That's why MuseScore 4 will always remain free and open-source. We don't believe in barriers to creativity. It is available for macOS, Windows and Linux.ĭownload it now. It is worth noting that the expected size of the MuseSampler is 10GB.MuseScore 4 is available to download free from as a desktop app. This may very well materialise as a second beta release.

We expect to be releasing the external MuseSampler library midway through the beta phase so that the community can begin trying it out.

When we enter into our beta phase, we will have completed backend work on that will allow members of the community to test uploads to (this has previously not been possible and was something we felt we needed to address) Beta 2 We expect to be entering into our alpha phase once the MusePlaybackEvents work is ready in late December / early January Beta With that said, below is our revised timeline for the release of MuseScore 4. Some of these improvements are very significant and I'll be posting more about them shortly. While this work is being undertaken, it has opened up some extra time for our engraving team, who have decided to bring forward some of the engraving changes we had originally planned for MuseScore 4.1 & 4.2. We believe this work adds around 2.5 months to our schedule. Not only will it open doors to take advantage of the full capabilities of our default (Fluid synth) playback, it will also allow us to build features that will provide exciting opportunities for VSTi's and MIDI 2.0 in the future too. As I mentioned already, this was not work we had originally planned to do for MuseScore 4 but as we continue to experiment with higher quality samplers, we have come to realise that MusePlaybackEvents is a necessary investment right now. It will be an open event format that ensures the utmost precision when detailing the data required for high-quality and realistic playback, without losing compatibility with MIDI and VST. Our codename for the new system we are building is MusePlaybackEvents. We had initially intended to simply reuse the MS3 system (which simply used MIDI events) but over the last few months have changed our mind. This is due to a large piece of unfinished work concerning the handling of playback data (dynamics, pitch, articulations, etc.). New Timelineįor anyone who has tried our nightly builds of MuseScore 4, it will be obvious that the playback sounds pretty strange (including a fun issue where VST plugins sound a half-step up from the default!). In this short post, I will outline our revised timeline for the release of MuseScore 4.
