Musescore is slow
When creating or updating a score using the mouse can be very frustrating as inputting notes or whatever can take time. Has anyone else experiencing a slow system, and is there something I am not doing right.
Appreciate any help
Regards

Please share your computer specs. Is everything slow? How about short cuts?
You're not alone - sometimes there's a few second (not exaggerating) lag between selecting a note and hearing it/having it enabled for editing.
Of course, I have an older (2016) computer and am running Linux Mint 21.1, so there may be underlying programming issues of which I'm not aware.
Overall, can't beat the bang for the buck, though!

MU4 needs as a minimum, 4core CPU, 8 gb ram and an SSD.

That would probably explain it in my case - 2 core (+2 virtual) CPU (but 16gb ram and an SSD). The program works; it's just laggy. Been thinking it's time to update anyway...AMD vs Intel flame war, anyone? ;^)

You can still get a dual core to work. I've done it. Go through each of the steps here:https://musescore.org/en/node/339915
Especially you default sound device bit rate. And uncheck "Exclusive mode"

Increasing the buffer size and lowering the volume in the mixer cut the skips by about 2/3, so I'll chalk that up as a win! The post you referenced seems to be for a windows machine (at first glance, anyway), so I couldn't implement some steps on Linux, but still a vast improvement. Thanks for the help!

Yes, Windows. But if you look up how to do some of those things in Linux, it might help. Especially lowering the bit rate.
