My GSOC Project Description

7 years ago • 0 comments

The project idea that I would like to implement is a start-up wizard for MuseScore. This idea stems from the idea of implementing keyboard layouts and shortcut management.

Some of these questions include a user’s language, keyboard layout or their level. We could then use this information to toggle settings and set up

It’s an exciting time for MuseScore at the moment, with massive changes underway both in the code and on the website, helping to ensure that musicians have the tools they need to create and share amazing content! However, there is one more thing that every budding composer needs: inspiration!

Hi,
I created the second video of the SoundBanks screencast. This one shows how I changed a SoundBank from a global setting to something that adds new Instruments. I also show how a SoundBank loads SoundFonts and that it can add new MidiActions that for example make MuseScore compatible with Native Instrument's Kontakt.
