Chord symbol improvements Chord Symbol Formatting Special thanks to Marc Sabatella for implementing most of the accessibility improvements. MuseScore is one of the very few score writers able to make that claim, and this will open up the world of music notation for many blind musicians. With MuseScore 3.3, blind users are able to read, edit, and create scores, with access to almost all program features.

Perhaps most significantly, the palette redesign discussed above includes keyboard navigation support, allowing blind users full access to all the symbols provided by MuseScore.

We also improved the tab ordering of various windows and made other improvements to keyboard access of controls within MuseScore. The navigation commands also continue to work and to pick up where you left off even when the selection is cleared. Navigation commands now give keyboard access to almost all score elements, and the screen reader feedback (using NVDA on Windows) has been enhanced and optimized to be as complete as possible and also reduce redundancy. Blind users were thus limited in what they could do.įor MuseScore 3.3, we have removed most of the remaining accessibility barriers. But many operations - especially operations relating to creating or editing scores - continued to rely on the mouse or fail to provide appropriate screen reader feedback. MuseScore has long made accessibility for blind and visually impaired users a priority, and previous releases of MuseScore have provided some degree of keyboard and screen reader support to allow blind users to navigate and read scores. It allows entering notes right after clicking proper duration without extra clicking 'N'. The changes were not massive, but significantly improve the UX of the Note Input workflow. Mattmcclinch generously helped the project and implemented the most significant part of the usability improvements. One more thing we wanted to see in the MuseScore 3.3 release is the Tantacrul's Note Input workflow redesign implementation. We are focusing on new users to let them understand MuseScore's facilities faster and easier, yet keep the workflow for experienced users the same or significantly simplify it. We have already implemented essential improvements related to the appearance, usability, and customization possibilities of the palettes. We made the interactions more intuitive and integrated the semantic of Master Palette to the palette panel.Ĭheck out the video describing all the palette improvements! Note Input Workflow

By the way, there are many reports from users who don't understand how to customize palette cells, how to add custom elements and rearrange existing palettes.

Palettes panel is one of the most commonly used UI elements in the editor.

In addition to dozens of bug fixes and new features, it introduces substantial usability improvements for palettes, note input workflow and accessibility. Today we are pleased to announce a significant update, MuseScore 3.3.
