Before MuseScore changed ownership, the goal of the web site seemed to be for Marc Sabatella to sell books to explain the free application. Since he wrote the incomprehensible documentation, it always came off as a bait and switch. His answer to so many 'how to' inquiries was 'buy my book'. Inquiries as to why (name function here) didn't exist were always answered by his long-winded explanation as to why no one needed that functionality.

MuseScore is vastly improved now that he is no longer in charge. I can't imagine that money being well spent.

The business model has changed. Instead of the goal being the sale of Marc's books, the revenue stream has now shifted to encouraging users to upload scores for free and charging others to download them. The app itself is still available at no charge, however.
