I’m a professional conductor and I write big orchestra scores in let’s say John Williams style. This whole orchestra library is clearly the best in Musehub (the best means less mistakes comparing with all others, i’ve tried everything) and the sound of strings in particular is fantastic. But the amount of mistakes is ridiculous. First of all fast passages simply do not work. Noteperformer wich sound 10 times worse than Spitfire, make fast passages sound 10 times more realistic! Then we have a lot of random mistakes in performing legato, tenuto, marcato, and mistakes are different in different dinamics! Sometimes the passage with and without a slur sounds completely the same way. Conserning harmonics, we need to be able to write them down professionaly with noteheads and hear them played correctly based on our written note text, you just need to take some Ravel score like complete Daphnis and to chek how we write harmonics with different noteheads. (I’m not mentioning that strings do not perform at all a lot of artifitial harmonics no matter how you write them.) Col legno mp - you don’t hear the sound practically at all. Col legno mf - the sound is actually ff, orchestra doesn’t perform it that way until you reherse really a lot, believe me. Dinamics in general must be fixed in the first place I think. And so on and so on, a lot, I mean it, really a looot, hundreds of things to fix and to add before one can begin really professional work using versatile possibilities of the orchestra. (again I’m talking not only about the strings, but about the whole library, even percussion, where for example suspended symbal, wich we use from the beginning to the end in cinema music, - simply doesn’t work well.) PLease make this libryary work at least as professional as Noteperformer works (we all wonder how is it so that so small a library performs everything with 98 percent precision) and Musescore will be undoubtedly the best notation software in the world. You just need to seat near a professional composer who write realy versatile and complex scores with different, poliphonic orchestra layers (where you have not only melody, harmony, base, second melody and percussion) and you’ll see hundreds of sound mistakes in 2-3 hours of work. Then one of first questions wich appears when you begin to work is why you have so much technics like bartok pizz, flautando and so, but you don’t have the most basic one - solo!? We need to just write ‘1 solo’ and hear solo violin! Then we write ‘tutti’ and tutti we hear. Using an additional stuff for that is completely not professional if we are talking about serious composers who shoud not waste time in making one kind of score for the sound and then work additional month (if we are talking about a symphony) to make a professional score out of a ’score for good sound’. This topic also concerns the notation software itself. One basic example: I want to check for instance how 2nd flute, 6th horn and 2nd violins sound togeather separetely from the orchestra. And I can’t do it!!! In Sibelius you click stuffs you need and you play them. It’s the most basic function you need 10 times in a single minute when you make a professional orchestration, and the idea of using mixer (why so complicated and so long?) in order to do it is just insane, it takes at least 10-20 times more time comparing with Sibelius (imagine always searching 2-3-4 instruments in mixer when you have 60 instruments in your score, that is beyond common sense). There are several other basic things we need to be able to switch ad libitum. Anyway the sound of Musescore + Spitfire (I mean the sound out of the box) is so much better than everything that exists including Dorico, Noteperformer and so on, that I’ve decided to continue my work here even if I need to make a score whith ridiculous dinamic markings, additional stuffs and lots of other things in order to make everything sound real, and only when I export a good sound I begin to make a real score without ridiculous amount of additional markings. (And again this is much worse then working with Noteperformer where you simply can chek your professionaly written score, because here in Musescore + Spitfire the well made score simply will not sound correctly.) Please, fix the library and the Musescore itself so that all of us could work professionaly like we do in Sibelius, but if you fix it we will be using the sound Sibelius will obviously never achieve.
