I paid for a subscription. And they are now effectively blocking #Firefox, at least on #Linux. Every fetch requires me to "verify I'm a human" so none of the images or #javascript load. It works in #chromium (for now...?)
After a long wait I'm happy to announce that #Empirical#Musicology#Review just published our #data report on ~260 fully annotated #piano pieces from the long 19th century 🎉 I donate this #violin#plot to the @vagina_museum 😏 Thanks to our collaborators, annotators, and to my co-authors!
@tantacrul Really nice to see #MuseScore really getting more #accessible and leveraging the fact that data and interface can be abstracted so even if you'd cringe about it, one could even develop #Musitude support for it, tho I'm convinced that noone should do so, but hey, it's possible...
The only problem is that while I know about #music than a chord sheet assumes I know less than I probably need to, for instance, line the lyrics up with the beat.
But it's all a #learning process! It's OK to be terrible! Everyone starts somewhere! (he snarled through gritted teeth)
MuseScore is an awesome program (https://musescore.org). But avoid the sinking sands of the service set up on musescore.com domain, made by the company that acquired both MuseScore and Audacity in recent years.
This stuff is a racket. I'd advise to install MuseScore from your Linux distribution's repository and never visit any websites associated with it.
I previously praised the open-source music transcription tool #MuseScore a little while back. I learned enough back then that I could successfully transcribe one of my own music pieces, with melody, chords and lyrics and it looked great!
Of course I haven't touched it for several months now and need to learn it all from scratch again. Should come faster the second time around, I hope.
Development seems to be progressing still too! That bodes well for its longevity. Just watching a brief tutorial to try to ring a few bells for me.
I recognize the guy in this video - seems to me his tutorial was quite good and helped me ramp up the first time (older version here though 3.6 vs the newer 4.1.1 out now).
If you are a software developer or a product manager, a UI/UX designer, or a musician or composer, then this vlog about the 2-year-plus development of #MuseScore 4, a popular open source musical notation application, is very insightful and informative.
After using the colour notes option in MuseScore4, my ability to discern and read scores has markedly improved. Especially when trying to read notes above or below the staff.
Recommended so you can stop pausing and counting how many squiggly lines there are, especially when the upper notes are like way up there.
