New in MuseScore 2.2.1 (Apr 4, 2018)

New in MuseScore 2.2 (Mar 27, 2018)

New features:
New MuseScore_General.sf3 soundfont
Fix #5163: MIDI output
Fix #208006: Built-in MP3 support for Windows (finding and installing third-party DLL no longer necessary)
Fix #183336: Search field in New Score Wizard template chooser
Fix #56451, fix #44666: Option to select whether to "Play repeats" for jump elements (D.S. al Coda, etc.)

Fix #175886: Fretboards can be added to chord symbols
Known incompatibilities with previous 2.x:
Improvements to the handling of voltas and repeats come with some compatibility issues. Where 2.1 and before required the repeat list of a volta to be set to the nth time that measure/volta is encountered (against intuition and against the existing voltas from the palette), 2.2 now requires the repeat list to reflect the human-readable logic of being the n th repeat in total. In consequence, some files created in 2.1 and before might be played with a different roadmap, especially if there are more than 2 voltas to a given repeat. It can be fixed by editing the volta's repeat list in Volta Properties (accessed via secondary-click).
In short, 2.2 now behaves like earlier versions should have behaved and workarounds employed in older version to get the playback right are no longer needed (and will need to be reverted).
In 2.2, jumps have a new property, "With repeats," which if enabled causes playback to take repeats. Using this new feature in a score does not bar you from also editing that score using previous versions of MuseScore 2, but obviously those versions do not support this feature, either in playback or in saving files.
MuseScore 2.2 comes with a slightly different SoundFont called MuseScore_General.sf3, so your scores might sound a little bit different (hopefully better!). If you have saved custom synthesizer settings in a given score or as a new default, if those settings contain a reference to the old FluidR3Mono_GM.sf3, you might need to manually update those settings. For most users, the change to FluidR3Mono_GM should be automatic, seamless, and barely noticeable. If you have previously uploaded a score to MuseScore.com using the default playback and would like to get the new sounds, simply update your score.

New in MuseScore 2.1.0 Revision 871c8ce (May 2, 2017)

NEW FEATURES:
New note input modes:
Rhythmic input: enter rhythm first, pitches later. Saves having to swap back and forth between computer and MIDI keyboard.
Semi-real-time MIDI input - a limited form of real-time input (play the piece on a MIDI keyboard and notation is generated automatically). In semi-real-time, you can't enter triplets or notes shorter than your chosen duration, but it is more reliable than fully real-time entry.

New in MuseScore 0.9.5 Revision 2012 (Jan 30, 2010)

Create sound files of your scores via File ? Save As... (WAV, OGG, and FLAC)
Use and create plugins
Know the pitch range of instruments (MuseScore marks out-of-range notes for amateurs in yellow and professionals in red)
Double-click to open a MuseScore file
Over 30 crashes fixed
Playback:
Dynamic markings affect playback. For example ff sounds louder than mp
8va and 8vb now affects a single staff (as expected) instead of all staves in a score
Tempo changes playback correctly for scores with repeats
All staves playback on Windows using the default
SoundFont. Previous versions only played the top staff unless you manually setup a General MIDI SoundFont
Position of slider in play panel is now reliable
Mixer allows you to change instrument sounds on Windows.
Individual notes can be microtuned up to 200 cents above or below the original pitch via the note/chord properties dialog. The Tuning plugin allows you to modify the pitch of all notes in a piece
Reworked internal fluid synthesizer
Reduced the idle load on the processor from ten percent to nearly zero percent. MuseScore only processes chorus and reverb if sound is present
Faster startup and smaller memory footprint especially when using large SoundFonts. MuseScore only loads samples from the SoundFont if needed
Files:
Sets file type associations for MuseScore (".mscz" and ".mscx")
Drag-and-drop of files onto the MuseScore window opens the score on Windows
Automatically delete temporary files with names such "msHp4124" on Windows
New file extension ".mscx" replaces the old file extension ".msc". The old file extension conflicted with a type of Windows system file
Fixed problem with special characters (&\") in filenames for Compressed MuseScore Files
Part extraction is less prone to crashes (slurs, voltas, and bar lines through multiple staves are no longer a problem)
Export to sound file. See Export for more details on WAV, OGG, and FLAC
Improvements to MusicXML import: recognize text style, credits, meta-data, multi-measure rests, dominant chords
Improvements to MusicXML export: include information about page layout, credits, meta-data, multi-measure rests; fixed dominant chords, percussion clef, tempo markings, measure width, correct order for elements in note tag, correct octave for B sharps
Improvements to MIDI import: recognize key signature changes, copyright text
Improvements to LilyPond export: fixes for B, C, and C-sharp major key signatures
Implemented a preference that lets you apply a custom style file to all imported scores
User Interface:
Close button appears on each tab similar to modern browsers instead of a single button off to the side
Default shortcuts conform to platform conventions. For example Ctrl+Y for redo on Windows
Beginning note entry with the mouse in a selected measure no longer causes a crash (prominent crash introduced in 0.9.4)
More instruments added to the new score wizard
Drag-and-drop of dynamics now works
Copy-paste of measures also includes chord names and lyrics
Copy-paste of full-measure rests
Note and rest split correctly across barline on paste
Note entry mode
Cursor now advances when you enter a rest
Notes snap into correct positions so that a slightly misplaced mouse no longer divides existing notes into unexpected smaller durations (bug introduced in 0.9.4)
Backspace undoes the previously added note
Tuplet are created a little differently. See tuplet.
Undo now works for the following
Moving note up or down with mouse (pitch change)
Changes to the Page Settings dialog
Changes to Edit Text Style dialog
Changes to Edit Style dialog
Stem flip
Part and staff property changes
Measure stretch
Added Slur to line palette (previously only available via keyboard shortcuts)
Breath marks placed after the note it was dropped on instead of before
Notes outside of the pitch range of an instrument appear red and notes only playable by professionals in yellow
Edit ? Search allows you to jump to a measure
Notation:
Ledger lines
Thicker lines to match standard engraving practice
Half-note and whole-note rests in voice 2 have proper ledger lines
Avoid touching other ledger lines when notes are close
Automatically widen to reach noteheads on the opposite side of the stem
Percussion
Note entry for drums and percussion is less prone to crashes
Drumset can include notes above staff
New Score wizard no longer adds key signatures to unpitched percussion staves
Vertical note alignment and slurs for whole-note chords now follow the same rules as stemmed notes
Ties copy-paste correctly (bug introduced in 0.9.4)
Accidentals after a tied note now follow standard notation rules
More control over the layout of notes and articulations in the Style ? Edit Style dialog
Dotted notes allowed in tuplets
Shifting notes by an octave retains pitch spelling (sharps or flats)
On small staves key signatures, time signatures, accidentals and dynamics are also small and rests are positioned correctly
The measure property dialog now has options for "layout stretch" and "measure number offset"
The bar line for grand staff instruments goes through both staves by default
Arpeggios can span two staves
Multi-measure rests automatically break at voltas, key changes, and time changes
The default size of the staff and notes can be changed via the scaling option in the preferences
Two new clefs: bass clef 8va and bass clef 15va
Visibility of note stems and staff lines is now saved
Note head position (left/right of stem) can now be overridden by user. This supports notation of "Griffschrift" for Steirische Harmonika
Text:
A special toolbar for text editing makes it easier to change the formatting of specific text
Improved layout for formatting options in the Edit Text Style dialog
Separate style options for odd and even lyrics. For example you can alternate between normal and italic type for each stanza
Lyric hyphens better match the lyric text
Lyrics, measure numbers, and other relevant text resizes with the staff when you change the scaling (via Layout ? Page Settings...)
Changes to the text style (via Style ? Edit Text Style) are visible without closing and reopening score
Dynamics (such as mf or pp) now resize properly using Style ? Edit Text Style ? Dynamics
Flats and sharps in chord names now resize properly using Style ? Edit Text Style ? Chordnames
Chord names are configurable via an external XML file: styles\chords.xml
Experimental jazz font for chord names (the font is incomplete and several symbols are missing)
Plugins:
Plugins can now include dialogs created with Qt Designer
Eight sample plugins added
Most script actions are now undoable
Script debugger option added to the Help menu
Added -p option on command line to launch a plugin
Internationalization
Eight new translations for the software: Arabic, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Traditional Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) and Ukrainian. This brings the total to 18 languages and dialects
More text in MuseScore is now translatable (certain sections of the user interface were English only in previous versions)
Italian and Norwegian versions of the handbook. The handbook is now available in nine languages
