Has anyone attempted to fork the project?
- reikonomusha 3y agoMuseScore (the program) is well maintained and under the design helm of Martin Keary, who has absolutely turned the program around in the last few years. It's also an extraordinarily complex program requiring pretty elaborate means for helping its users, of which there's a huge variety. (Musicians, much like software engineers, make use of many different practices when it comes to writhing/transcribing/composing music.) It's not clear what benefits forking would accomplish, other than vague ideological ones from dissociating the software from its incumbent brand.

But yes, there are various projects to 'libre'-ate these portions of the community, though I don't personally have any experience with them. My own personal beef with them comes from when my middle school child wanted to learn some specific piece, and I thought "Oh I can probably get that done through this great OSS project I have been hearing a lot about the past couple of years. I should support them." Dear Reader, I made a terrible mistake.
