Playback lead sheet chords?
Is there a way in playback mode to hear the chords which are written by name above the staff on a lead sheet?

No, unfortunately not
Playback improvements like this are definitely lower priority than notation features, but this is something that comes comes up just often enough that I could see something being implemented some day. Realistically, it's an ongoing artificial intelligence problem as to *how* to best play accompaniment from chord symbols - heck, it's an ongoing quetion constantly being worked on by experienced musicians. So it's unlikely MuseScore would ever try to do anything too fancy. But something really really basic would be possible, or perhaps integration with a program like Impro-Visor that speciailizes in this sort of thing more.

Ok, thanks.

Howdy,
Found this snippet when searching to see if there was a way to have chord symbols playback. I realize the AI difficulty in this problem (ie Band in a Box does just this) and that your main emphasis is not playback. However, a simple "boom chuck" style accompaniment (root triad fifth triad) would be nice to ensure that the chords and melody entered don't horribly clash. I'm thinking about using your program to aid in my instruction to music students and such simple chord playback would be great. Is this the kind of thing one could imagine writing a plugin for?
Thanks. I LOVE what I've seen in this program so far!

That's what Finale does as well and I found it useful for the same reasons.

In 1.3, the plugin framework wasn't sufficiently powerful to allow this. It *might* be for 2.0, but I haven't really kept up. This does seems like a great application for a plugin if it is technically possible.
Hi,
Thanks for writing back. I might be interested in pursuing this later if I get some time. But for now, still trying to get to know musescore (using 1.3 and now just trying 2.0 beta). Am wondering why I didn't get an email announcing when replies to my post here happened (is it b/c I logged in using FB)? Close access w/this forum is key for me at present, as feedback greatly adds to my success using musescore. LOVE THE APP SO FAR, BTW! Simply amazing.

Hi,
Am getting replies in my inbox ... found out where Gmail was stashing them :-). Now ... is there a way to search this forum for any posts I might've made? I've been able to do this easily enough on other forums, but am stumped here ...

and searching the forum site explicitly for my user name ("belinda.thom") produces nothing.

appears if you can figure out how to find your "user node" you can see what you've posted. you need a url like this one: http://musescore.org/en/user/

Just click your own name right above any post you've made. That is, where is says "Posted by belinda.thom on November 4, 2014"

That's great if you can find the post :-). Now I've saved my user id page ...
Convoluted, but --
install EasyABC
Export your score to xml
Import the XML into EasyABC
Play the ABC file
Note: make sure EasyABC has chord playback ON (It's off by default)
Great! Thanks. I'll give it a shot.
