MuseScore 3.0.2 Release

Today we are pleased to release MuseScore 3.0.2.

The main change in this release is the reinstatement of the plugin framework, which makes the most popular plugins work in MuseScore 3. Another important improvement is the new login page which appears when you use the Save Online feature. This redesigned page allows you to use Google and Facebook to sign in and to create a new account right in the editor.
