To clarify. Ardour is open source and therefore it is free. Ardour offers built packages for a fee, but anyone can build it from source. Linux users, like myself, have access to Ardour repositories and built packages from third parties. Ardour is my main DAW and I get it through the KXstudio and UbuntuStudio repositories without paying a fee.
I do like the Orchestral sounds from the Muse Hub (MS4). One of the biggest issues I have with MS4 is the Drums. It will not allow me to put the multiple drums/cymbals on standard music notation. I have to assign each drum/cymbal sound to a single line. So 8 separate lines for a standard drum kit. Outside of that I would love to be able to bring the sounds from MS4 into my DAW and use it there.
I’m not sure I understand what you mean. Both MuseScore 3 and 4 have the ability to add a percussion clef. If you’re talking putting drums on a treble clef or something, I really don’t know why you would want to do this. That is definitely not standard.
Wow i use musescore for number of years for drumming. Yeah 4.0 is still too buggy. Gotta try this. I take it i can for example, pull in a weckl playalong in logic pro or garageband, then sync it up with the transcription in musescore? Thankx for posting this informative video 👏
There is community work on Musescore 4.x to return Jack sync capabilities. The work is slow going, but they do have a lot done. Once this work is integrated to the master source code, the features should be back, in some capacity. I personally write my film scores directly in Musescore 4 by creating my metrical templates in Ardour to identify hits and cues in the picture. I then keep my Musescore 4 file updated with the Ardour metrical templates with each cut of the film while in production.
@@carlirwinmusic I can't find anything in the ardour manual or forums about 'metrical templates' can you explain a little more about what exactly you are doing?
@@demonicsweaters I bring the movie into Ardour (or any DAW with video sync) and then I map out the hit points for the cue using markers. Then I add a midi track and set a tempo (I don't do any mathematical calculations to choose, one. I just use what I want the music to be). Next I set the meter and then add metrical changes, as desired, in the bars preceding the hit markers to get strong downbeats. Once I have mapped my meter changes, I will copy the map in a Musescore file, adding descriptions for hits and cues, etc. Then I write. Here is an example of the workflow from a while back: ua-cam.com/video/rB32OwtEkVA/v-deo.htmlsi=nKcnPWt78yN2Yz-b
Correction. Ardour isn't actually free, but it's 'pay what you want'. I just picked up the latest version and I'll make a tutorial on it soon.

Thanks 🙏 learning more all the time
Glad it helps!

I don’t think it’ll work in logic or GB but Ardor and Mixbus, yep!

@@carlirwinmusic Wow, that is great news! I hope it happens soon! I'm unfamiliar with metrical templates. I will look into this!
