![]() I found software that was able to do this, but only for MIDI, and another program that could do it, but only for audio. ![]() It had gotten to the point where I was running Linux in a VM and tried to hook together the Jack in the VM with the Jack on the host system. The program itself looked promising enough, but I also needed playback functionality (neither of us can play all the required instruments) and getting something cross-platform to work was such a nightmare I gave up after a day of fiddling with soft synths. A couple of years ago I gave MuseScore another go because I wanted to facilitate collaborating with a Linux user. To that end, software such as Sibelius has suitable synths already integrated, which can often spare you the hassle of cobbling the scoring program together with a DAW. You don't need production-quality sounds, but you do need a faithful reproduction of the notation - something that understands ‘pizzicato’ etc. However, this is different: when you don't write notation for the sake of controlling virtual instruments, but for performers on live instruments, it's still very useful to be able to ‘preview’ scores and parts thereof through soft-synths. Yes, some of that new stuff looks a lot like a DAW, and for DAW users the first priority should be to integrate the notation software with existing DAWs. ![]() This functionality is also important for workflows that have nothing to do with producing. TL DR: It's not about having another DAW. Which can then need to be done again when there's a significant enough change to the music to mean a re-import. In addition, being able to have DAW-like control of a mix removes the need to transfer the project (or stems) to a DAW, which can be great, particularly when you want to quickly create something for someone's assessment yes, in the final version you may well need everything that a DAW offers, but often you'll just need a bit of control to spruce things up a bit and take it in the right direction, and having greater control over this (via VST Instruments and hopefully effects) will allow this all to happen in-app rather than having the (sometimes long-winded) transfer to a DAW. I've found that Dorico has allowed me to control things that otherwise I would have needed to put into a DAW to do (such as alter played note lengths to my satisfaction while retaining the notation I think is appropriate) - something which was previously difficult or impossible to do. Musicxml, MIDI, etc.) can present anomalies when opened in MuseScore, so initially it's best to include such information when posting support issues and bug reports.I don't think they will be going for 'full DAW' functionality, rather taking the same path that Dorico has taken - in allowing DAW-like features to produce better audio output from the scoring application, while still remaining in that same app. Importation of files from 'outside' MuseScore (e.g. That second bit is an important piece of information you did not mention originally, I am having this difficulty in working on a Musicxml file that I have imported to Musescore from another music notation program that I use too (Sibelius). It required multiple steps and manual channel changing. Here's how it was done not too long ago (perhaps you're familiar): Within the MuseScore app (and to the credit of the MS team), mid-staff sound change - e.g., "pizz." / "arco" - has been simplified. Is there a way to simplify the use of this technique? It would be so nice if we only had to select the "pizz." / "arco" text in the notes we desire. ![]()
