Recorder fingering
Hi everyone
In this marvellous Musescore4 is it possible to have a recorder plugin to be installer,
as on the the previous versions?
Thank you for this so great tool for a musicien as well as a music teacher!

Which plugin exactly?

I suppose fbrunes's request is made for this plugin, and I wish to have a update since I do not how to code the plugin for musescore4.

I'm not yet using MS4 so I can't make an MS4 version of the plugin. It's a really simple plugin, only requiring access to a specialised text font, (as detailed in the plugin's page), so maybe an MS4 plugin writer could make a version.

I'm not sure I understand the crux of the problem, but having created 3 custom fonts myself that I use in my plugins, even in the Musescore 4 version (although I've now abandoned it to go back to the previous version), I don't see where the problem lies. But maybe I'm missing some detail. This post is over 2 years old...not sure if the OP is still interested.

I don't know whether MS4 can reference all OS fonts or only its own font.
The recorder plugin comes with a font to be installed in the OS.

In fact, I took a look at your plugin and I saw that it comes with a ttf font, exactly like the ones I created and that are installed on the system. If your plugin requires you to add text elements to which you can assign this font, there is no problem, Musescore 4 'sees' all the fonts installed on the OS, and can easily use them. At least, that's how it is here, both in Linux and Windows... I don't know about Mac.

Thanks, then it should be portable to MS4. The plugin adds the text elements and uses the recorder font.

Probably yes, as long as there is no incompatibility of some sort. I just noticed that we also have a new applicant for this plugin...I didn't see it before.

There is this issue with Saxy and Fiati fonts:

since 3.7 (except Linux and Windows 32 bit) and all 4.x
But I think the font used with this plugin did not have the same problem when i tried with 4.0.

To verify this (and maybe you already have), just insert any text element into a score created with Musescore 4, and see if the desired one is present in the list of available fonts. If it is present and is shown, there should be no problem. It could be that the plugin contains the 'infamous' 'cmd' method, and in this case it will be necessary to change some lines of code; otherwise it should be sufficient to introduce those few essential changes to make it work in the new version.

The plugin has 1 cmd("undo") which could be removed since this function could just be left to MS's GUI.

Modified like this it loads...some volunteer should try to install the font and see if everything works.

You just need a simple treble clef, (not a transposing instrument), with some notes in the recorder's range. The plugin and font do the rest of the work.

Woah, that's a quite a quick fix! Thanks everyone!
in my case I wanted to add a fingering to the treble clef's note.
sometimes I'd like to add the alto / bass fingerings as well, but it still helps me.
Sometimes I think I need to make a plugin for myself (or for everyone who needs) for educational purpose, as well as early music oriented notations...
need to look up for a reference.

Glad to see that if works. I don't know the fingerings for alto / bass recorders but this could be something that you add to the plugin.
