Recently composed this. Didn't know where else I could go to get feedback on it from actual banjo players.

It's made for classic nylon string banjo and playing style. MuseScore playback just doesn't have that as an option.
I'll try and play through this when I get a chance as it seems more playable (for me) than your other piece.
I would like to recommend a book...
amazon.com/gp/product/0876390742/
This book is going to give you all the info you need to make nice looking notation. One glaring thing is the "dangling 8" clef. This is a very modern thing that came about with recent software typesetting. It is purely "amateur" and no real publisher would ever use it. In fact, it is kind of a tip off.
Anyone who has read the first few pages of any banjo tutor will already know that the banjo's actual pitch is one octave lower than noted-- they don't need to be reminded.
Also, you might want to remove empty measures. I recommend that you start using banjo specific edits, right and left hand fingerings, positions, and the double flag 5th G.

I didn't know it had the ottava clef. I guess it was just something that Muse score did automatically. I will add some fingerings and stuff like that. The reason there are empty staves is I'm thinking of expanding it a bit.

You're right

I'm editing right now because I got a bit carried away with just going with what sounds good rather than what's playable.

I would recommend composing on the banjo and not on the screen. Keep, more or less, to positions and make everything playable.

Yeah I composed using pen and paper for the ending.
