31-TET retuning plugin
I've recently made a plugin which allows playback of compositions in 31-TET (31 notes per octave).
The link to source is here: https://github.com/euwbah/musescore-31-tet-plugin/blob/master/31-TET.qml
The accidentals used are as follows:
Double flat - 5 steps down
3/4-tone flat (looks like 'db') - 4 steps down
flat with down arrow - 3 steps down
flat - 2 steps down
natural with down arrow / flat with up arrow - 1 step down
natural with up arrow / sharp with down arrow - 1 step up
sharp - 2 steps up
sharp with up arrow - 3 steps up
3/4-tone sharp (sharp with three vertical lines) - 4 steps up
double sharp - 5 steps up
Custom key signatures need to be added into the dialog in order to be applied. Make a selection before retuning to retune and use a particular key signature for a particular section of a song. If no selection is made, the whole score will be retuned as such.
I don't think many of you will find this plugin useful, but it is definitely an interesting experiment nonetheless haha.

Hi!
I downloaded your plugin, which seems quite interesting. My problem is that it won't show up in the plugin menu even if I enabled it in the plugin manager window. Should I install anything else other than the plugin itself? I'm using Musescore 2.0.3 in Windows 7. By the way, do you have any plans on creating other plugins with different octaves division (19-edo, 24-edo, etc...)?

Hmm, that is weird. I'm using it on Ubuntu 16.04, but I don't think that is a problem.
The plugin is located in
Plugins > Notes > Retune 31-TET. Have you tried looking there?In reply to Hmm, that is weird. I'm using by matt28
Hi, I'm having the same problem as TalesBotechia unfortunately. I downloaded your app and it appears in the "Plugin Manager" window, but the comment section on it is blank and it doesn't appear in the plugins menu. I tried copying and pasting your qml into the "Plugin Creator" window and I get the following error message when I click Run:
>> "creating component failed
>> line 2: module "QtQuick.Controls" version 1.4 is not installed"
I'm using MuseScore 2.1 with Qt 5.4.2, on Windows 10. I'm not a programmer so I don't know how to solve the problem.
If you could please help me make your plugin work, I would be very grateful. I've actually been wanting to compose in 31 tones for a long time so your plugin is a Godsend for me. :)

Really appreciate the info you gave. I realized the code I've published is missing the latest changes I've made to the plugin, so I've updated it on Github. You might wanna give it a try and see if it works!

Ok I've tested the new code and it seems to be running fine! If any issues comes up I'll let you know asap! Thanks again!
Dear matt28,
thank you very much for this plugin! I have tried it on two operating systems. On Linux Mint it works just fine - thanks again! -, but there seems indeed to be an issue with the Windows version (Win7 64-bit). As subarctic_composer describes above, the comment section in the plugin manager stays blank, and it does not show up in the plugins menue.
All the best!
Dear Matt,
the new code works for me on Windows. Thank you for the amazingly quick fix!
i have installed the plugin but it doesnt seem to work:
The intervals C/E and C /Fb sound completly the same while the first one should sound pure and the second very awfull (the same as in meantone)

Your example does work here. How is your setup? Do you use the internal synthesizer with sfz fonts or with sf2/3 fonts?
From what I can tell retuning does not work with midi-out to
external players (unfortunately).
thats it
thank you for this great feature

is there a chance to use it with musescore 3 ?

Hi, I've updated the QML file on the Github repo not too long ago. It now is fully compatible with Musescore 3. Do read the new README.md as there are some changes/improvements to how the plugin works.

is there a reason why i cant find it on the plugin page?

Thanks for pointing it out, I just updated the plugin metadata on Musescore's online plugin repository to reflect that it now supports Musescore 3.x.

thank you for your work

So it does not support MuseScore 2 any longer, regardless ist title, "https://musescore.org/en/project/31-tet-retuning-plugin-musescore-23"? Same for https://musescore.org/en/project/19-tet-tuning ?
