WATCH VIDEO Breadcrumb 1. Home 2. Forums 3. General discussion MuseScore 3.6 is Out! pereverzev_v * Jan 14, 2021 - 17:57 MuseScore 3.6 Stable is Out! We are pleased to announce the release of MuseScore 3.6. This is our 'engraving release', which addresses many of the biggest issues affecting the layout and appearance of your sheet music and is the result of a massive collaboration between our community and internal team. It is the first big step towards the type of world-beating engraving capability that we aim to achieve in the future. Two of the most notable additions in this release are Leland, our new notation font and Edwin, our new typeface. Leland is a highly sophisticated notation style created by our head of product, Martin Keary and our engraving expert, Simon Smith. The aim of Leland is to provide a classic notation style that feels 'just right' with a balanced, consistent weight and a finessed appearance that avoids overly stylised quirks. Here's a video created by Tantacrul that breaks down how Leland was created. Our new typeface, Edwin, is based on New Century Schoolbook, which has long been the typeface of choice by some of the world's leading publishers, chosen specifically as a complimentary companion to Leland. In addition, we have provided new default style settings (margins, line thickness, etc) to compliment Leland and Edwin, which match conventions used by the world's leading publishing houses. Equally as important as our new notation style is our new vertical layout system. This is switched on by default for new scores and can be activated on older scores too. It is a gigantic improvement to how staves are vertically arranged and will save you hours of work by significantly reducing your reliance on vertical spacers and manual adjustment. We have also created a system for automatically organising the instruments on your score to conform with a range of common conventions (orchestral, marching band, etc.). In addition, newly created scores will also be accurately bracketed by default. You can even specify soloists, which will be arranged and bracketed according to your chosen convention too! These three new systems are the result of a wonderful collaboration between Simon Smith and our community member, Niek van den Berg. We have also greatly improved how we display the notation fonts: Emmentaler and Bravura, which more accurately match the intentions of the original designers and have included a new jazz font called 'Petaluma' designed by Anthony Hughes at Steinberg. Lastly, we have made some very useful improvements to our export process, which now includes a new dialog containing lots of practical, time-saving settings. This work was implemented by one of our newest community members, Casper Jeukendrup. We have lots more to do to improve the engraving capabilities of MuseScore, including important overhauls to our horizontal spacing and beaming systems. MuseScore 3.6 may be a massive step but there are many more steps ahead! Additional Engraving fixes * Overhauled style defaults, both general and Leland-specific * Added feature to indent initial systems of sections * Improved adjustment of stem lengths on chords outside the stave * Improvement to the appearance of tremolo and buzzrolls markings * Correct interpretation of beam spacing and ledger length settings in SMuFL fonts * Improved positioning of flags, honouring their orientation and design in their respective fonts * Bracketed accidentals can how have customisable padding inside their parentheses * Improvements to placement and spacing of accidentals with regard to ledger lines * Improvements with spacing involving invisible items Regarding MusicXML Import * There is an issue with some MusicXML imports, which do not always accept our new defaults without some manual work. Depending on the source of the file, font faces and sizes may be specified locally for each text item. A dialog will be presented when importing an XML file to ask if you wish to apply the text font Edwin to the file or not; this will force the font change but may not affect size or other attributes. It may be possible to reset styles more comprehensively by opening Format - Style and selecting the 'Reset all Styles to Default' * Option on the bottom left corner of the dialog. After that, you may also need to choose 'Format > Reset Text Style Overrides'. Ultimately, it may be necessary to reset some text items manually.

It is best to start adding some music before evaluating whether you need to make changes to the defaults. Otherwise, changes you make now to your empty score will most likely turn out to counterproductive in your actual score.

Without any notes it just looks like an empty score to me, nothing much to see. I'm not taking the piss, just wondering why you would rate that .png image that way. Reply mhindson * Jan 18, 2021 - 11:08 In reply to Why do you think it's ... by Lofo I would agree it is not pleasing to the eye: mainly because there are so many bars squashed in there. One would very rarely if ever see so many bars per system, anywhere, in real life. A piece with 32 bars in it would always take up more than two systems. I always immediately change the minimum width setting. But I have no idea why the minimum width isn't set wider, anyway, as the default.

Thank you Reply Quinn Ouyang * Jan 16, 2021 - 04:04 In reply to Is there a way where I can... by M Dub_Dub "Bigger" is subjective, but you can: A) Format -> Page Settings -> Scaling; increase the staff spacing there, everything scales with it. The preview will give you the general idea of the change before you apply/OK the action. B) Select the measure(s) and hold Shift + } to stretch the measure(s) horizontally. (Using '{' shrinks the measure). C) Similar to B), but applies to all measures as a default for empty staves. Format -> Style -> Measure; increase the "Minimum measure width." If you search around on Google or Musescore forums/manual, you'll find plenty of guides for this and other things. Reply Marc Sabatella * Jan 16, 2021 - 15:43 In reply to Is there a way where I can... by M Dub_Dub Another possible answer, depending on what you actually: simply add notes. Measures that are empty are supposed to be narrow. They get wider as you add notes. All this happens automatically; you shouldn't need nor even attempt to do anything special to circumvent it.

Scores feel (and look) a lot more (IMHO) the old high-quality publishers like the G. Henle Verlag Munchen and Breitkopf & Hartel Wiesbaden. A lot is the choice of fonts, but the stave placement looks good too - it wasn't bad before, but it looks top-notch now - without having to do much manually. Thanks developers!
