Open Source Music Notation has come so far!

It is so cool to see how far MuseScore has come. When I was in college, using the open-source MuseScore was fully not an option between its bugs, and the quality of playback and the fiddliness of making anything legible. The idea of using it for anything serious was practically a joke. Even for simple stuff like I was doing, it would have been a huge time sink, so I saved up for a copy of Finale....
