Download and run MuseScore 3.7 Evolution
Hello,
can anyone direct me where to download the last version of MuseScore 3.7 Evolution?
I'm on Linux Mint 21.3
I would like an AppImage, if that's possible. Or a "normal" install instruction.
Thanks in advance,
Pentatonus

Sorry this doesn't help me at all. I clicked on "Actions" and "CI_Linux" but can't figure out how to download the program!

Dear Jojo-Schmitz, is there any chance for GSoC project Chord editor be merged with MuseScore Evolution? It's a shame that it won't be used. Best regards.

That is based on master, after 3.x got split off, and does use its infrastructure and has 60 commits. So probably impossible, at least very difficult to backport

I've now copied that document to https://github.com/Jojo-Schmitz/MuseScore/wiki/
As of today 3.7 also fully imports all style settings from Mu4 score (all that exist in Mu3 too or have a decent counterpart), special cudos to @worldwideweary to spot the bad bug of mine that prevented it from happening before.

To make musescore 3.7 downloading easier, there is a free download site for open source projects that you may want to try.
Musescore.org uses this site for “direct link” downloads without musehub. I don’t know anything else about the site.
Maybe you can then have a static link that always works.

If I hold the windows download “direct link” link, I can see the popup with the link. I only found out about the site due to the musescore.org link.
Also, go to the windows download page, don’t accept the download. Look for the “direct link” words. Press and hold it down (using an iPhone). Select copy link. I get this:

@TDYama
Thank you for explanation.
Before reading your explanation, I read the source code of
https://musescore.org/en/download/musescore.msi ,
and larning how it work jsDelivr, so I noticed my mistake.
I'm sorry and thanks!

I'm sorry!
It seems that jsdelivr is used in https://musescore.org/en/download/musescore.msi .
I understand how it work "jsDelivr".
So I deleted previous my post.

I understood how jsDelivr works, but the essence of the problem does not seem to change.
jsDelivr support GitHub repository, but it seems there does not present a way to find(or search) the latest and the certain Artifact within Actions and generate for the URL.
I think that someone need to create a script that does this.
Do you know any good solution about this?

I don’t know. I posted it to give the information.
I think as long as someone can download without a GitHub account, and there is a link to post here, that always points to the current download, that would be fine. The current artifacts are difficult to find.
In reply to I don’t know. I posted it… by TDYama
If you follow the step-by-step instructions then the artifacts are easy to find and install.

There is the possibility that third party sites deliver malware. It's just not worth it. Much better to use GitHub and follow the 5 min simple instructions.

I didn't know jsDelivr until a few hours, but it seems that its service is well-known as CDN.
Therefore, The possibility of software being infected with malware on that site might be low.
However, it is certainly safer to download from GitHub.
It might be a matter of balancing safety and convenience.

Yes, if the person already have a GitHub account.
If not, it might be cruel to make the person create an account for GitHub just to download Evolution.
The advantage of distributing outside site of GitHub is that the person don't need a GitHub account.

Of course! (Forgot about needing a GitHub account). jsDelivr looks very interesting and does appear to be safe. How do we go about making MS3.7 deliverable via jsDelivr? Can it package the artifacts as an installation file?

Some type of request is needed to have large files like musescore on Jsdelivr. That is something to overcome. Musescore 4.3 is available there so it should be possible. There are suggestions on how to get a specific GitHub file that could help.
https://www.jsdelivr.com/documentation
In the nightly build script, it could be possible to put a copy of the finished file in a separate public repository with a name like ms3_7_win.msi. Then, a link can given out.
Jojo knows more than I do.

So I think it will be difficult with just jsDelivr.
I thinks the script(automatic link generator) is needed. Because Artifacts of Evolution is updated frequently, so its URLs is also updated frequently.

It seems possible that the GitHub supports automatic upload via ftp. There are some “free” ftp services available.
Musescore is using OSU open source ftp. Musescore 3.7 is open source and may qualify. Maybe free.

Worth asking.

I think the distribution mechanism should be simple.
Rather than using other FTP service, I think it is simple and more reliable to copy Artifact to a specific directory on GitHub repository when GitHub Actions successfully generates Artifact.
I think jsDelivr can get the latest Artifact from the certain URL for that directory.
In any case, I'm not an expert on jsDelivr and GitHub Actions, so I'll leave it to someone who is.

I did (I believe) everything correct during the installation, but "Double-click the file to run MuseScore 3.exe" file, the system is starting to do something, but stops after a short moment and nothing happens. I stopped already the defender – but no change.
What shout I do as next step?
Thanks, and regards kh

Hi, Jojo,
I wanted to try Evo, because of the cloud-update problem with Mu3.6.x, but I was not able to login. The credentials are o.k., but the form returns to its initial (blank) position instead of step into my account dashboard. What else can I try?

Hi, just for the reassuring closure and for future reference, I can say that finally I found a solution. I had to delete all session-related information from the ...\QtWebengine\Default folder on the user's local MuseScore path (i.e.: c:\users...\appdata\local\musescore...)
The logon was seamless after this.

Thanks for comming back on this.
I guess reverting to factory settings would have done that too
