musescore-downloader VS Tenacity

I love this kind of behind-the-scenes, in-the-weeds video, and it's well done.

Unfortunately, the incident with a Muse Group director openly blackmailing an open source developer [1] [2], threatening to have him deported to China while specifically calling out his public criticism of the CCP with a disgusting "who knows how he may be received"—well, to say that this incident leaves a bitter mark in my memory would be an understatement. I am happy to be using other free software for my engraving and playback needs, and with Tenacity just recently having published its first stable release, I'm eager to drop Audacity, too.

Truth be told, I was never a heavy MuseScore user, but I have used Audacity regularly for decades. This turn saddens me, but it matters to me how those I support use their power, and threatening someone's life over an audio program is bullying more severe than that which I can condone.

I recently discovered that [https://musescore.org](MuseScore) (not free) has an incredible GreaseMonkey script that easily bypasses their paywall. It has worked a bunch of times for me in the last few days: https://github.com/LibreScore/dl-librescore

Someone mentioned this one: https://github.com/LibreScore/dl-librescore

If I have to choose one, I would say musescore-downloader https://github.com/Xmader/musescore-downloader

https://github.com/Xmader/musescore-downloader/issues/141 unfortunately

Else Tenacity is an active fork of it which doesn't seem to accept donations hmm: https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity

Not anymore, unfortunately. They were bought out by an extremely shady company. Please look into forks of the project i. e. "tenacity" https://github.com/tenacityteam/tenacity. The details on the controversy around audacity also can be found on the page.

Tenacity also seems dead. This had the most active marketing, even set up donations and received $575 (so far); I wonder what will happen to that.

Add both the normal and vocal off versions to Tenacity File > Import audio.

The icon to its left is tenacity, an audacity fork.

I think people underestimate the open source community. When there was some controversy surrounding audacity, a successful fork was created (tenacity). Same goes for youtube-dl, which stopped regularly updating and has since been "replaced" by yt-dlp.
