Re: your anecdote, that is not the fault of Musescore. It behooves the downloader to vet the quality of the music they download, seeing as they know it's not necessarily written by a professional or experienced musician.
Not trying to complain! Just trying to open conversations and shed some light as to why MuseScore might not be used as frequently as some might hope it would be. (I definitely don't expect music to be ready made for me on MuseScore, but many of my peers do.)
In the video, when I'm discussing measure numbers, I am talking about labeling each measure with its own symbol outside of rehearsal markings. That label can be placed below or above the score, and tend to happen at regular intervals (typically every measure in newer scores) for rehearsal clarity. For larger scores, sometimes it is nice to measure every number so no musician has to count every single measure. It is a preference (not a strict guideline), and I've typically seen it in full orchestral and wind band music. (not as common in chamber and solo literature) However, rehearsal markings (which can be measure numbers) do happen on the upper left of the measure! They tend to happen every few measures, typically at the beginnings or ends of phrases. Additionally, each measure at the beginning of each staff tends to be labeled in the top left corner in a smaller font. While these labels are similar to labeling every single measure, they might not be the same. However, labeling each measure at the top left is not wrong! Both can be right. I was probably taught to style my scores in a slightly different way?
@@DissonantSynth I work as a professional composer, arranger amd copyist so I think I know what I'm talking about. MS4 is buggy and laggy and has horrible backwards compatibility. The hyped features were implemented terribly. MS3.6 was snappy and just got the job done. Looks like you have no idea about MuseScore at all or are probably just a hoobyist😊
I think a section could be created for scores reviewed and approved for performance
I agree with this suggestion. Having peer reviewed scores in the "reviewed" section and an "open" or public section is a good idea.

I think that is fair! Us musicians (especially music students) can do a lot to make sure the music we play is written well!
I think it could do with a full upvote/downvote system. They could also just seperate the brand.
This is such a weird complaint. Why do you expect everything to just be ready made for you? It's not intended to be a publishing house.

Why measure numbers BELOW the measures' I the decades I had my engraving company, the default place for measure numbers was upper left of the measure.

you need a better microphone
Working on it! Thank you for the feedback.
Another reason? MuseScore 4 sucks, a mere shadow of 3.6.
@@amj.composer that is such a silly and baseless thing to say
did they remove the Quit Sibelius button

@@RoamingAdhocratNo that would be catastrophic
@@DissonantSynthYour comment is far sillier and baseless. Do you even use MuseScore? Doesn't sound like it
