Interface wise, its more user-friendly especially for those with
background knowledge in Finale. However, when it comes to doing the
work I prefer Denemo. MuseScore corrupted my music beyond repair and
their IRC channel has human-stubs (people who don't respond). In
MuseScore you can edit 4-layers of voices on one staff, note heads are
given different colours to distinguish their voice layer. The colours
do not show in the final print. I don't mind having a staff per voice
as with Denemo as long as I get a neat printout eventually. Its less
confusing working in Denemo because the application does not switch
voices (MuseScore keeps guessing you want to work on a layer that is
wrong ... so you waste a bit of time switching voices)

Would be nice if it made use of the system installed fonts for texts and
its own fonts for notes.

So how does git do updates? I would love to be up-to-date. I usually
type "svn up" for subversion to update a repo from that CMS but I have
no idea how to do that for GIT. Should I be inside the source folder
while doing the update?
