Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.44,0:00:08.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the biggest improvements we've made \Nin MuseScore 4 has to do with the engraving –
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.13,0:00:10.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,– the way the scores themselves look.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.72,0:00:16.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Actually it's not one big improvement, but \Nrather hundreds of tiny little improvements
Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.00,0:00:19.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that will make your scores appear \Nmore polished and professional.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:19.76,0:00:24.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you're opening a score from an older version \Nof MuseScore, you may notice some differences.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.32,0:00:27.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This video briefly shows you how \Nyour scores might be affected.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.92,0:00:31.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We've made some significant \Nchanges to beams, slurs and ties,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.92,0:00:34.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,horizontal spacing, and page layout.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.50,0:00:37.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These changes have meant re-writing \Nsome of our engraving algorithms
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.47,0:00:41.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and setting new default positions for \Nvarious kinds of notated elements.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.84,0:00:46.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if in an earlier version of MuseScore \Nyou found yourself manually adjusting
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.40,0:00:49.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something like this beam because \Nyou didn't like its default position,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.43,0:00:52.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then those manual adjustments may \Nappear differently in MuseScore 4
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.93,0:00:55.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the default positions \Nfor beams have now changed.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.84,0:01:00.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or here, for example, where the spacing \Nbetween these notes is pretty inconsistent.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.24,0:01:02.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You might have previously tried \Nto adjust the layout stretch
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.99,0:01:05.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or the leading space to fix this.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.15,0:01:08.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In MuseScore 4, we've had to reset the \Nlayout stretch so our new horizontal
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.80,0:01:14.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,spacing system can work its magic. Now these \Nnotes look consistently spaced, by default.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.48,0:01:16.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You might have also moved \Nslurs like these, for example,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.81,0:01:20.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that they're closer to their \Nassociated note stems or beams.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.60,0:01:24.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Slurs in MuseScore 4 will now \Nadopt these positions automatically.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.80,0:01:27.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The good news is that our new \Ndefault positions across the board
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.93,0:01:29.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are much better than they were before,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.96,0:01:33.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,meaning you'll need to make far fewer \Nmanual adjustments in your new scores.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.52,0:01:36.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And while we do try to preserve \Nas much of the manual customisation
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.75,0:01:39.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you might have previously made, \Nwe'd like to encourage you now to
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.94,0:01:44.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,manually reset these styles when you \Nopen your older scores in MuseScore 4.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.39,0:01:46.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Resetting your styles is really easy:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.88,0:01:52.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,First, go to Format > Style and then\Nclick "Reset all styles to default".
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.40,0:01:57.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as an additional step, select everything \Nby using Control A (or Command A on a Mac),
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.68,0:02:00.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then go to \NFormat > Reset shapes and positions.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.96,0:02:05.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now your score will use our new default \Npositions and improved algorithms.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.44,0:02:07.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For a more thorough look at all our \Nengraving improvements,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.79,0:02:09.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how they might affect your older scores,
