strum pattern sounds when played on score
So why is that when you listen to a guitar strumming part why is that the rhythm is played down all the time? is there a way to fix that. And is musescore 3 going to have up and down strumming put in automatically.
Comments
There are arpeggios up and down possible, and you have to apply them, MuseScore can't guess them. But arpeggios won't sound like real strumming anyway, too slow

I did that and it just sounds bad, like it sounds like it play the chord twice.
what about up and down bows in the articulation area?

Well, strumming is arpeggio, just quick. Bowing is just single note and more like fingering, describing how to play, not what sound to make

Oh ok. I also have a question about the tuning of the guitar on musescore 2 because when I've tabbed out a song from my list. the guitar sound from musescore is flat and is out of tune from the original song. Is musescore 3 going to have better instrument tunings

Check under 'View/Synthesizer' and make sure you are set to A=440Hz.
If it sounds wrong, I think your original recording might be off.
I have to adjust when working with many recordings, particularly older ones.

Then tell me jojo why in musescore 2 they have the strumming to be downwards for every chord played on a guitar. wouldn't it made more sense for them to automatically put it the up and down strumming motion to the guitar. Because naturally when strumming chords on a guitar that are in a row, you strum up and down.
With the development of musescore 3 happening this is one of the features that needs to be put in because when you listen to the song you've created with a strumming pattern just sounds bad and to me personally as a guitarist its unpleasant to listen to.

AFAIK MuseScore doesn't do strumming at all, not up nor down, it just plays notes and if there are multiple notes in a chord it plays that all at the same time.
You can arpeggiate chords and there are symbols for up and down and they do playback as such, but way too slow to be taken as strumming.

So in this case will musescore 3 have the up and down strumming for the guitar and also putting in the feature of allowing us to decide where we want the up and down strumming and not up/ down strumming to be in a score? This would be a great feature for a guitarist

Put in a feature request in the issue tracker to the right of the comments. Someone might decide to do something about it, especially since there are several plucked string instrument players contributing to code.
