rDouglass writes: MuseScore, the open source desktop application for music notation, has released version 2.0 for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. This release represents the culmination of four years of development, including technical contributions from over 400 people. In addition to a completely new UI, top features include linked parts (good for pieces with many instruments), guitar tablature, flexible chord symbols, and fret diagrams. The program integrates directly with the MuseScore.com online library of scores, and music written with the application can be displayed and played using the MuseScore mobile app.

Time to make a donation. It's not really about the application, but what it enables. The sharing of free music scores and transcriptions, enabling a vibrant community of music sharing.
While I respect publishing rights for official scores, the fact is that there is a great set of transcriptions out there. This just helps the community at large.
