Request: Tests of Musescore 2.0 on WINDOWS 10
My update of Windows 10 is currently ready, but I have been hesitating to click the button because I'm afraid some of my software won't work with the new system.
Some of my favorite and commonly used software are DevC++, Adobe CS6 Series, Hearthstone, Google Earth, Cabri 3D, GeoGebra, Reaper
uhm... the point is AND OF COURSE MUSESCORE!!!!!!!!
Afraid that if I update to 10 they won't work.
Hope if any users have already tested?
Thanks a lot!

I installed Windows 10 on my Desktop PC the first day it was rolled out. I can't speak to any of the other specific software you use (except Google Earth), but MuseScore 2.0.2 is behaving exactly as it did with Windows 8.1.
FWIW, that's true for all software I presently use. Installation of Windows 10 was fast and problem-free, and I've encountered zero problems of any kind since installation. YMMV.
Also - if one doesn't like Windows 10 for some reason, it's possible to revert to the previous version of Windows during the first month of use.

Does Win 10 come with Windows Media Player? I love the adjust tempo function and will miss it if Player isn't packaged.

I don't want to offer inaccurate or incorrect or incomplete information, and there may be no reason to assume that anything about my particular installation has general applicability to what others will find for themselves.
I suggest you search out specific Windows 10 features and functions on both official Microsoft sources and in third-party reviews.
I have Windows 10 downloading on my second PC as I write.
Once I have it installed I will report back.

I have found no issues so far. A new install of MuseScore 2.0.2 has been running fine on the Windows 10 machine with no problems so far.
Both PortAudio and JACK audio options are working and MuseScore is communicating with third party software via the LoopBE MIDI connection.
I haven't tested LoopMIDI, but on the present record I'm not expecting problems.
If anything latency is better under Windows 10 than it was with Windows 8.1.
I am just about to take the plunge and install it on my main machine.
Hi,
Same here, upgraded to Windows 10 no issue so far with the software I am using.
MuseScore 2.0.2 working like it did when I was using Windows 8.1
Only not so nice issue I found is the ugly white title bars used by Microsoft and the ability not to change this easy. However many links on the internet to how to change this.
O...just remembered I had a small thing with Windows Live Mail 2012. After the upgrade it seems that something was adjusted so it did some re-install (automatic) and after this it did not work anymore. However after a reboot it worked fine.
Enjoy Windows 10!
Musescore worked fine for me on Win10 until it started crashing. It corrupts files randomly that I am currently working on. I'm not sure why, but it tells me that it cannot recover any of it. :-( Just something to be vigilant about.

Seems unlikely that's a Windows 10 issue - probably something about the specific score you are working on or the exact sequence of operations you are trying to perform. If you figure out a way to reproduce the problem, you should start a new thread in the support forum and attach a score and precise steps to reproduce the problem so we can investigate.
Forget Windows!!!
Move your PC to Linux (Ubuntu, to be more specific).
It's possible that your today software won't run under Linux (even the fact that exists something call "Wine" which should create the compatibility ground to run almost any Windows software with Linux), yes, it is possible.
But... there should be software, free software, to do what you need to do into Linux free world (maybe better solutions than you have today).
Greetings & Blessings from Chile!!!!!!!

Move your PC to Linux........
Then wait 3 times as long for new versions of MuseScore because of the nightmare software upgrade system!

@jotape I applaud your enthusiasm for Linux, but please don't hijack threads that are about Windows support.

+1 to that. Life's short enough without having to cope with OSs whose names end in X (and yes, I include Windows 'X' in that set of OSs).

Yikes, shots fired! Settle down—that conversation was over half a year ago, anyway. ;-)
*Possible Issue*
I moved my PC from windows 7 to windows 10 a few weeks ago, and have maybe 8 to 12 hours of Musescore 2.02 entry time on the clock in that period, working on maybe 6 to 10 different scores. I had a few annoyance issues with W10, all of which I have (hopefully) resolved, but I have had a certain issue pop up twice. I have no idea if it's related to MuseScore or Windows, so I'm not calling this a bug report, just an FYI:
Work Flow/Issue Description:
1) Work on a MuseScore score, saving it multiple times, especially at the end before closing.
2) Go to work on the score the next day (while noticing an extra oddly named file in the folder), and when the score is opened the most recent changes to the score are not present.
3) Open the oddly named file, which turns out to be the last saved version of the score, no work has been lost.
4) The oddly named file's name starts with something like "C:/Music/..the pathname to where the file is stored...".
Sorry I didn't take detailed notes or record the exact file name; if it happens again I will take notes & post on this forum before changing anything. Previously I just archived the not-up-to-date file, renamed the other file, and continued working.
In reply to *Possible Issue* I moved my by marty strasinger
The issue has happened again, only difference is that the "correctly named" score is identical to the "oddly named" score; both seem to have all the most recent changes that I made; no work lost.
I'll attach both here.
I'm assuming that the oddly named score was created when I saved my work & exited MuseScore earlier today.
The "desired" file is the one named "Si Puo orch" (to distinguish it from the piano reduction version).
In reply to The issue has happened again, by marty strasinger
The "oddly named" version is what MuseScore creates for you when you start up after a crash and you say yes when it asks if you want to restore your previous session. It's basically the last autosave copy of your file from before the crash, renamed.
Marc,
Thanks for the info. Is that a new feature? I don't recall seeing it before, but then my memory is far from perfect.
In reply to Marc, Thanks for the info. by marty strasinger
I'm not sure when this started being the case.
I have also had notification that my PC is now ready to install Windows 10 from Windows 7. My version of Musescore is 1.3, and I have a major work on it that is nearing completion. Will the 1.3 version run on Windows 10, or should I wait until I've finished this composition?
In reply to I have also had notification by bernardnewman
I see no reason to believe MuseScore 1.3 not to run on Windows 10
Thanks for everyone's comment, and sorry for being too busy recently preparing for a big exam in next January.
I've updated to WIN 10 and it's all working fine. I'm using ASUS X550V.
BTW one annoying point (not musescore) is that Adobe Audition 6.0 doesn't work, which means I had to find other ways to mix my sound files emerged from musescore(Since I've been rearranging songs into windband). (CRY QQ)
In reply to Thanks for everyone's by Harlos Music
I recommend Audacity . Here's a side-by-side comparison with Adobe Audition: http://sound-editing.softwareinsider.com/compare/1-2/Adobe-Audition-CC-…
In reply to I recommend Audacity. Here's by Isaac Weiss
Sorry, but IMHO Audacity has a horrible, 100% non-intuitive GUI and I would only recommend it to my very worst enemies. Something like Reaper or Ableton are MUCH easier and simpler to use.
The so-called 'side-by-side comparison' of Audition and Audacity omitted to mention what a royal PITA it is to attempt to use Audacity to do multi-track mixing of any sort, let alone trying to find any useful effects etc. to use on one or more tracks (assuming you remembered to — separately —download and install each effect in the first place?).
Audacity is (again IMHO) maybe suitable for teaching beginners how to record one channel (or one stereo channel) of audio and do very basic cut/paste editing, but nothing more than that.
Maybe my opinion is because I lack the propeller sticking out from the top of my head which seems to be required in order to be able to use and (shudder) like Audacity?!!
Your mileage may vary …
In reply to Sorry, but IMHO Audacity has by PenAndCad
All I can say is I <3 Audacity. Not as much as I <3 MuseScore, but still. And I'd be happy to share my own library of effects with you.

Hi all, I've had this notification from Musescore:
X has sent you a message via your
contact form at MuseScore.
Does anyone know how I access the 'contact form'. I've looked all over (a man look) and can't find it!
Thanks
In reply to Hi all, I've had this by onscuba
Click on my username above, and you'll find my contact form. It's the same for anybody else.
In reply to Click on my username above, by Isaac Weiss
Actually a button 'Send a message', and a contact form after having pressed that button.
In reply to Actually a button 'Send a by Jojo-Schmitz
Sorry I was a bit obtuse in my question. I have sent a message to someone in this thread using the "send a message" button. They have replied (Musescore informs me) but I can't find the 'form' where their reply is.
I have clicked on the users name again but saw no reply form. I've looked on my 'profile' and can't see it either.
In reply to Sorry I was a bit obtuse in by onscuba
Look in your email.
It should be in there.
In reply to Sorry I was a bit obtuse in by onscuba
If I am understanding correctly:
The email you got that says someone replied using the form *is* the message they sent you - they message they sent should appear directly directly below the part about using the form. In other words, the form is *how* they contacted you, but it isn't anything you need to access yourself. Everything you need is right there in the email itself.
