Known incompatibilities with previous 2.0.x

  1. In order to make MuseScore files more compatible from one OS to an other, MuseScore 2.0.3 now ships the same version of FreeType for all operating systems. FreeType is the library which helps MuseScore to find out about the width of a notehead, for example. All the score elements metrics (but not the text) are now given by the same FreeType library. That should improve consistency across operating systems (i.e., a given score should be rendered the same on any OS with 2.0.3), but it also means that some scores might be rendered slightly differently than in 2.0.2.

  2. Slurs from one note with a stem to another note with an opposite stem are placed better in 2.0.3. Therefore, any manual adjustment to slurs in this configuration made in previous 2.0.x will look different in 2.0.3.

  3. MuseScore 2.0.3 adds cresc. and dim. dashed lines. Previous 2.0.x versions do not support this feature, and will display these lines as regular, solid hairpins. If a given score is then saved with an earlier 2.0.x and re-opened in 2.0.3, 2.0.3 will attempt to re-create the original dashed text line, but only with the default text and text properties—any changes from the defaults will be lost in this process.
