About

Welcome to my channel, a place dedicated to exploring mainly music... but sometimes other things too. Philosophy, design and reflections on contemporary culture may pop up from time to time, so don't say I didn't warn you. About me: I'm a musician first and foremost. I also have a product design background and I currently run two open source creation apps: Audacity and MuseScore.

Video Description

MuseScore 4 is a complex music composition app for Mac, PC and Linux. Its predecessor (V3) was enormous and incredibly hard to overhaul. In this video, I take you through that process: how we built the team; how we made design decisions and how we improved its playback & engraving quality.
