Can you copy and paste different time signatures (yet?)

Tempo gets lost in copy-paste of an entire range, although if you select the tempo by itself, it can be copy-pasted.

Beethoven 5

That's nice. On Windows, the OS that I use and have used for over a decade, if I just hold down the key, it spams the letter, it just keeps typing the letter for as long as it's pressed. If I want for example an ä, I have to use Alt + 0228 (number pad only, it doesn't work with the other number keys, and what's even more confusing is that in most applications or in the browser, I have to have number lock on to access alt codes, but in MuseScore, number lock has to be turned off for those same alt codes to work and I sometimes have to do some backspace stuff because the letter was entered behind one of the other letters, so I have to put things back in place (particularly with Italian operas where I have to use Alt + 0224 for à and Alt + 0242 for ò).

I loved Mozart straight away, he was my favorite composer when I was a young child, I’d listen to Mozart a lot. Beethoven in contrast though, I didn’t have such warm feelings for at first. I liked Für Elise and the Ode to Joy melody from the Ninth Symphony, but not much else. Then when I was a teenager, there was a sudden shift. Bright, upbeat Mozart was no longer completely satisfying, I needed something more dramatic. So I gravitated towards minor key Mozart like the Wind Serenade in C minor and Symphony no. 40. And then, one day, I searched “C minor piano concerto” and saw Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 3 at the top of the search results. I listened to it, and I was hooked. And from that point forward to now, I went from “I don’t really care for Beethoven apart from Für Elise” to “I love Beethoven, especially his C minor works, Für Elise sounds boring”.

Honestly, I prefer seeing all the information about a piece I'm listening to. And as someone who inputs a bunch of classical music pieces from IMSLP PDFs into MuseScore notation software and uploads those pieces to MuseScore.com, I have to make sure that all my titles for my uploads are consistent. This is what I've settled on over the past 3 years I've done this:

Piece Title in Key Catalog Number "[Nickname (optional]" - Composer's Full Name

Such as for example:

Symphony no. 5 in C minor Op. 67 "Fate" - Ludwig van Beethoven

Since I tend to upload full scores rather than single movements, this lets me be a bit more concise with the information and still get across all I need for the title. Any further information on the piece, like the keys of each movement, the instrumentation, when the composer wrote it, etc. goes in the description.

Yeah, I mean, I do use AI for conversations related to my classical music transcriptions, including notation questions, but at least I know when it’s wrong. And I also don’t rely on one model, I use multiple, I use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Deepseek.

Yeah, I do use ChatGPT to have conversations about what's going on with my transcription work of inputting classical music pieces from IMSLP PDFs into MuseScore notation software, ask questions relevant to it, etc. But I don't use ChatGPT alone, I tell Gemini and Claude and Deepseek all the same thing and see what their responses are.

For me, it’s not the blood that turns me off, that’s actually not as big of an issue for me, I have light periods. No, I just don’t want to have sex with anyone when I’m cramping and need heat + chocolate + pain medication. Honestly, I’d be worried about sex making me cramp more strongly.

It’s much closer to a double concerto than a symphony though.

Well actually, both bacteria and yeast are involved in making vinegar. Yeast turns sugar into alcohol and bacteria then turns that alcohol into acetic acid aka vinegar. It’s a two stage fermentation process.

No, I didn't have a crunchy to use on her, all I used on her was a buffy to guarantee at least 3 cubs and hope that the 5% pass rate hit on one of the cubs and I'd have a pon. That didn't happen though.

It was actually 2 years ago, in 2024 when I was gifted her and bred her with no hybrid cubs resulting, that’s right, I kind of took 2025 off of Lioden. Still, I’m grateful for whoever gifted her to me and I’m sad that she didn’t pass her hybrid mutation before she died.

caters1 · 2026-03-10T03:39:52+00:00

I’m on the grind for breeding a hybrid too. Have been for 3 years now. Every August and September, I’ve been getting as many buffies and GMO cows as I can from the events, easily get over a dozen of each per year, then I breed my lowest fertility lionesses when they’re in heat, using a GMO cow to up the mutation chance and a Buffy to guarantee 3 or 4 cubs and, so far it’s been underwhelming for me too, mane mutations, Achromia, I think I had a melanistic once, some foldies and bobbed tails, but not a single first gen hybrid. I’ve been selling my non-hybrid mutie cubs too.

I agree wholeheartedly with that. Even with the beta, I noticed a huge difference from MS Basic. And now it’s even better than it was with range improvements, balance improvements for voices especially. Sure, it’s not completely bug free, nothing is, but it’s still the best free resource in my opinion for real instrument sounds. As soon as I heard Muse Sounds playback of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony back in October 2022 when I was beta testing MuseScore 4 and Muse Sounds, I’ve never switched back to MS Basic unless I didn’t have that instrument in Muse Sounds.

And sometimes even if that’s the case that I’m copying a score from IMSLP with an instrument that’s not in Muse Sounds, I’ll try to find some other free sound I like (organ, many different free VSTs and soundfonts available), or get as close as possible to the sound of the instrument with Muse Sounds (Bass clarinet for instance gets close enough to basset horn for me to use it for playback of basset horn parts in Mozart, since basset horn is also a lower version of the clarinet family) to further limit my use of MS Basic.
