    I’m still waiting for one feature from MS2 to come back: when entering lyrics, hit tab to register a space. This was awesome when it’s needed to insert more than one word per note.

      I have been using MuseScore 2 ever since 2016 (never switched to 3, I'm switching directly to 4 now), and I had no idea you can press tab to do that. I always used Ctrl + space.

      While it's great to have the flexibility to do this, I'm just wondering what your specific use case is. Wouldn't it add ambiguity for the vocalist? I was always taught that each syllable should be assigned a note, and each note should only have a single syllable, except where notated with an apostrophe (eg. every = ev'ry).

    Hello. Is there any way, after adding a chord, to go to the next measure and not the next note? In musescore 3 there was the Tab button option, is there something similar here?

  • @BsktImp
    @BsktImp 2 года назад +6

    Does MS4 now recognise and play augmented sixth chord symbols (It+6, Fr+6, Ger+6)? Also, if you input roman numerals instead, will MS4 now recognise the key and playback the appropriate chords? In UK we use a, b, c etc for root, 1st inversion etc of chords suffixed to roman numerals; does playback (if applicable) recognise and support these?

    • @TrentJacobs
      @TrentJacobs 2 года назад +2

      It seems like you're possibly confounding chord symbols with figured bass and/or roman numerals (which are analytical symbols). It+6 isn't a "chord" in the same way that Gm7 is, and is context dependent. You are probably looking for the Roman Numerals feature. I know in the past this was a severely lacking part of Musescore, and as a music theory teacher one of the main reasons I hadn't made the switch completely yet because I use Roman numerals and figured bass regularly. I haven't got into the program to know if it's been implemented yet.

  • @colemerkosky1517

    I do a lot of arranging for guitar, and one of my biggest gripes with MuseScore 3 is how it handles capos. Finding the capo setting is tricky in the first place, and when it’s added, the capoed chords appear beside the original in brackets. This gets cumbersome when you have long chord names - you get ugly things like “G#m7b5 (F#m7b5)”, which not only takes up a lot of space, but is also hard to read when playing it. All professional scores I’ve seen will put this chord above the original chord, either in bold, italics, or brackets. Are there any plans to improve the capo system in MuseScore 4?

    Has there been any consideration given to stacking chord extensions vertically versus horizontally. With a chord like G7(#9) #5, measures can get crowded quickly if they are three chords in one measure. If there was a vertical option to stack extensions.

    is there a way of formatting lyrics that change between 1st and 2nd endings of a repeat? For example, let's say for the first run through you want phrase A and for the repeat you want a phrase B. How do you get the lyrics tool to recognize repeat symbols with 1st and 2nd endings? Especially when you have multiple syllable words and you don't want the dashes to go through the 1st ending measure for the second ending lyrics. I hope I'm making sense. Too bad I can't paste an example in the comments!
