Chrome OS Compatibility

• May 16, 2017 - 16:28

Many school districts in the United States and elsewhere use Chrome OS software, or chromebooks. My school district in particular dictates that every one of the students has one, and they are decently useful as well as portable. However, Musescore does not have a program format for it. It makes it difficult for me to transport two computers with me when I need to work on a piece, and further difficult to obtain instant feedback from my teachers and peers on my work.
I find it very valuable to be able to interact with others to critique my scores in real time and make desirable changes. It would be phenomenal to have a Musescore formatted for chromebook.

Bummer. Unfortunately, Chrome OS is from what I understand very limited as a development platform, so that it is probably not technically feasible to port a complex application like MuseScore voer to it. As it is, we are able to support Windows, MacOS, and Linux with the same basic source code because these systems are more substantially similar, and the Qt libraries allow us to write in a system-independent manner in most respects. Chrome OS just doesn't fit into this picture.
