If you’re an active composer, you probably know about the free, open-source music notation software, Musescore already. I’ve been an active user of it since the beginning, and wow has it come a long way.
A year ago, Tantacrul, a composer/theory Youtuber, did a critique video on the software. He went into grave detail about design-element issues with it, and instead of ignoring the criticism or defending the software, the Musescore team hired Tantacrul to be head of design.
The Musescore team displayed a healthy way of responding to criticism: dig deep into it. It will make you better.
The past year, Tantacrul spent designing a new music font for the software, and he made a really cool video about what he learned.
