Yes, having to deal with MuseScore was one of the reasons I started to work on this. I'm glad you picked up on it.

I definitely want to release it as an open source project, but there's still quite a bit of stuff left to do before I can. The biggest blocker is copyrighted material. There's a ton of copyrighted material in the test suite (oops), so I need to clean that up before releasing.

Also I want more demo songs that are not copyrighted before releasing, and so far all the songs I notated for myself are copyrighted, so that will probably take a while as well.

Also the IDE-style editor needs a lot of polishing before I'm ok having other people use it.

There's still a lot of stuff in the language itself I want to decide (what if I wanted to change time signatures in the middle of a song?), but I'm okay with releasing the project before that stuff is done. The two biggest things I have to do before thinking of releasing this is getting rid of copyrighted material in the codebase, and polishing the IDE. But I definitely want to release it!
