Release notes for MuseScore 1.0

Updated 2 años ago

MuseScore 1.0 was released February 4, 2011.

MuseScore 1.0 builds further on the foundation of MuseScore 0.9.6 and the 3 bug fix releases released since June 2010. The focus of this release was stability by reducing bugs, only a very limited set of new features were added. Several new translations were added.

Important information for people upgrading

  • The keyboard shortcut for rests during note entry changed from Space to 0 (Zero). In MuseScore 1.0 Space now starts playback similar to most other media software. If you prefer the old shortcuts you can change them as explained in the handbook (see keyboard shortcuts )
  • Changing instrument names in front of staves involves an extra step. In previous versions you could double click on the instrument name and edit it directly. Unfortunately this method sometimes caused crashes or corruption and is disabled for MuseScore 1.0. However you can still edit the instrument names. Right-click on an empty part of a measure for the staff you want to rename and choose "Staff Properties..." from the context menu. In the Staff Properties dialog you can change the "Long instrument name" which appears on the first system or the "Short instrument name" which appears on subsequent systems.
