Other than bug fixes (so scores that looked wrong in previous versions will look correct now), there should be no differences in layout. As for portable, do you mean the Windows "portable app"? Or the Linux AppImage? I don't know much about the former, I think they haven't been updated as often but that's hopefully changing. But the Linux AppImage is the only version one should really ever use on Linux - it's the only one we build and support ourselves.

I guess I should not have forsaken the portable version. That plugin bug. The con about that version, though, is that I my I have to literally find my scores in the file manager because it is not in the start center, and of course my plugins, which is bad.

That is how PortableApps work. You need to install your plugins inside there "realm" and set preferences for scores differently to get to a our existing scores

Ok. It is not very easy to find the PortableApp, though, unless you create a score or something. I would probably have to INSTALL it again because the PortableApp folder is not there. Hopefully, I would not have to deal with this mess for the upcoming stable version... :-(

Hello JoJo!
Not wishing to deviate from this topic however, as I contact in a previous topic I come to inform you that, all plugins both native and others are working normally.
Do you remember that some plugins we mentioned that fixed in the background?
Now they are normal.
I'm reporting for collaboration issue ok.
Thank you...
Bug in 3.5.0-RC-x86_64.AppImage: When I insert something like 1^ using the Nashville Number chord insersion (Add--Text--Nashville Number), I see the triangle symbol but not the number "1" that should precede it.

I can't reproduce this - it works as expected for me. Do you perhaps have an older version of the Campania font installed on your system? Remove it if so.
If that doesn't help, please attach a score demonstrating the issue.

Good morning everyone!
Could you guide me how to use these new features or where can I find more details:?
* Shift + L / R changed to leading space in edit mode in the header
* All symbols are now available for plugins
Thank you!
回复mjbartemusica1的Good morning everyone! Could…
The first is for cases when you need to creating uneven spacing within a measure or otherwise alter the normal default spacing between specific notes. This has always been possible by selecting a note and increasing the “leading space” adjustment in the Inspector. Now, it is also possible by double-click the note to put it Edit mode, then using Shift+Left or Shift+Right to move it. Without Shift, this continues to only move that note without changing the overall spacing.
The second is only relevant if you are writing plugins, but for more information, probably better to ask on the Plugins forum.
回复Marc Sabatella的The first is for cases when…
Hello Marc!
You wrote: "Now, you can also double-click the note".
Clicking only once it is no longer in edit mode, am I wrong?
I performed the procedure as you taught me, see if it is correct:
I select the note (turns blue), hold the Shift key and press L or R.
Only in my case nothing happens, the note does not move anywhere, it remains static. What should I be doing wrong?
Thank you!
回复mjbartemusica1的Hello Marc! You wrote: "Now,…
No, as I said, you need double click to enter edit mode. Then, as I said, Left or Right in their own move the note only (same as the Offset adjustment in the Inspector), with Shift it changes the spacing (same as Leading space adjustment in Inspector). Neither are things the average user would ever need to do.
回复Marc Sabatella的No, as I said, you need…
Hello Marc!
Have users successfully performed this procedure?
I'm sorry I did everything for me these shortcuts don't work! I use Windows 10 and continue to use the Inspector.
Do we have to create this shortcut in "Preferences" / "Shortcuts"?
If so, how is it written in the list?
As in all procedures, which menu bar is this tool in?
Much obliged...
回复mjbartemusica1的Hello Marc! Have users…
It definitely works exactly as I described. Again, to be 100% clear:
1) double-click any note. be sure you see the words "edit mode" at the bottom right of the status bar to confirm you successfully did it
2) press Shift and the right cursor key
Result: additional leading space is added before the note.
回复Marc Sabatella的It definitely works exactly…
I understand perfectly.
But see what is guiding above in the explanations:
Shift + L / R changed to space on the left in edit mode in the header.
I understood that pressing Shift + the letters L or R, you taught correctly:
2) press Shift and the right cursor key.
This should be written above to avoid doubts ...
Very grateful once again.
回复Marc Sabatella的It definitely works exactly…
Marc, don't know if you have anything to do with this, but it would be nice if the forums allowed movie attachments other than just gifs. I know attachments have a limit of ~5Mb. That would be plenty for short movies (mp4) explaining a bug or needed enhancement. Gifs are very clumsy to put together.
Just an idea.
回复odelphi231的Marc, don't know if you have…
I don't have any involvement with managing the forums. But, it's easy enough to upload to YouTube or wherever and put a link here for the (very few) times a movie ends up being easier for us than a text description.
BTW, GIF's can be clumsy if you don't have software optimized for this, but there are definitely tools out there that make the job about as easy as anything else. I've used ShareX and Screencastify successfully.
回复Marc Sabatella的I don't have any involvement…
Thanks. I have a screen capture movie program that does mp4's great but is clumsy doing Gifs.
回复Marc Sabatella的I can't reproduce this - it…
I don't see the Campania font on my system. I tried creating a score from scratch and entered a nashville notation number, but the same thing happened: the number is invisible, but everything after the number is visible. See image. I entered 1^ and 27b5, but the 1 and 2 are not showing.
回复Marc Sabatella的I can't reproduce this - it…
Attached is a simple score. in the 2nd and 3rd measures I entered 1^ and 2m7 as Nashville Notation, but for me on Linux using the 3.5 RC appimage, I only see the triangle (major 7th) character and the m7, not the 1 and the 2.
Also, I'm seeing a strange plus sign and rest in the first measure that I cannot delete. Weird. Do you see that?
回复DrumDog79的Attached is a simple score…
I was able to delete the first measure with ctrl-del, but the other problem remains.
回复DrumDog79的Attached is a simple score…
That plus sign indicates that this measure has more beats than the time signature says.
The "1^" looks the same, in MuseScore 3.4.2 on Windows 7, a plain triangle, the "2m7" looks the same too, "m7". So there is no issue with 3.5RC for sure, as it looks exactly the same there. Switch from Jazz style to normal style and it looks like you want it to look:
回复DrumDog79的Attached is a simple score…
Very strange. It actually works fine with either FreeSerif or MuseJazz Text in a score created with other settings at the default. And it works fine if I change the chord symbol style to Jazz. But it fails in a score created from the Jazz Lead Sheet Template. Not sure what exactly is triggering this, but since I can reproduce, I can investigate further.
BTW, Campania isn't actually relevant, that's for Roman numeral analysis. Sorry for the red herring.
回复Marc Sabatella的Very strange. It actually…
And it doesn't seem to be a 3.5 regression, same issue in 3.4.2

Portable apps are a special thing you can download to a flash drive and carry with you so you can run MuseScore on any computer without needing to install it. It's useful for teachers who need to run MuseScore on computers that admin won't allow it to be installed on, people wanting to run MuseScore on library computers, etc.
Whenever I am writing for marching band, I keep coming back to the realization that we have no real marching baritone. I may be wrong, but the only thing we have that is a baritone is the baritone horn and baritone sax. will we be getting an actual marching baritone any time soon?
回复MusicMasterTMH的Whenever I am writing for…
Can you explain what you mean by this? Do you mean you want a soundfont that contains a sample of a marching baritone? Probably those exist and can be downloaded and installed, but since that instrument isn't part of the General MIDI standard, there is currently no way for us to provide it by default. Or maybe you are saying that you want to set up a staff with the name, clef, and transposition as appropriate? That's already possible..
回复Marc Sabatella的Can you explain what you…
More of just an instrument in the selection that isnt a horn and is a baritone. so that i don't have to add a second trombone and rename it to baritone
回复MusicMasterTMH的More of just an instrument…
I guess I'm confused. How would this differ from the baritone horn that is already present if you search for "baritone"? What about the instrument you refer to is distinct from a horn?
回复Marc Sabatella的I guess I'm confused. How…
OK. I looked up the difference between Baritone and Marching Baritone. They are the same instrument, except the Marching Baritone is played more like a Flugelhorn and the Baritone is played more like a tuba. I can see why you would want a Marching Baritone when you are marching. They are both Bb transposing instruments and sound the same.
Sounds to me like someone who would want a soundfont for a Bluthner Piano rather than a Bechstein.
回复MusicMasterTMH的Whenever I am writing for…
Please explain to me also, what you mean by marching baritone. My brother played Baritone in high school and I didn't know there was a difference (soundwise) between Baritone and Marching Baritone. Does Marching Baritone transpose differently than Baritone?
I LOVE PORTABLE SOFTWARE! Indeed, I use portable MuseScore 2.3.2 much more than the installed version of the program. I regard portable solutions as much more smart than installed ones. So, many thanks for this new version, I just downloaded the zip and I'm going to test it right now.

What about portamento playback though?
回复nikolito的What about portamento…
Certainly not for 3.5.0 (see also #127341: Add Glissando playback style portamento)
I wonder if I can install this version and have the previous one as well, because I'm afraid for influences in my scores and specially to the mixer like those that chances in instruments when I add soundfonts... Is it safe for my existing scores?
