Hi again,

I tried the current musescore pkg from extra, which is ver. 4.5.2-1. I also tried musescore-bin ver. 4.5.2-1 from AUR. These both cause glitches in my laptop's sound system.

The problem: When I run musescore 4, something goes wrong with -- I believe -- pulseaudio. It causes sound to, well, freeze. No playback sound from musescore 4, and after I exit the program there is no sound at all from that point on! In order to unfreeze it:

1) I open the pulseaudio audio mixer and go to the Playback tab. I kill any running playback processes which are leftover by musescore 4. I always find at least one of these orphan processes after I exit musescore 4.

2) Then I go to the Configuration tab and toggle my soundcard's configuration from "Analog Stereo Duplex" to "Off" then back to "Analog Stereo Duplex" again. Then sound, at least through pusleaudio, is working again.

Unfortunately, this may be a musescore 4 configuration problem that I'm failing to catch and fix. I am clueless about that. Also, I am NOT experienced with pipewire. Maybe this is a pipewire configuration problem?

OTOH, see this musescore howto documentation page: https://musescore.org/en/node/96811

So it seems there are known problems with sound and musescore ver. 4(?). When I stick exclusively to musescore3-git or musescore3 pkgs, I don't have sound problems :) HTH!

P.S.: See this forum post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=308334

provides and conflicts are not needed for this pkgbuild

Hi all,

I realized there WAS a conflict with pkg musescore3-git, so I added this. HTH :)

Edit: Remove 'not'; I was obviously typing w/o thinking...

Hi all,

I have fixed this PKGBUILD, which required adding another patch. This pkg now builds for me in a clean chroot on an up-to-date installation :)

I apologize for not maintaining this pkg for the past 15 months. I have very rarely written any music in that time, so I haven't been using musescore3.

Thank you to muneoarch for filing an orphan request. I agree. I request this pkg be orphaned because I'm just not going to keep up with it. If someone who uses musecore3 regularly wants to take it over, feel free to message me. I'm happy to help in case you have any questions.

Others have very wisely recommended looking to Jojo Schmitz's maintained git fork of musescore3, which is AUR packaged:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/musescore3-git

So please consider that AUR pkg instead :)

Thank you for your patience!

@kiasoc5

Many thanks for the note about Jojo's fork. I have packaged it here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/musescore3-git

Cheers!

@ cmsigler,

Regarding a maintained 3.6.2 fork, there's one that works for me here:

https://github.com/Jojo-Schmitz/MuseScore/tree/3.x

Here's a thread on Musescore forums about this:

Thank you very much. Very handy.

@ Antonius,

I'm very pleased that this pkg can help you! :) And any others who, like me, need to use Musescore and find that the new revision doesn't allow us to follow an efficient workflow.

Antonius commented on 2023-05-09 21:28 (UTC)

Works alongside Musescore4 now, great for whenever Musescore4 feels like breaking older files! Thank you!
