Description

Your idea

Hi everyone, I am going to post the link to the original feature request in hopes that I am able to revive the request:
https://musescore.org/en/node/314520

And the feature request from MuseScore:
https://musescore.org/en/comment/1234852#comment-1234852

Tl;dr I would love to see the Hurdy Gurdy added. I will transpose and re-upload sheet music myself for it, if the option is there. This is the best platform for odd instrument sheet music, and I think it would make a great addition!

Problem to be solved

There are not any other platforms available that contain dedicated Hurdy Gurdy sheet music.
