Musescore 4 laggy playback and laggy note input
I've been using musescore 4 to write a big band chart for my college jazz band to play, and it is proving to be quite difficult, as this software just doesnt work as efficiently as Musescore 3 did. The problem is I already ahve a good amount of work done in Musescore 4 and I don't want to have to redo everything in Musescore 3. Is there any way I can fix these issues so that I can finish my chart? For reference, My computer should have no problem running this software, the computer was built for high end gaming performance and audio production, I use Ableton to record things on a regular basis and run into no performance issues, so I don't see why a music notation software should be beyond my computer's capabilities.

It's not clear what problems you are having. You might need to change audio settings in your OS to make MU4 run well. https://musescore.org/en/node/339915

At this point i have experimented with every combination of buffer size and audio device, nothing seems to solve the issue.

The how to also deals with lowering Bit Rate and unchecking Exclusive mode.
There might always be a slight delay sometimes. You can (for example) select a note and hit play before you hear the selected note.

I just tried lowering the but rate and unchecking exclusive mode, but I am still getting a lot of choppy playback with the program. It seems to only playback smooth if I have the mixer open while playing back, but note input is still very laggy compared to musescore 3. I appreciate the quick responses though and hope Musescore can fix this through an update if there's nothing else I can do on my end.

My older laptop did this but not with 6 core 12 thread small gaming box. Seems the fix is get a bigger computer 500USD.
hello,
Same issue when i play orchstral music sheet like Tchaikovsky symph n° 4, laggy playback and sometimes the software freezes.
Go to Edit/preferences/ I/O .. then change tampon size to max. It worked perfectly for me (keep the mixer window open while in playback).

I know I should be watching my weight, but I do like a good buffet, especially at Christmas.

This has also recently become a problem for me too. Only during playback does everything on my computer become laggy, the mouse, the playback itself. The developers did an absolutely rotten job with the playback engine. Bring back the functionality of Musescore 3 please!

All I can say is that my new computer meets the specs needed for MU4. It plays even large scores just fine. The playback engine is the way it is so that Muse sounds work. At least on a system that meets the specs. There can be adjustments that need to be made.
