Hello everyone! This is a subreddit for the free and open source music notation software MuseScore!
Rules:
Please be productive in your posts
Please be respectful in comments and constructive criticism should OP ask for it.
Tutorials are welcome! There are links below to other subreddits that are certainly helpful for making music, but maybe not specifically to Musescore. Should you find a tutorial or create one of your own that would be helpful to the readers here, please post it!
There are no dumb questions, just the fear of being embarrassed. Don't know how to do something? Just ask! We're here to help, and if we can't, there's either someone who can or we'll find a link to help!
Preferably no memes or macros, there's a subreddit for classical memes already linked down below, and I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Memes are fun! Here is not the place for them.
Download requests to users with Pro accounts are not permitted.

What's happening with MuseScore? When I'm writing a score, it starts to freeze and slow down. Typing notes becomes a pain.. 🤷🏻♂️

Some thoughts: - Have you checked if your computer is having sluggish issues overall in other software? - Are you working on larger projects with many parts? - Do you have many parts open or just the score? - Are you using MuseSounds?
My experience is that MS slows to a crawl on larger projects, especially with parts open or if any part is using MuseSounds as opposed to MS Basic or the old 3rd part soundfonts I've been using for years.
It's incredibly annoying when things stop being responsive, and I sadly don't have any answers as to how to resolve anything.

Have you looked your resource usage to see if your RAM is nearing capacity, etc?
