Greetings.

Hi,
I think this is a good example of using MuseScore to create music related texts which are not strictly scores; I think any musician has to do that now and then and probably has to re-invent the wheel.
Note also that no exoteric feature is used (unless some of the features used is really obscure and I missed it ;-) ): only a wise use of staff text and Set Invisible are enough to get the job done.
usuariomuse: maybe you may want to comment on some specific 'trick' you had to use and was not obvious.
Thomas: Would it not be worth to store examples like these in a specific 'tricks of the trade' area of the site?
Thanks,
M.

There was a very nice tutorial to do this at : http://linuxmusical.com/combinar-texto-musica
It's unfortunatly in spanish (if you don't speak this language of course) but Google translate does an acceptable job on it.

Lasconic, thanks for reminding of that tutorial; I saw it and found it well done.
I was actually suggesting the idea of a site page or handbook section (on-line only, as it would be difficult to insert in the PDF version of the manual) where to collect examples of useful 'tricks'.
In many cases, like this, the .mscz file is enough: no need for a complex accompanying text (with translation problems). It could also contains links to external pages, like the one you quoted (with all the pro and cons of external link lists).
Thanks,
M.

Hi M,
I like the idea very much of collecting tips & tricks. I was waiting to reply until I had a clear view on real goal here, which is bringing tips & tricks to the attention of the MuseScore users. Right?
Currently, we keep track of external links using an account on delicious. At the start I envisioned to automatically pull these external links into musescore.org, nicely separated for each language, type of link, what version it relates to and so forth. But then again, I figured that there would be quite a lot of noise in this stream of links which would render it useless after a while. To make it really interesting and compelling to the MuseScore community, some editorial workflow would be required.
I like very much how the social aggregators (digg, stumbleupon, reddit) manage to crowd source the editorial aspect as well as the filtering (noise reduction) process. They let everyone post a short compelling message for an external link which can then be voted up or down by others. The popular ones are being featured on the homepage. Would the MuseScore community have critical mass to do something similar? Should it be focused around tips & tricks only or are categories required? And suppose this could work, next to being featured on the homepage, the most popular ones can also be send to Twitter & Facebook.
The easiest way to find out whether MuseScore users are really interested to get regular tips & tricks is by actually sending a few per week via twitter & facebook. What if we start with that?
In reply to Some thoughts on tips & tricks by Thomas
I would like to see these sent out on twitter. I think that's great idea.

We then need someone to take up the job to create these tips & tricks. This means a 140 character tip + a link to a webpage, a picture or a video, ...
In reply to Someone? by Thomas
Is this for one person or a team? Perhaps a few of us could work on this.

For the reference, a big resource of tips and tricks for MuseScore but in Japanese :)

Thanks for your comments.
As you say "no esoteric feature was used" ;- )) but MuseScore is so good and easy to use! In this case I used "Voice" as instrument. After writing the notes, select all the bar lines to hide with the "Select All Similar Elements" option via right click. The same applies for hiding rests. Do not forget to edit the style to not display the courtesy time signature and measure numbers; also space the distance between systems (in this case of a single staff). I added some vertical frames for some questions and gain extra space. I used staff texts for the the texts and also to enter text in the frames you can add Poet text.
But there is something that I wish MuseScore could do (for this type of "pieces") (or at least I don't know how to do it): an option to not display "courtesy" (that cancels) accidentals in key signatures changes.
Greetings.
In reply to Thanks for your comments. As by Maximiliano
Accidental-off naturals in key signatures are an issue also when chaining several independent (but related) pieces in the same score.
I tried to attract the attention to this details before (for instance here ), but with no luck so far; can we join to 'lobby'?

In reply to I know! by Miwarre
Sure! There are probably other priorities before, but I read the linked messages and it would certainly be very good MuseScore had this capability in future versions. It has applications not only in texts / music exams but there are also other arguments in its favor as other users have commented there. So I also support the request of this feature.
