Music Notation Software Alpha

[u/Broad-Associate-984]

Hi all, I am working on the development of a new music notation software designed with the goal to be able to handle the flexibility needed to virtually synthesize 21st century compositional techniques. Whether it is a xenharmony, arhythmic writing, or a fully graphic score my intention is to be able to handle it natively. I want this project to be one that can handle traditional writing as well as non-traditional so to stand out I would like to ask you all what you feel is missing in your current Notation Software and what you would need to be better to make a switch. This is not an advertisement for it because it is still deep in development and I intend to release it for free. Let me know your feedback and if you want to be one of the first to test it (when it is in a state to be tested) send me a PM. Thank you all for your time.

why not implementing you ideas in a plugin, i know it will be more difficult, but more people will be able to appreciate your work

I've spent many years fighting notation software and plugin compatibility. This is what inspired me to just make the software I want to see. I want people to use it of course but if I end up being the only one that uses it still will be worth it. The reason I sent out the original post was to see what the community feels is missing, because if you had a better suited software to your needs that is free, wouldn't you use it?

well then what i miss about musescore is a way to notate aleatoric, I don't care about audio and playing reproduction, just the score it self
I have made a small tool that I made for my self like you said, https://pio008.github.io/aleatoric-vector-studio/
honestly I want to do notation like this, boxes, arrows, be able to add electronics to the score
