Top new features

Known incompatibilities with 2.0

  1. We have a new option in Staff Properties for tablature staves to allow fingerings in tablature. If this option is activated in 2.1, fingerings can be added to fret numbers, and fingerings attached to linked staves will be displayed in the tab staff. A file created with MuseScore 2.1 with this option activated will not show fingerings if opened with MuseScore 2.0.

  2. The text style for dynamics (which is used to automatically format text added to a dynamic, such as "sub.") is now italic by default. If a score created with MuseScore 2.1 using this style is opened in MuseScore 2.0, 2.0 will render the text without italics. If a score made in 2.0 has default, non-italic, text added to a dynamic, it will be displayed in italics in MuseScore 2.1.

  3. In MuseScore 2.0, the Instrument Change element allows you to change the sound for a staff mid-score, but the transposition is not handled correctly, nor does the change affect linked parts. This leads to scores that play back incorrectly if they display correctly, or display incorrectly if they play back correctly—or that do both incorrectly. For MuseScore 2.1, this is fixed—Instrument Change elements added to scores using MuseScore 2.1 will now transpose and affect linked parts correctly. A file that contains transposing Instrument Change elements created with MuseScore 2.0 will not automatically be fixed by opening it in MuseScore 2.1—it will continue to behave incorrectly with respect to either display or playback or both. However, if you remove the Instrument Change elements, correct any remaining errors, and re-add the Instrument Change elements using MuseScore 2.1, it should behave correctly for both display and playback. On the other hand, a score with transposing Instrument Change elements that works correctly in in MuseScore 2.1 will not continue to work correctly if opened with MuseScore 2.0. In general, the playback will be correct, but the display will be transposed incorrectly.

  4. Historical tablature support, particularly for lute, has been greatly improved and it comes with incompatibilities with MuseScore 2.0. Tablature scores from 2.0 should be mostly fine opened in 2.1; the only exception is that "10" will be replaced by "X" both in fret numbers and in string ordinals (needs clarifying—10 in standard tab is still 10), but opening a 2.1 file in 2.0 will cause severe issues if the score uses these new tablature styles.

  5. Multimeasure rests now automatically break on both sides of a measure with a fermata. If a score created in 2.0 has a multimeasure rest with a fermata hidden somewhere inside of it, when opening that score with 2.1 the multimeasure rest will be broken. If the user already manually broke the multimeasure rest to expose the fermata in 2.0, there will be no change opening it in 2.1. On the flip side, if a score is created in 2.1 with multimeasure rests automatically broken by fermatas, and then that score is opened and printed from 2.0, the fermatas won't appear.

  6. Courtesy accidentals added to a note tied to the previous measure will display in 2.1 but will not display in 2.0. Both versions will play this correctly.

  7. A problem with the playback of the Tenor Drums instrument was discovered after the release. These had no playback at all prior to MuseScore version 2.0.3; in 2.1, the drum 4 and spock drums do not play, either in scores created with previous versions of MuseScore or in scores newly created with 2.1. This can be fixed in either of two ways:
