-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
New features ------------------ Improving MuseScore's playback out of the box is an important and ongoing process. There are many aspects involved in making MuseScore more expressive, but fundamental to this are solid samples and a great default SoundFont. Listening to the community we have identified the highest priority areas for improvement and have for the very first time with MuseScore 2.2.1, engaged a professional virtual instrument developer ( S. Christian Collins, creator of GeneralUser GS) tasked with continually improving the default soundfont during the remainder year. Reflecting the started of this new initiative, we have re-christened the default as MuseScore_General. Highlights of improvements so far include updated sounds for piano, clarinet, and synthesizers. As MuseScore development continues, so will Chris' work on MuseScore_General. You can follow the progress and add your insights in the dedicated SoundFont forum. Enabling MuseScore to play through a MIDI keyboard or redirect MIDI output to a DAW or VST is among the most popular questions in our forums. To date the answer has always been to connect via JACK MIDI. This solution provides a wide range possibilities, especially on Linux��� when it actually works. But for Windows and Mac users it is complicated to set up and not so easy to use. In MuseScore 2.2.1, JACK is no longer required, and MuseScore can communicate directly a MIDI device or virtual instrument - no additional installation, plugin, or setup required (thanks to Eric Fontaine). You can read more about this exciting new feature here: https://musescore.org/en/node/208986 Also included in MuseScore 2.2.1 are 200+ improvements and bug fixes, including MusicXML 3.1 import/export, improved support for various other file formats, three new localizations (Armenian, Igbo, and Kabyle), as well as updated translations for all languages. Check out the MuseScore 2.2 Release Notes for the complete list of all new features and fixed bugs. https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/release-notes /release-notes-musescore-22 Though MuseScore 2.2.1 is almost fully compatible with the 2.x series in both directions, there are a few rare exceptions where scores may be rendered slightly differently in the different versions of MuseScore. Detailed description such exceptions may be found here. https://musescore.org/en/handbook/developers-handbook/release-notes/release- notes-musescore-22#known-incompatibilities -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
