Musehub Musesounds.
Musehub's Musesounds is INFESTED with bugs. It's beyond belief.
Even the most elementary figures are often not expressed properly.
That the geniuses at Musecore allowed this premature release out the door can only be explained by wanting to expose it and eventually find monetization opportunities.
Few - if any- of these issues were present in V.3.
And there were tons of instruments.
The trade-off is beyond debate until the most basic problems are resolved.
Did I mention that NO ONE explained WHY Musehub needs ROOT Permissions?
That this is only whispered about is a deplorable security issue.
I purchased an expensive iMac after a two year wait. Exclusively for V4.
What an incredible disappointment.
The apologists at Musescore -and for Musescore- and their explanations are absurd.
Attached is a trivial example. One of a gazillion.
Nothing this simple EVER happened in V3.
List to to the unresolved E in the last measure of 1st Violins, and the return echo of the half note on beat 3.
No, Marc, No, Jo Jo , it's not a corrupt measure with an artifact.
That V4 was released with virtually ZERO MEANINGFUL QA is beyond doubt.
Does it have potential?
Yes.
But try finding a Musescore 4 Musesounds sample video with strings on Youtube doing anything other than slow tempo orchestration, heavy on half and multi-measure whole notes, and enough multi-instrument fog to disguise the problems.

Interesting that it is only the E and that duration. Any other pitch is fine.

Indeed.
It's absolutely amazing how many weird things happen that ruin a promising composing / listening experience.
The Bug List is astronomical.
Let's see if any of the Musescore Gurus have the integrity to respond to my opinion.

There has indeed been discussion about root access, and that the need for it might be going away. There are other programs on my computer that have the same access, without problem. So what.
Many of the things that seem to be bugs are caused by computers that don't meet the specs. Are there problems anyway? Sure. Ask yourself if you are trying to be part of the solution.

-> "So what?" Are you serious, uninformed, or both? Are you oblivious to the serious and grave issues root access can cause, not only with your device, but as a networked device?

Your comment is absurd.
Many of the things that seem to be bugs are caused by computers that don't meet the specs.
-> Yes. But I have a brand new -top of the line- iMac (as I stated), and there are an incredible amount of problems.
Your comment is thus irrelevant to my point, is it not?
Are there problems anyway? Sure.
Ask yourself if you are trying to be part of the solution.
-> I am a consumer, not a developer.
How is your comment relevant, other than as an armchair philosopher?
Are you yet another apologist ? Sincere critiques are IN FACT part of a potential solution.
Think it through, Socrates.

OK mister IT professional. I wither under your insults.
I also am a user. I'm trying to help people get MU4 running. I apologise for nothing.
Other than mention one instance of a font double note in playback, you haven't given any sincere critiques. The place where the developers check is in Github. Have you looked there to see if issues you have noted have already been posted? You can help there by adding your comments.
There is more to it than just having a powerful enough computer. There is also a certain amount of system adjustments that might need to be made. But you are an IT professional so I trust you'll figure it out.
I followed and participated the discussion about root access. Seems early issues were brought up by a Linux user. This is more of a problem on Linux. I spent a lot of time monitoring my network with the hub running, closed, and uninstalled. I watched as data flowed through the port that had been vacated by the Hub. It had to do with my Scarlett audio interface. I was unable to demonstrate to myself that just the possible presence of that access was a problem. I did that because no one in the discussions could verify just what the problem was. Just that there might be a problem. As it is, I only use the Hub every once in a while to check for updates. I don't leave it running. So yeah, big deal.
At the risk of sounding irrelevant, may I suggest that you think through why it is that you have such a poor attitude, and need to be insulting. Is this how decades as an IT professional has taught you to deal with people?
In order for someone to assist, we would need several things:
1) please create separate threads for separate problems
2) in each thread, post your actual score (not just [pictures or recordings) and precise steps to reproduce the problem (which notes you believe are being played incorrectly)
3) do so using respectful language
We're happy to help, but we do ask you treat the people helping you with respect by keeping the discussion well organized (separate threads), providing us with the information we need (actual sample scores), and keeping the discourse civil and not personal.
For the record, as open source software, MuseScore depends heavily on the contributions of the community at large, which means me, you, and everyone else here on the forum. There was a public alpha and beta period, but indeed, it would have been great had more community members participated in it to help find more problems. But it's never too late, which is why I encourage you to help out by providing the necessary information. We all help each other here!
