The Voice is so annoying

Please think about not English native and speak more clearly.Its a pain ,compared to others RUclipsrs, to listen your voice … to fast too. Best regards and sorry for the bad feedback.

oh

Video sounds like it's being narrated by a tiny mouse, thank you!

Thank you for starting this channel! i look forward to following you.

Can you please do something about the recorded sound? Volume needs to be increased to hear properly.

It's a great piece of software. I just wish they would create a version of it for iPadOS.

🎶 Hello Musical Friends! 🎶 🎼 MuseScore has made waves in these past few years. Despite that, not every professional utilizes MuseScore. 🎵 Do you think that more professional musicians should use MuseScore? 🎵 Why or why not? 🎶 Have a wonderful, musical day! 🎶

Dorico will become the industry standard. Musescore, as fas as I’m aware, doesn’t have real-time midi keyboard recording like Sibelius, Dorico and Finale had. That limits its appeal too.

Oh, I'm old enough to remember how the sun went dark, the seas dried up, entire peoples were exterminated, when HB Music Engraver went belly up. My publisher called one day and asked for some revisions to a couple of pieces I'd done with HB Music Engraver. I told him, that the program no longer exists and I don't have a computer anymore that will run it. He replied. "Ok". I imagine similar conversations took place, for example at Henle Verlag, when Leland Smith died, which effectively also killed his SCORE program, which was the real "industry leader" until it's demise in 2013. Well, having learned from those two world wide calamities, I've got a 2015 MacBook Air with Finale installed. It runs like a charm. Just as well as my 2012 data/multimedia MacMini Server. Finale's v.25 runs more stably on that Air than it does on either of my M2 MacBook Airs, which, as in the old Finale days, tends to want to crash every 10 key strokes or 3 input pages, whichever is more painful. But just because Finale has worked out with another company how (and how much) to pull just one last time, money from my wallet, doesn't mean I'm going to blindly sheeple along and give them my CC number. I might just pull an Alain Delon and when I die, demand that my 2015 MacBook Air together with Finale be buried with me when I die at age 107 in 2057. Of course, being that those old Intel machines seem indestructible, I have no idea how they'll put it to sleep forever before chucking it into the casket with me. It still wakes up to this day sponanteously and performs an automated backup to my server.

Every pro scoring app shares one thing: They're all caught up in a battle to have the most features adjacent to music scoring, e.g., the best audio play back. I wish one of them would focus _all_ its devs on the core scoring tasks: a) Making the input of all the common kinds music (classical/pop/jazz) as intuitive & gestural as possible, and b) making appearance and layout (for both scores _and_ lead sheets, etc.) as customizable as humanly possible. I personally find chord symbols to be a weak spot for most of these programs; I've often struggled to easily get complex chords to look right for my needs & for my target players.

About time!

I thought Sibelius wasn't being updated anymore?

Sob. 😢

I used to use Personal Composer before they discontinued. I refused to use any other program after that, so I decided to build my own as a hobby at first. And wow, I can see why these things happen...this is a very complex software to build. But I am no longer building this as a hobby, and I am much more focused. If you build it right, you can future proof to a degree. But it is still hard unless you have a very disciplined engineering team.

What about Notion if you are a Studio One user? How good is it?

I used Sibelius for mny years but things chnged aat AVID. Costs went up, updates became rare and buggy. I don't know if things have improved at AVID because I switched to Dorico at the point. The first version of Dorico was grim and I stuck with Sibelius at that point. The later versions of Dorico were wat better. I now use Dorico 5 pro and couldn't be happier.

Musescore is amazing as well. It's also free

Dorico is putting all other to shame

Musescore just released 4.4 and it's an amazing update. I'd encourage anyone who's looking for a music notation software to give Musescore a try, as it's completely free, and getting very good updates. I used Sibelius for about 10 years, and then switched to Musescore around 4.1. While I still have Sibelius installed and licensed, any new score I write these days I do on Musescore. I gave Dorico a try and it's also really good. I just didn't end up buying it cause I already had Sibelius and I saw what Musescore was working on before 4.0. But the short time I had with it gave me a very good impression. And if I were going to buy a notation software for iPad, Dorico would be my first choice.

Dorico is just wonderful, and is the future of music notation in my opinion.

I looked on the Dorico site and there is no mention of an introductory price for Finale users… it’s $289.99 for Dorico Pro5. Not 149

🎶Hello Musical Friends! 🎶 Now that Finale is over, what are you going to do? While I used Finale during my University studies, I switched to Dorico about a year and a half ago, and haven't looked back. However, I'm still keeping Finale on all my computers. You never know when you'll need it. Comment below what you are going to do! 🎵Have a wonderful, musical day!🎵

Finale, turns out, was not the best lol

I'm gonna hold onto my college laptop then! JUST reauthorized it on there since it works so much better on Windows 10 rather than my Mac. Makes sense if the coding is really so clunky. I lucked out, I got Finale for $100 through my college when I was in school in a jazz comp course. I was reassigning my authorizations recently through the their website, crossing my fingers that they would still honor them. Had to change my email, even, since I no longer have access to my .edu one. Makes sense that they did though if the parent company is abandoning Finale entirely. Sad. I have many fond memories trading and editing charts with my fellow jazz colleagues. But I look forward to what the future holds with the economics of programing in transcription software. To this day I really enjoy working in Finale, I've used Finale software for 20+ years to varying degrees of engagement as I've grown as a musician. It's definetely NOT a perfect program. There's very much a learning curve for new users and my colleagues and I often joked about how clunky the program was. The menu searching isn't nearly as bad as what I've seen from Sibelius, but I look forward to exploring programs with more streamlined means to obtain options available to the composer or arranger. This video was informative. The AI voice threw me off, I swore you were going to start shilling a new particular program. But I found everything said therein to be accurate with what's going on with transcription software. You made me want to go back to college for a second, LOL! I'll give you a sub, thanks for making content ACTUALLY relevant to my interest!

This video is prophetic. Thanks.

it's honestly impressive that you predicted Finale will die so close to the actual time it died. it's only the prediction date that was wrong 😅

Well, it looks like the end of Finale came sooner than expected.

It Just died. You missed it by more than 5 years.

Since yesterday the ship has sailed towards Dorico. FYI - several videos by Steinberg to help with the transition from Finale to Dorico: ruclips.net/p/PLoyaeouPUsds4tcAcLTR1lrrvloMkGPo_

The sound of the commentator is terrible!

Dorico, apparently.

They beat you to it! Aug 26, 2024: Finale is dead. Now the replacement question isn't just theoretical. It's real.

You’re a little late my friend.

I can tell you now, for sure, FINALE is NOT the Best Software. They're done as of 4 hours ago, with limited support moving forward.

Well after today 🥲

Well, looks like today we don’t have a choice but to switch to Dorico.

INB4 this video explodes

Great video!! Also, did you hear that this morning (8/26/24), Finale just announced that they're ending support for the program.

...2025!

Thanks for sharing this. I just bought a keyboard to help with music theory. However, I think singing is better for me. I have a long way to go. I have doubts. Keep up with your passion. 🎶

You fail on providing a single example, though. Like, if it is THAT limiting, why can't you cite one example of that limitation?

I use MuseScore 3, because it has been downloadable - not for composing but to display a digital copy of the score.

I used Musescore for years but quit and ended up paying for Finale for one very simple reason: Musescore MIDI playback SUCKS. It sucks, and the devs have caught the pompous "this software is primarily for notation" mind virus that floats around on forums. No. MIDI playback is very important to a huge number of people, it's just that simple. I found learning Finale very frustrating (personally), but once I did, I discovered that it is also LIGHT YEARS ahead of Musescore in terms of MIDI input with its speedy entry tool, and frankly countless other features. It's only bad when you don't know how to use it. If and when Musescore get serious about MIDI, both input and playback, then they might be able to overtake Finale. But at the moment, it's feels like the free software that it is.

you need a better microphone

I don't think musescore particularly needs to care so much about its reputation. Provided that the core open-source project remains pure intentioned of course. We must be vigilantly weary of embrace extend extinguish tactics that muse group might use however and we must defend that at all costs. That said there's little we can do if muse group decide to be predatory. The funding is coming from them and without it any well-intentioned forks will quickly fall behind. It sucks but it remains the reality of open source projects. Ultimately we place Our Faith in the Lord and Saviour our one and only Benevolent Dictator for Life. For better or for worse, despite architectural efforts in software licenses to minimise the risks, ultimately we are still placing our trust in one individual or organisation to do the right thing. So far I believe that muse group are doing the right thing. I find the lack of documentation for the interface between musescore and muse sounds to be a little insulting but I chalk that more up to a move fast and break things mentality rather than maliciously trying to cram proprietary code in an open source application.

This is such a weird complaint. Why do you expect everything to just be ready made for you? It's not intended to be a publishing house.

I think it could do with a full upvote/downvote system. They could also just seperate the brand.

Another reason? MuseScore 4 sucks, a mere shadow of 3.6.

One problem I've noticed is that people upload scores without completing them, and also without specifying the instrument(s) they're intended for. I recently checked out a score for a jazz standard. It turned out to be the second trumpet part of a big band arrangement for what I assume was a high school marching band...nothing at all useful to me. And I've also previewed scores that were not in the correct meter, or used dotted note values where they should have used tied notes to make the timing clearer. As you said, Musescore can be used correctly to notate some amazing professional scores, but you can also produce crap. It makes finding good scores more of a challenge, but then again, I often download a free piece of crap that I need to just get an overview of a piece to create my own arrangement, rather than paying the fee for something of better quality that I'm going to change anyway. My solution to the problem you highlighted would be simply for Musescore.com to alert potential users that the problem exists. And that as professional composers, arrangers, etc. the program is a solidly capable way to create their scores for all but the most wildly experimental music.
