It's still crashing immediately upon opening in 4.6.3. 4.6.1 did not have this problem, but other than that, I really have no clue. Great product when it works though!

Partner Response: We saw several reports of crashes in MuseScore 4.6 that were caused by older versions of MuseScore 4 being present on the same Windows machine. This might affect you if you used earlier versions of MuseHub, which used to install MuseScore to a different location. If so, please make sure the old versions are fully removed before you upgrade to the new version. If you do want to use multiple versions of MuseScore 4 on Windows, consider using the portable EXE for past versions, and use MuseHub or the standard MSI installer for the current stable release. Please note, using multiple MuseScore 4 versions is not a supported configuration on any operating system. In particular, when you switch to an older MuseScore 4 version, you may experience strange UI bugs until you use Help > Reset to factory settings. This does not apply to running MuseScore 3 and MuseScore 4 on the same machine, which is supported via the standard installers.

After I downloaded the new update, the soundfonts for the regular orchestral instruments disappeared. Idk if it's an issue on my end or musescore's?

Everything is great except for the fact that accents do not work when put on a note.

I found out that MuseScore Studio 4.4 and 4.6 were installed separately, for some reason. I uninstalled both, then reinstalled the most recent version of MS4 and it stopped crashing :D

With voice-dependent dynamics added in 4.4, l.v. ties and advanced system markings control in 4.5, MuseScore was getting very close to a complete solution for engraving professional looking condensed orchestral scores without needing any tricky workarounds (like a tie to an invisible note to look like an l.v. tie). Now in 4.6, the ability to insert bar numbers below the system or as system markings has eliminated another nasty workaround that was necessary up till now (bar numbers below ALL staves, with all but the last being invisible, and then making them invisible again every time a staff stops being hidden). SMuFL support is another very welcome recent change, and sure, we had some hiccups, as can be expected with a major update, but the glitches were quickly patched, and 4.6.2 is amazing!

Upon downloading the update and trying to install, I get a message saying it cannot be opened because there is on access to Applications. I have yet to use the new MuseStudio version after having used Muse Score 3 for a long time. I do not appreciate the interruption to a formerly good workflow.

Partner Response: Please check, thanks!

I am not one to complain but this is infuriating. Musescore keeps crashing losing all my work each time I try save. I have been a long time user of Musescore. Please fix this bug ASAP.

This version hangs up a lot. Really slowed down my efforts. Some how it deleted a lot of my work. Still don't know how it happened frustrating

Since the pass of Notion , and the growing disinterest in using Cubase, I have found with MuseScore a software program that perfectly suits my needs. While there's always room for improvement, particularly regarding the notation for artificial harmonics, slow glissandos, etc., this software allows me to write down my compositions and convey to conductors and musicians what I expect from a performance on stage. Thank you to the MuseScore team!

For beginner, it's hard to navigate. Need to learn how to 'recognise' note and music symbol. But the software provide more music feature than any free music maker I tried. Great !!!

I have been using MuseScore for creative composition for five years now, and it has served its purpose. It goes well beyond the expectations of free software.

pretty good although it is a pain to manage large scores because even when running on a computer with 32 gb (twice the recommended) it freezes for about 5 seconds, about 20 seconds on my 8gb laptop
