Igor Korsukov led core engineering efforts on the musescore/MuseScore repository, architecting a modern audio subsystem and advancing cross-platform web and desktop capabilities. He migrated audio processing to worker threads and introduced a robust RPC framework, improving performance and reliability for real-time playback. Using C++ and QML, Igor refactored UI actions, streamlined build automation with CMake, and enabled asynchronous workflows for both audio and user interface components. His work included integrating WebAssembly for browser-based features, enhancing automated testing, and centralizing resource management. These contributions delivered a scalable, maintainable codebase that supports rapid feature delivery and stable, responsive user experiences.

During October 2025, the MuseScore project advanced core audio architecture and UI reliability, delivering a more responsive audio experience and broader platform support. Key features include moving the audio engine to the driver thread with centralized RPC callbacks and exec operation support, implementing a Wasapi audio driver, and a comprehensive UI actions/shortcuts overhaul to improve customization and consistency. The RPC and audio queue upgrades establish a robust, lower-latency streaming path with new queues and an audio RPC channel. An audio work mode option was added to give users more control over processing, complemented by a ticker subsystem and Autobot test to improve stability and test coverage. We also tackled critical bugs: fixed Note::styleChanged, corrected isShortcutContextAllowed for disabled shortcuts, resolved notation page double initialization, and addressed audio signal reception issues. These changes collectively improve reliability, performance, and developer efficiency, enabling smoother audio processing, easier user customization, and a stronger foundation for future features.
