MuseScore VS react-native-windows

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.

Microsoft is using React Native for Windows [0] for their Office applications [1]. As a fan of RN this would be the first avenue I’d explore if I had to develop something for Windows.

There's also MAUI (.NET) and React Native desktop.

Sometimes yeah they can become a real pain in the a$$. With RN you can make good looking and dynamic layouts with minimum effort. On the other hand when trying to implement logic my main and continuous issues I am facing is with the async parts . Apart from I am all in for RN . I am going to give it a try for a windows app with https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows .And if it works fine (which means you get your self away from C#) it will be a really powerful tool for me .

You can read more about it here: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/

at Microsoft, it's used a lot for brownfield scenarios, similar to react-native-windows: https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows

you sound more like a zealot than someone trying to make a point. you can deploy to desktop with react native and have been able to for years now, courtesy of Microsoft: https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/
