Oh! Does it say what is in the updates?Just downloaded an update from MuseHub of Berlin Woodwinds and Muse percussion, showed up today.
Where can I find this??Perhaps open the offending .qml file and adjust the velocities? (Note there are 2 places with the following code.)

Tinkering under the hood is what I love about open-source.
/Users/eric/Documents/MuseScore4/Plugins/musescore_dynamicsactions/ for me. YMMV, but you can see your plugin path in MuseScore's Preferences > Folders. Look for the Plugin entry.Where can I find this??
A nice comparison of the differences. With the type of music selected Noteperformer came out on top
The tempo is noticeably faster than in the video and these are very clean articulations. Would it be too much trouble to ask for a “standard” (non-NPPE) NotePerformer playback at that same faster tempo for comparison?I'll add a few more examples. The score is a bit different (I'm working on a critical edition published before 1968, while the example in the video is the post-Romantic version published by Ricordi in 1920, with three trombones and more color contrasts), but it should give the idea.

Sure. I added it as the first example of the message where I linked the Synchron examples.The tempo is noticeably faster than in the video and these are very clean articulations.

Thanks. They are all impressive, especially at that tempo. I still like NP the most overall. Maybe not quite as clean with the articulations in some ways, but sounds more natural with less of an “organ-like” effect around 0:40 especially. Overall the NP playback also feels like it breaths more, or has more depth or natural dynamics and musicality in general.Sure.

Great rhyming, poetYeah for engraving Dorico can’t be beat. But I have to say the playback in MuseScore is pretty sweet.
Hi wondering if anyone can help me figure out some tech & UI oddities in MS (coming from Dorico):
1. Numpad doesn't work at all? I use this 99% of the time for note input, not the top row of numbers. Apparently this is a known issue in MS4 going back to posts I see dated in 2022, seems kinda crazy if that hasn't been fixed? I use a MacBook so sorry can’t answer this one.
2. Do you have to enter every rest manually? No "grid" or anything to move the input cursor left/right by note value while entering?! One tip is to use the “r” key for any duplication of notes or rests (copy and paste also of course). Say I have a passage that is mostly 16th notes. I’ll just notate a single 16th rest and ride the “r” key and gives sort of a poor man’s grid. Then I’ll place whatever notes over the rests. Once everything is filled in, then the remaining 16th rests, I’ll click on with an eight rest or quarter rest or whatever the case may be, and that cleans up the orphan 16ths. Also the palettes are movable so If I’m entering a bunch of notes I’ll drag the note entry palette close to where I’m working.
3. Is there a swap staff function? To quickly swap the music on two staves (not instruments). I saw 'swap clipboard' but that's not quite it. Not the I’m aware of. That would be nice! Right now, I cut and paste, or copy and paste. BTW, check out paste with half or double duration (nice one).
4. Finally, is there a way of moving music up and down staves, as well as duplicating (not copy/paste)? I googled around for this but I can't find anything, just seems like a pretty bog-standard editorial task…Not the I’m aware of. Would be nice.
Many other differences I'm getting the hang of but I would think these are pretty basic & common things so they must be possible? I’ve never been in Dorico, sorry.
Thank you! What I meant by common things are just edit stuff that you could find in any piano roll in a DAW for example... moving notes left and right, up and down, extending them shorter or longer durations, seems to be a kind of universal music software and midi sequencer paradigm is what I meant, so I'm just feeling a bit lost.
Ah! Yes I wish I could just drag a note over! You can drag a note or several up and down easy enough just selecting them while holding down shift. Also move them an octave with command and arrow up or down.Thank you!

Everything else that is different is not that hard to adapt though with the side panels and toolbars. Just wanna edit my notes!
Yeah, I had a gong scrape (thanks to Berlin, I'm going crazy as you probably would've guessed!). I had it on the downbeat but felt it would sound better before, so I just wanted to move it the left by an 8th note... ended up having to re-enter note input and add several rests and cut and paste etc. It was an ordeal Scrape sounds good though, lol.Ah!

These are common DAW/sequencer paradigms but outside of Dorico are actually generally a bit foreign to notation programs, if I can make a broader observation here about notation programs in general. Some programs have support for moving quarter notes or whatever over by one beat, but moving something to the left or right by an eighth or some other fraction of a beat is something that is generally a lot of work in notation programs and can't be assigned a simple hotkey. Same with extending notes. Users have developed expectations of how notation programs "should" behave based on how Finale and Sibelius behave as examples, and this is a completely different behaviour set than a DAW.What I meant by common things are just edit stuff that you could find in any piano roll in a DAW for example... moving notes left and right, up and down, extending them shorter or longer durations, seems to be a kind of universal music software and midi sequencer paradigm is what I meant, so I'm just feeling a bit lost.
Thanks for your insights, I was not aware, having spent a better part of my musical life inside of DAWs before I came over to the world of notation (having dabbled in Sibelius and MuseScore before finding home in Dorico). After a few years I guess I'd been spoiled by some of Dorico's editorial features which are, in that sense, a lot more like a DAW / piano roll / midi sequencer than I actually realized!These are common DAW/sequencer paradigms but outside of Dorico are actually generally a bit foreign to notation programs, if I can make a broader observation here about notation programs in general.

A lot of notation programs directly try to simulate the act of writing on paper, and so they encourage people to write the same way they would with manuscript, by first adding the rests into the bar and then the note. This isn't specific to MuseScore by any means, but that was their logic behind the system I believe.
In my case I would write a lot of contemporary classical concert music, in many pieces trying to avoid the sense of meter and just create this free, floating feeling, ametric but with a meter there to tie everything together. Sometimes I decided something needed more breathing space, like a second more time, and it was always a huge pain to do this with Sibelius, because I'd have to do tons of copy and paste and mess other things up in the process.
