It's beautiful.Ĭool, glad that helps! It occurs to me there is something MuseScore could do to improve the situation further, though. I am fascinated by this "combo" and will probably be up all night trying it out. I get the benefit of an easy input system as well as the benefits of that automatic spacing. I just tried it and am absolutely delighted/ The automatic adjustment swung into action and my score was beautifully proportioned, This is the answer right here. "It might make sense to add line breaks before beginning note entry and then remove them later so automatic spacing can do what it is designed to do."īINGO! That's it. So I lost touch with the fact that there is a huge discrepancy between an empty bar and one crammed with 16th notes.īut you offered a perfect solution to any style of music I might write. The last page occasionally has empty space at the bottom which I fill with a nice graphic. I've been writing classical music for early stage pianists and pretty well adhering to a two to four page format with even measures. Cadenza passages commandeer entire lines.īut you have been so generous with your time and patience and so insistent regarding this issue, I told myself I must be missing a crucial point here. I write in the classical style but even when I just checked my Mozart and Beethoven Sonatas, there are wildly different bar sizes. You are quite correct of course, that printed scores do indeed allow much less space for empty measures. MuseScore handles this for you if you don't override it and force it to only put four measures even though more would have fit. If the measures have just a single note/rest, or maybe just a couple, most published music will fit *much* more than four measures. Some fakebooks publish lead sheets that way, sure, but the vast majority of published music has varying numbers of measures per line, according to how full the measures are. But, yes, if you do wish to enter notes with the mouse for whatever reason, it might make sense to add line breaks before beginning note entry, then remove them later so the automatic spacing can do what it is designed to do.Īnyhow, four measures per line is *not* how most music is published. I guess you are trying to enter notes using the mouse? That's never going to be particularly efficient no matter what. But as you enter notes, everything is exactly as it should be. You just aren't used to seeing scores published that are nothing but empty measures, so it looks strange at first of course. Check any published scores what MuseScore does for empty measures is pretty much exactly what most editors do. Empty measures in real published scores don't take much room either. :)Īgain, the music spaces itself automatically as you enter notes. I'm quite sure that no composition has ever been written which uses 16 measures per line. I would simply not have the patience to work with this otherwise exceptionally good program.įour measures per line covers most score requirements. Mercifully there is still the option in "tools" of giving me an acceptable work space. I want a simple score instead of 32 bars crammed into two lines which will dance the watutsi when I start to fill in my notes. No I don't want more space between notes. Just like what is shown in the thumbnail on the "create a score" page. The default should be a simple single score sheet. now I have the visual distraction of measures bouncing and throbbing all over my screen as I enter the notes. If I'm using a keyboard then it's a little easier. but they are a nightmare as I struggle to position the notes over the rests cramming them into an unnecessarily small space if I'm using a mouse. The lovely basic score page is gone and there are only two lines with 32 measures jammed onto them. Am pleased with the option for a pick-up measure. Then I fill in the key and time signatures. Which is shown thumbnail with 6 lives of four measures each. There's a lovely selection of formats including choral and orchestra. I sign on and see a nice clean sheet of single staves Then I fill in the Title Composer etc.
