Software-update: MuseScore Studio 4.6.4

MuseScore Studio is een krachtig, gratis en opensource softwarepakket voor muzieknotatie. Met de software kun je professionele partituren maken, bewerken, afspelen en exporteren. Het is crossplatform beschikbaar voor zowel Linux, macOS als Windows. Het is gebouwd met het Qt-framework. Het biedt een robuust, door de community gedreven alternatief voor dure, propriëtaire notatiesoftware. Het .org-project staat los van het commerciële .com-platform, waar tegen betaling bladmuziek kan worden verkregen. Enkele dagen geleden is versie 4.6.4 van MuseScore Studio uitgekomen en de changelog daarvan ziet er als volgt uit:
