Since the Audacity 3 release, the company has been bought by Muse Group, overseen by Martin Keary, the new head of design at MuseScore.

This should be very good news. Mr. Keary has been an outspoken critic of stupid things that Audacity and MuseScore do so poorly. Perhaps with him at the helm, both might finally become good.

The current plan is for both to remain free — or free-ish as MuseScore is currently.

We'll see.
