MuseScore VS VeeSeeVSTRack

In case anyone is interested in the details, I am trying to infer the MuseScore MSCX format to ensure that my MusicXML => MuseScore generator at https://github.com/infojunkie/musicxml-mscx produces valid scores. I want to use all the supplied MSCX files in the repo https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore for inference.

It seems now is as good a time as any for people to try MuseScore [1], the FOSS alternative to Finale and Dorico.

For a shortcut, Musescore has a plugin called colornotes that does this, installable from the GUI. You can alter the color scheme by editing the .js plugin code: https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/blob/master/share/ext...

It can also print note names inside of each head.

In that case, please ask for help on the official Support forum on musescore.org where you can attach the score itself and people should be able to take a look.

If you continue to have trouble, best to ask for help on the official Support forum on musescore.org and attach your score along with precise steps to reproduce the problem, so we can understand and assist better.

Is this what also led to https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues/17663? If so I definitely urge you to spend the couple of minutes to test with a nightly build so we can known it is truly fixed for your case and not illustrate the other case that had been reported. As mentioned, testing nightlies is simple; they don’t interfere with normal installations at all.

Sorry, I don't know what "both buttons" means. There are buttons on the home page of musescore.org, buttons on the Download/Software page - both with and without Muse Hub - buttons for older versions, buttons for nightly builds, buttons for mobile apps, buttons within Muse Hub, probably others too. Please describe *exactly* what you are doing, step by step - the URL of the page you are on when you see the button, the text on the button you are clicking - and the exact text of the error you see.

Musescore seems to be the new standard

Not that I need to prove anything, but for anyone curious, here's a composition I created using the music notation software I help develop and support on my Chromebook. If you hit the play button on the composition, you'll hear the multitrack recording I created on my Chromebook as well, with my students singing the various parts. The piece was created for my online course teaching counterpoint, developed completely on my Chromebook. Here is a video from my most recent - the video is done from the Chromebook and the software managing the multicamera layout and screen share is software I developed on my Chromebook. And here is the online community I manage from my Chromebook.

There is also VeeSeeVSTRack https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack

Since some people don’t like the cathedral development style VCV rack uses, I point people to a fork of an older version of VCV rack with two features VCV rack 2 doesn’t have:

* It can run as a VST plugin, so one can use it with their favorite digital audio workstation (DAW)

* The code is BSD licensed

Here is that VST plugin fork: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads

Hete is an old VST port I found. Haven't used it in a while so I don't know if it's stable: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack

* The VST fork of VCVrack for a modular synth: https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads

I would get a keyboard controller with full sized keys and a 5-pin DIN MIDI out for just over $200, but that can come later.

Again, I prefer the fork at https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack#downloads because it’s a working VSTi, and because it’s under a BSD (not GPL) license, which has more flexibility in certain circumstances; I remember the arguments around 2001 or 2002 when there were concerns Python’s license was not “GPL compatible”, so I have always found GPL licenses pedantic.

Try vcvrack.com to get a handle on the basic principles.

I set up a drum beat and a pattern on a muted track to control this Eurorack simulator. https://vcvrack.com/

Since nobody else has mentioned it, you might want to try VCV Rack. It's a pretty good modular synth in software (bonus, it's free!). You can save and load complete patches, so it scratches that itch to recapture a complex configuration. Lots of good information in its dedicated subreddit.
