4.6.1

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

4.6.2

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!

From one of the best software for writing notes, after the last update we got some serious crap from the software. The imbeciles were working on the last update

4.6.1

I have been using Musecore 4 actively since the day it was released, but now I can't even use it anymore. The app is plagued with frequent crashes and horrendously long loading times. I've been trying to write new scores, but the app crashes before I can even place down a single note. I love this app and I'm so sad about the state it's currently in. I hope that this issue can be resolved in the near future.

4.6.1

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.

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.
