4.6.4

I was just able to use Muse Sounds one version before by manually copying Muse MuseSamplerCoreLib.dll to system32 (which is ridiculous), but this update broke everything again, now even this hotfix doesn't work. The logs say it could not init the sampler from the AppData location. Please do not release untested software.

Since update, it doesnt let me open palletes, it crashes when doing so. I have tried everything, reverted to Factory settings but still no luck, it litterally makes no sense

Partner Response: Hi there, 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.

4.6.4

Despite owning Finale 27.4, Dorico Pro, MuseScore 4.6.4 remains my preferred notation software. As I become more proficient with it, its capabilities continue to improve. Notably, the Spitfire plug-ins (Instruments) enhances its functionality, enabling seamless export to MP3 format. Currently, I utilize a MacBook Pro equipped with 16 gigabytes of RAM and a Mac Mini with the same RAM capacity. Both devices operate flawlessly without any encountered issues. I commend the MuseScore team for their exceptional work.

4.6.3

Not sure when everything went wrong, but my old Muse Guitars pack that I used in every score is now gone + trying to input notes for percussion is hell + I overall hate everything. Stick to older versions

I'm trying desperately to download Musescore 4.6.1. That worked really well. But there are so many bugs in 4.6.3. - it crashes all the time; repeat Voltas have to be removed to insert dashes in lyrics; pages move all over the place when inserting lyrics, page 2 and subsequent pages are incomprehensibly spaced...etc etc...avoid at the moment until these bugs are resolved

4.6.3

It worked for the first four minutes and then the audio crashed or something, because now when I hit play, the line just stands still and no audio comes out. I barely have one gigabyte left, and idk what to do. But other than that, I think its pretty nice. I've wanted this for years, but now, I'm not that sure that it was really worth the wait. It's kind of a disappointment by now. D:)
