    Limitaciones conocidas de MuseScore 2.x

      Si bien todos los miembros del equipo de desarrollo hicieron todo lo posible para que el software sea fácil de usar y libre de errores, existen algunos problemas conocidos y limitaciones en MuseScore 2.x.

      Indicaciones de compás locales

      La característica de indicación de compás local, que le permite tener diferentes indicaciones de compás en diferentes pentagramas al mismo tiempo, es muy limitada. Solo puede agregar una indicación de compás local a los compases que están vacíos, y solo si no hay partes vinculadas. Al introducir notas a compases con indicaciones de compás locales, puede introducir notas normalmente a través del modo de Introducción de notas, pero copiar y pegar no funciona correctamente y puede provocar corrupción o incluso bloqueos. Los comandos de unir y divir están deshabilitados para los compases con indicaciones de compás locales.

      Reagrupar ritmos

      El comando Reagrupar ritmos command que se encuentra en el menú Diseño puede tener efectos secundarios no deseados, incluyendo el cambio de la nombres de las alturas y la eliminación de algunos elementos como articulaciones, glissandos, trémolos, notas de adorno y, esp. en deshacer, ligaduras de prolongación. Use esta herramienta con precaución en selecciones limitadas, para que pueda saber si se realizan cambios no deseados.

      Pentagrama de tablatura enlazado con pentagrama estándar

      Cuando se introducen acordes de notas múltiples en un pentagrama estándar en un sistema de pentagrama/tabulatura enlazado, las notas deben introducirse en orden desde la secuencia superior (primera) a la cuerda inferior para asegurar la correcta asignación del traste.

      Esta limitación no se aplica si se introducen notas directamente en un pentagrama de tablatura, o cuando se utiliza un sistema de pentagrama / tablatura no enlazado.

      Mezclador

      Cambiar la configuración en el mezclador que no sea el sonido no marca la partitura 'sucia'. Eso significa que si cierra una partitura, es posible que no aparezca la advertencia "¿Guardar cambios en la partitura antes de cerrar?". Cambiar los valores del mezclador tampoco se pueden deshacer.

      No es posible editar encabezado y pie de página de forma WYSIWYG. Los campos en Estilo → General... → Encabezado, Pie, Números son texto sin formato. Pueden contener HTML similar a la sintaxis, pero el estilo del texto, el diseño, etc. no se pueden editar con un editor WYSIWYG.

      Command line options

        You can launch MuseScore from the command line by typing

        • mscore [options] [filename] (Mac and Linux)
        • MuseScore.exe [options] [filename] (Windows)

        [options] and [filename] are optional. For this to work the MuseScore executable must be in %PATH% (Windows) resp. $PATH (Mac and Linux). If it is not, see Revert to factory settings for detailed instructions on how and where to find and execute the MuseScore executable from the command line on the various supported platforms.

        The following options are available

        -?, -h, --help
        Display help (doesn't work on Windows)

        Glossary

        The glossary is a work in progress—please help if you can. You can discuss this page in the documentation forum.

        The list below is a glossary of frequently used terms in MuseScore as well as their meaning. The differences between American English and British English are marked with "(AE)" and "(BE)", respectively.

        Acciaccatura
        acciaccatura.png A short →grace note which appears as a small note with a stroke through the stem. It is quickly executed and technically takes no value from its associated note.
        Accidental
        A sign appearing in front of a note that raises or lowers its pitch. The most common accidentals are →sharps, →flats or →naturals, but double sharps and double flats are also used. Also →koron, and →sori and other quarter tone accidentals. Accidentals affect all notes on the same →staff position only for the remainder of the measure in which they occur, but they can be canceled by another accidental. In notes tied across a →barline, the accidental continues across the →barline to the tied note, but not to later untied notes on the same →staff position in that measure.
        Anacrusis
        See →Pickup measure.
        Anchor
        The point of attachment to the score of objects such as Text and Lines: When the object is dragged, the anchor appears as small brown circle connected to the object by a dotted line. Depending on the object selected, its anchor may be attached to either (a) a note (e.g. fingering), (b) a staff line (e.g. staff text), or (c) a barline (e.g. repeats).
        Appoggiatura
        A long →grace note which takes value from its associated note. Its functions include: passing tone, anticipation, struck suspension, and escape tone.
        Bar (BE)
        See →measure.
        Barline
        Vertical line through a →staff, staves, or a full →system that separates →measures.
        Beam
        Notes with a duration of an →eighth or shorter either carry a →flag or a beam. Beams are used for grouping notes.
        BPM
        Beats Per Minute is the unit for measuring tempo. See →metronome mark
        Breve
        Brevis
        A double whole note or breve is a note that has the duration of two whole notes.
        Cent
        An interval equal to one hundredth of a semitone.
        Chord
        A group of two or more notes sounding together. To select a chord in MuseScore, press Shift and click on a note. In the Inspector, however, the word "Chord" only covers notes in the same voice as the selected note(s).
        Clef
        Sign at the beginning of a →staff, used to tell which are the musical notes on the lines and between the lines.
        Clefs are very useful for →transposition.
        Concert pitch
        Enables you to switch between concert pitch and transposing pitch (see Concert pitch and Transposition).
        Crotchet (BE)
        See →Quarter note.
        Demisemiquaver (BE)
        A thirty-second note.
        Duplet
        See →tuplet.
        Edit mode
        The program mode from which you can edit various score elements.
        Eighth note
        A note whose duration is an eighth of a whole note (semibreve). Same as a quaver (BE).
        Endings
        See →volta.
        Enharmonic notes
        Notes that sound the same pitch but are written differently. Example: G♯ and A♭ are enharmonic notes.
        Flag
        See →beam.
        Flat
        Sign (♭) that indicates that the pitch of a note has to be lowered one semitone.
        Grace note
        Grace notes appear as small notes in front of a normal-sized main note. See →acciaccatura and →appoggiatura.
        Grand Staff (AE)
        Great Stave (BE)
        A system of two or more staves, featuring treble and bass clefs, used to notate music for keyboard instruments and the harp.
        Half Note
        A note whose duration is half of a whole note (semibreve). Same as a minim (BE).
        Hemidemisemiquaver (BE)
        A sixty-fourth note.
        Interval
        The difference in pitch between two notes, expressed in terms of the scale degree (e.g. major second, minor third, perfect fifth etc.). See Degree (Music) (Wikipedia).
        Jump
        In MuseScore, "jumps" are notations such as "D.S. al Coda", found in the "Repeats & Jumps" palette.
        Key Signature
        Set of →sharps or →flats at the beginning of the →staves. It gives an idea about the tonality and avoids repeating those signs all along the →staff.
        A key signature with B flat means F major or D minor tonality.
        Koron
        An Iranian →accidental which lowers the pitch of a note by a quarter tone (in comparison to the →flat which lowers a note by a semitone). It is possible to use this accidental in a →key signature.
        See also →sori.
        Longa
        A longa is a quadruple whole note.
        Ledger Line
        Line(s) that are added above or below the staff.
        Measure (AE)
        A segment of time defined by a given number of beats. Dividing music into bars provides regular reference points to pinpoint locations within a piece of music. Same as → bar (BE).
        Metronome mark
        Metronome marks are usually given by a note length equaling a certain playback speed in →BPM. In MuseScore, metronome marks are used in Tempo texts.
        Minim (BE)
        See →Half note.
        Natural
        A natural (♮) is a sign that cancels a previous alteration on notes of the same pitch.
        Normal mode
        The operating mode of MuseScore outside note input mode or edit mode: press Esc to enter it. In Normal mode you can navigate through the score, select and move elements, adjust Inspector properties, and alter the pitches of existing notes.
        Note input mode
        The program mode used for entering music notation.
        Operating System
        OS
        Underlying set of programs which set up a computer, enabling additional programs (such as MuseScore). Popular OSes are Microsoft Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux.
        Not to be confused with a sheet music →system.
        Part
        Music to be played or sung by one or a group of musicians using the same instrument. In a string quartet, 1st part = Violin 1, 2nd part = Violin 2, 3rd part = Viola, 4th part = Cello, in a choir there might be parts for soprano, alto, tenor and bass. A part has one or more →staves (e.g. Piano has 2 staves, Organ can have 2 or 3 staves).
        Pickup Measure (also known as an Anacrusis or Upbeat)
        Incomplete first measure of a piece or a section of a piece of music. See Measure duration and Create new score: Pickup measure. Also Exclude from measure count.
        Quadruplet
        See →tuplet.
        Quarter note
        A note whose duration is a quarter of a whole note (semibreve). Same as a crotchet (BE).
        Quaver (BE)
        See →eighth note.
        Quintuplet
        See →tuplet.
        Respell Pitches
        Tries to guess the right accidentals for the whole score (see Accidentals).
        Rest
        Interval of silence of a specified duration.
        Re-pitch mode
        Allows you to rewrite an existing passage of music by changing the note pitches without altering the rhythm.
        Semibreve (BE)
        A whole note (AE). It lasts a whole measure in 4/4 time.
        Semiquaver (BE)
        A sixteenth note.
        Semihemidemisemiquaver (Quasihemidemisemiquaver) (BE)
        An hundred and twenty eighth note.
        Sextuplet
        See →tuplet.
        SFZ
        A virtual instrument format supported by MuseScore (along with →SoundFonts). An SFZ library consists of one or more SFZ text files, each defining a particular instrument setup, and many audio sound samples.
        Sharp
        Sign (♯) that indicates that the pitch of a note has to be raised one semitone.
        Slur
        A curved line over or under two or more notes, meaning that the notes will be played smooth and connected (legato).
        See also →tie.
        Sori
        An Iranian →accidental which raises the pitch of a note by a quarter tone (in comparison to the sharp which raises it by a semitone). It is possible to use this accidental in a →key signature.
        See also →koron.
        SoundFont
        A virtual instrument format supported by MuseScore (along with →SFZ). A SoundFont is a special type of file (extension .sf2, or .sf3 if compressed) containing sound samples of one or more musical instruments. In effect, a virtual synthesizer which acts as a sound source for MIDI files. MuseScore 2.2 comes with the SoundFont "MuseScore_General.sf3" pre-installed.
        Spatium (plural: Spatia)
        Space
        Staff Space
        sp (abbr./unit)
        The distance between two lines of a normal 5-line staff. In MuseScore this unit influences most size settings. See also Page settings.
        Staff (AE)
        Stave (BE)
        Group of one to five horizontal lines used to lay on musical signs. In ancient music notation (before 11th century) the staff/stave may have any number of lines (the plural of 'staff' is 'staves', in BE and AE).
        Step-time input
        MuseScore's default note input mode, allowing you to enter music notation one note (or rest) at a time.
        System
        Set of staves to be read simultaneously in a score.
        See also →Operating System (OS).
        Tie

        A curved line between two or more notes on the same pitch to indicate a single note of combined duration:

        • Quarter note + Tie + Quarter note = Half note
        • Quarter note + Tie + Eighth note = Dotted Quarter note
        • Quarter note + Tie + Eighth note + Tie + 16th note = Double Dotted Quarter note

        See also →slur.

        Transposition

        The act of moving the pitches of one or more notes up or down by a constant interval. There may be several reasons for transposing a piece, for example:

        1. The tune is too low or too high for a singer. In this case the whole orchestra will have to be transposed as well—easily done using MuseScore.
        2. The part is written for a particular instrument but needs to be played by a different one.
        3. The score is written for an orchestra and you want to hear what the individual instruments sound like. This requires changing the transposing instrument parts to concert pitch.
        4. A darker or a more brilliant sound is desired.
        Triplet
        See →tuplet.
        Tuplet
        A tuplet divides its next higher note value by a number of notes other than given by the time signature. For example a →triplet divides the next higher note value into three parts, rather than two. Tuplets may be: →triplets, →duplets, →quintuplets, and other.
        Upbeat
        See →pickup measure.
        Velocity
        The velocity property of a note controls how loudly the note is played. This usage of the term comes from MIDI synthesizers. On a keyboard instrument, it is the speed with which a key is pressed that controls its volume. The usual scale for velocity is 0 (silent) to 127 (maximum).
        Voice
        Polyphonic instruments like Keyboards, Violins, or Drums need to write notes or chords of different duration at the same time on the same →staff. To write such things each horizontal succession of notes or chords has to be written on the staff independently. In MuseScore you can have up to 4 voices per staff. Not to be confused with vocalists, singing voices like soprano, alto, tenor and bass, which are better viewed as instruments.
        Volta
        In a repeated section of music, it is common for the last few measures of the section to differ. Markings called voltas are used to indicate how the section is to be ended each time. These markings are often referred to simply as →endings.
