I am cross-posting this to two Finale groups and the Sibelius group, so
I apologize to those who may get this message 2 or 3 times.
MuseScore 3 has just been released and as always with whole number
upgrades, there is much improvement over the previous versions.
It's a totally free download, and for many people (students and
composers/arrangers who don't need the fully professional capabilities
of Finale or Sibelius or Dorico) it is an excellent tool to get musical
thoughts clearly printed.
<https://musescore.org/en/3.0>
It imports and exports MusicXML files (both uncompressed .mxl and
compressed .xml files) and there's even an experimental "Import PDF"
function whereby you upload a PDF of music to the musescore web-site and
an on-line converter tries to convert the PDF to a functional MuseScore
file. Once converted you can download the converted file to your local
hard-drive and open it in MuseScore. My simple trial returned excellent
results!
MuseScore continues to astound me with the incredible leaps it takes
with each whole-number upgrade, and I urge you all to check it out, even
if only so that you can recommend it to others who may want a powerful
notation program but who can't afford Finale/Sibelius/Dorico.
