Not an actual issue but thanks for being hero we need but dont deserve

[kir12]

real scummy move on musescore.com's part to suddenly make the entirety of downloading paywalled

[trevortrusty]

Agreed. I'm not okay with me putting my arrangements I worked hard to score onto the website if they are going to make people pay for it while I'm doing it for free. Makes no logical sense, and I will be using this script in my browser from now on.

[quizilkend]

Totally agreed!

[answer2question]

thank you for providing a resource that makes music free for everybody. you are a GOAT.

[zyf722]

many thanks for the script to the developers

@trevortrusty How about marking your work as original work then, thus making them freely available again?
I agree that copyright legislation doesn't always make sense; but publishing an arrangement is not allowed without consent of the copyright holder.
This isn't musescore.com rule, it is law.

You really are the hero we need but don't deserve. This script works awesome on Chrome, and it's so easy to use. Thanks so so much for putting in the effort. <3

I see what you're saying, but is posting sheet music to musescore really publishing? I can't imagine posting a mscz file to the musescore platform being the same thing as publishing your sheet music on musicnotes.com for example.

It is in they eye of the law; publishing a score means making it publicly available, regardless of whether you monetize that or not.

Xmander先生/女士，请问有什么方法可以代表我对您的感谢？

[Mabinogi-delight]

@jeetee That's why the entire copyright law thing is BS. An archeologist can spent years trying to recover text from ancient tomb, yet his work is not protected by copyright. However, someone taking a picture of the very same tomb can get copyrighted.

I don't disagree, but I also don't think MuseScore is to blame for the current law. Especially when they've put in the effort to protect all uploaders from prosecution and still allow everyone to view/playback many of those protected scores for free.

An archeologist can spent years trying to recover text from ancient tomb, yet his work is not protected by copyright. However, someone taking a picture of the very same tomb can get copyrighted.

His work would be the recovery of the text, not the text itself. Since he did not "create" something it indeed can't get copyrighted. The photo can be considered an original work of art considering its composition, which indeed can get copyrighted. But that copyright can only hold if the composition itself is unique enough, just a random smartphone snapshot of the tomb is not protected by copyright law, as there again (just as with the archaeologist recovery) no original creative content has been created.

Er... I'm Xmader without the n in the middle. My name is not an actual word, or the compound of two words. I picked the name by hitting my keyboard randomly back in 2015.

[bucketohwater]

Thanks for this, this is amazing!

[ajlee2006]

Thank you very much Xmader for your work.

[ghost]
