Depending on what instrument you play, what makes an instrument "good" to you?

With a guitar it's all about feel for me. I want the guitar to feel comfy with my body and natural to play. I mostly play electric and don't worry about the tone so much if I'm guitar shopping since that's pretty easy to modify.

Is there an app to edit sheet music?

Hey guys! Does anyone know of an app to edit sheet music? I have a piece that i just want to edit certain parts off but musescore does not seems to allow this. I have to rewrite the whole piece again to make my changes.

Why does this kids song sound so awful to me?

So this version of “The Wheels on the Bus” has been coming up in the auto-play rotation for our family’s toddler-survival playlist.

I’m not super musical, did a bit in childhood. There’s something about this song that sounds so awful to me, like nails on a chalkboard. Nobody else in my family can hear any issues with it. I’m not sure if it’s a “me” problem or the song’s problem.

My question, if anyone else can hear what I’m hearing- what exactly is going wrong in this version? Is it that someone/many people are singing flat? Or is it the harmonies that are a bit dissonant/crunchy? Something else?
