Could you perhaps elaborate about what makes it 'not up to snuff', given how much you used it as a chance to promote your own stuff?


Maybe the segment on engraving of Tantacruls Musescore 4 video is a good explanation of some of the things involved:

the whole video is worth watching as well (and there are several videos on the channel focusing on the UI of notation apps, worth watching for anyone who does UI but isn't interested in music production as well)


Perhaps you noticed that the beams aren't really attached to the notes they are supposed to be beaming together.

OP doesn't show any multi-stave (i.e. "full score") example at all -- if the system could do that, it would likely have been part of the demo.

This is extremely cool technology, but it's clear that more polish would be needed before it's ready for general use.


Take a look at the visual tests for VexFlow to get an idea of the complexity music engraving can have: https://www.vexflow.com/tests/


Such unnecessary aggression towards someone who built something cool and useful.


It was constructive criticism from someone with expertise


It was neither.


They said they've spent 10 years developing scoring software... Wtf


Those are two separate usernames. I was defending the person who has worked on it for 10 years.
