A new version of the music score editor MuseScore 4.2 has been quietly and quietly released. This is a landmark update for guitarists, featuring a new guitar bend system with beautiful graphics and highly realistic playback. Version 4.2 also contains other important updates and improvements, including improvements to multi-part scores and much more.
The update also affected the collection of music samples: Muse Guitars, Vol. 1. This set includes six-string acoustic guitars with steel and nylon strings, two electric guitars and an electric bass. You can find it all on the Muse Hub, alongside Muse's long-established choral and orchestral collections. Look release video to evaluate the sound quality. If you want to taste the beauty of MuseScore sound, download and install the Muse Hub utility for Windows and Mac, or Muse Sounds Manager for Linux from the website https://www.musehub.com/ . Muse Sounds Manager is now available as an RPM package in addition to the DEB package. MuseScore can be used without heavy external collections; the package includes a standard sf2 sample bank.
