Answer: chop your score into separate parts. Two things affect the slowdown: 1) Number of instruments, 2) Length. You have limited control of tracks, because you need the instrument set necessary to play the composition. Doesn't matter if you double up four violins per track, four flutes, whatever. That is just four tracks squeezed into one track. However! You do have control over the length. So, for large orchestral (multi-instrument) pieces, break things into sections of 20-30 measures. For instance: I have a 250 measure tone poem for 50 instruments and 20 voices. I broke it into eight logical sections. Each section is now 'relatively easy' to edit. Then, create your 'master file' by pasting all the parts sequentially. It kind of sucks. BUT IT DOES WORK! However, you can't edit the master file, because it is now bulky and slow. So, to edit a section, go back to the 'individual parts', perform the edits, paste back into the master, and re-export. The issue is probably not one of A- sufficient ram, or B- fast CPU. Rather, the Musescore program itself is responsible. I remember the years and years I spent working on Microsoft internals. It took tens of thousands of the worlds finest developers to create MS Word, Office, Windows, etc. Literally billions of dollars. That investment is why our computers ran as well as they do. Musescore will get faster over time. Patience. Did I mention, it's free? Big pieces of software contain, potentially, thousands of little 'pieces' that get assembled into a final 'load module'. so, treat your Musescore works as 'assemblies' of 'components'. Other than that, you have the beginnings of a nice piece. Keep up the good work. -Thendriak
I feel the pain of the slowdown, man! 😭 I just posted a score a few days ago, but it absolutely punished my computer when writing it. I’m running 16GB RAM on a pretty powerful CPU and it took forever to scroll around the score when writing. I think the slow downs actually made writing the music take longer and more time. Hopefully it will be better optimized soon. Nice composition but the way 👌🏼
