Three years ago I started working with musescore professionally
I work in a sheltered workshop and on March 15th of 2020, my working place was shut down because of COVID-19. On this very day I accidently, or better by God's will, I have found a note paper written by hand. I asked if I could make a musescore file with that handwritten paper and he agreed and sent my some more notes on my request.
From March 16th till June 26th in 2020 I worked as a "note engraver" at home. People sent my their templates and mad a musescore file of it. I worked 25 1/4 hours every week. From Monday to Thursday from 9 AM till 4 PM and on Friday from 9AM till 1:30 PM. Of course I made some break at lunch break was one hour—from 12PM till 01PM.
I have made different stuff in musescore, at first some songs, then a choir work by a German composer. Then I have set an orchestral work by my former music teacher. Last but not least, I engraved the "Hauptsatzkantate", a choral work where the fundamental theorem of calculus is proven.
Having finished it, I have returned to my old working place, scanning documents.
I have had much fun, but I am hardly here now as composing music or arranging other people's work is not even my hobby. I thank you for your advice and take care.

A very uplifting story, thank you for sharing.
I am retired, but I relied on the online community of my fellow MuseScore transcribers during the COVID lockdown period.

That is good. I remember a Briton who was forced to live on welfare in his country. He told me that it was £ 200 per month plus the rent. That is pretty tough as the prices are higher in the UK than in Germany.
Time is rushing so fast. Now it has been four years.

Great story to know, thank you for sharing! "25 1/4 hours a week" how do you come up with precision?
