Customizable music fonts
I've been using musescore for 2 years and a bit more, and I've used other music notation softwares as well, and in most of them, users can modify the default music fonts with some font creation software, but in musescore that option is not available.
I feel that adding music font customization to musescore would be a small change but it could help a lot in the customization of our scores :D

Like a Finale style music shapes editor? I agree, that would be huge god send for contemporary music.
MuseScore has some build in SMuFL fonts that you can use already: see Style/Score/Musical symbols font.
As announced here https://musescore.org/en/4.5-and-beyond , MS 4.5 should have:
And thanks in part to the efforts of one of our community contributors, we'll be bringing the use of custom SMuFL fonts to 4.5.
You might think that is a small change, but it is not.

Does this mean that MuseScore in Ms3.7 users can access any SMuFL font installed as a system resource?
And that the same functionality should arrive in MS4.5?

At least pretty similar, currently the setup is different, but I'll try to amend 3.7 to that of 4.6, once the dust there has settled

Even if it is a lot of work, that shouldnt disuade from talking about it... Shuch flexability was why Finale was king in several industries, and there is clearly motivation to incorperate the best aspects of the software.

Great! So umm… how do you do it? I don’t see any buttons and/or options for editing or adding smufl fonts anywhere. I want to add/use the font Doremi which can be seen in use in the Musicnotes.com website in interactive scores. Can I get some instructions?
