As a practical matter, that can mean the code is freely available, but practically only used by a small set of people who have the skills and time to compile the open source parts themselves and provide self-support.

If, in the course of developing added value features, the vendor makes enhancements to the software in the open source layers, they must dedicate that to the open source community. I believe Muse have at least hinted they may have paid versions of Audacity in the future, or at least paid add-ons. I have no knowledge that Muse intends to do that.

(See Red Hat Enterprise Linux, e.g.) In those cases, they certainly can charge a price for their offering, regardless of the fact that it mostly consists of open source code. I believe it is accurate to say that, as of today, all the Pro and Pro+ features (requiring paid subscription ) relate to the website used for score sharing.īut it is quite normal for vendors to have offerings that are based on open source, but also include layers of their own proprietary code. That isn’t literally how open source works, although I think that is an accurate description of what Muse is doing TODAY – not necessarily forever. (the file-sharing site) offers a paid subscription to access premium scores. MuseScore (the software) is free forever because it’s open-source. I would imagine that it might put something like Overture to bed, though – not that there’s any sign it’s still being actively developed anyway… But I hardly imagine Dorico will have stood still in the meantime. Give it a couple of years though and I might have another look. It would all require more work than a conventional library set up with a competent Expression Map in Dorico as far as I can see.

It’s fascinating how beautiful it can sound in patches but there are also a huge number of issues – uneven dynamics, faster notes are often virtually inaudible and insufficiently articulated, there are some phasing and distortion issues and a number of other things. Once I had set the buffer to the maximum possible- the only way to get it to work at all on my system without endless clicks (strange as processor use was around 45% so some obvious audio engine issues there)- I could give it a trial. There’s been such a flurry of activity about Musescore 4 here that I finally decided to install it as I was interested in the playback side of things, in other words Muse Sounds.
