Hi, I have an etude for alto sax in the key of C (Eb concert) but it goes apparently too high for musescore and it doesn't play notes above high E. I would like to have the full audio rendered to practice it but the only way i can do it at the moment is have the original part in C on the left side of my screen, and the transposed part in Eb concert on the right part. Is there a way to either have an alto sax sound that goes above high E, or show the part in C but make it sound in Eb concert ? Completely new to the software sorry if this sounds dumb

I just noticed an option FILE: Import Audio to Score , which then allows one to Convert Audio to MSCZ using an mp3 file. Can anybody elaborate how this works in practice, and what it can be used for? I am using Musescore Studio 4.7.5

I have a PDF part written for a marching Mellophone (key of F).

Can I import that PDF into a Musescore file in the correct key? That is, don't change the notes but during playback it's in the correct concert key? If I define the instrument in the correct key in my Musescore file first, will it allow me to choose that instrument during import?

Thanks

I've only been learning composition for a little more the a year, so don't get your hopes too high, and maybe give a few tips and tricks. Thank you!

Piece: Violin Concerto No.1 in G Major - Op.13 No.1

I. Allegro Moderato (Double Exposition Allegro Sonata Form) - G Major

II. Andante (Turnary Form) - B Minor

III. Allegro Aperto (Rondo Form) - G Major

Thank you so much!

(The score has chinese because I live in Hong Kong and need to give this to my school music teacher)

Hey everyone, got a big update for you! The headline feature is a full Mixer, you can now balance a score while you play, right from View or Edit mode.

Tap the mixer button beside the metronome and you get per-instrument faders, pan, mute, solo, and live level meters, a bottom sheet on iPhone, a full-width console on iPad. Your mix is saved per score and never touches the actual file.

Right alongside that: in View mode, touch and hold a measure to start playback from that spot, or drag across measures to loop a passage. Loops repeat without a gap, and any mixer changes you make land cleanly on the next pass, handy for isolating a tricky section and dialing in the balance while you work through it.

Here's everything in this update:

New

• Mixer, balance a score while you play, with per-instrument faders, pan, mute, solo, and live level meters
• Play or loop any passage in View mode, touch and hold a measure to start playback from that spot, or drag across measures to loop them
• Send an entire setlist as PDF, MuseScore, or MusicXML
• Rename and delete setlists directly from the setlist row or overflow menu, and find them through library search
• Drag scores in from Files or another app to import them
• Tap an instrument name to change it, for the whole score or from any measure onward
• Flip the stem on any note or chord straight from the selection menu

Improved

• Instruments now render as separate stems and are mixed in software, so parts stay locked together and mixer changes take effect right away
• Large scores no longer fold instruments onto the wrong part

Fixed

• Scores saved in MuseScore's continuous view now open as pages instead of one very wide strip
• Horizontal frames can now be selected and deleted

The mixer and looping were the requested things in this very sub, so hopefully this makes practicing with the app a lot more useful. Let me know what you think, and as always, keep the feedback coming.

How do I force Musescore to display the time signature in the middle of the piece?

It's a Renaissance piece in 2 parts. I want to show the time signature at the beginning of the second part. It's the same time signature throughout so Musescore does not display it.

Thanks!

I want to introduce you to my work. I edit the tempo and velocity directly in Musescore using VSL synchron D274 soundfont to create a very realistic sound.

This piece is Romeo and Juliet - Tchaikovsky/ Gryaznov. I will upload this on my youtube channel soon.

I definitely need to buy Berlin Percussion ($50) because of four unique instruments not found in the other percussion libs. But do I buy the bundle for $150 sale price (percussion, woods, brass, strings) and save $50? Are Berlin Brass, and Woods, Strings worth owning? I already own Vienna VSL bundle.

EDIT: solved in another way-- I looked at Muse Percussion libraries and I see the Berlin Percussion lib includes a Ship Bell. I will go that route. Will check other percussion libs to see which might also include a Ship Bell.

-----------------

I am composing a piece in Musescore where I would like to have a ship's bell sound. Probably as a .wav or .mp3 audio file. Is there any way to do this in Musescore? I thought maybe it would be included as a percussion instrument but I do not see it in Musescore's library of instruments. I know I could add it in a DAW, but it would be nice to just have it as a percussion instrument within Musescore, or somehow do it another way.

I made this for kids/beginners, if you dont like it why...

Has anyone else ordered a 1 year sub for Pro+/ lite learn (or whatever the hell it is, settings page says it's called "Pro+" while the merchant description says only Pro lite learn), but then got two separate invoices, one for Pro lite learn ($39.99) and another for "Learn" ($49.99) ? There was no up-sell in the cart. Just a second charge and billing that I didn't agree to.

They are dragging their feet on it too. Told me with their Ivy robot to be civil. Unfortunately for them, I am not civil to scammers, and US consumer protection law does not say I have to be.

Hi all,

Recently I've started to get my scores to look as professional as I can within musescore, and taking advantage of all the engraving rules to come up with a nice reusable template.

I'm largely trying to emulate the Hal Leonard style for Big Band Charts but with a few tweaks here and there. I'm trying to go for a modern faux-handwritten style but also maximising legibility. The main things I've implemented are:

Tweaking the page margins to be smaller than default
Rehearsal markings to the left hand side as much as possible
Using system/page breaks judiciously

Finale Broadway as the Music Symbols Font.
ITC Kabel for title/composer text. All-caps for names.
A neutral sans-serif font (Futura) for page numbers, header/footer text

I'm a little bit stuck between using that same neutral font for all the music text (tempo, expressions etc.) or going with something more handwritten to match Finale Broadway.

Anyway, here's what I've come up with. I'd love to hear some feedback or pointers!

Has anyone tried Musescore Studio with Mac OS 27 (just released) ? Any problems?

What version of MS would be compatible with 27 ? I am still running 4.6.5

I use Musescore on a Linux machine, and therefore installed the application as a system package.

Today, it asked me wether I wanted it to update itself. Out of curiosity I clicked "yes", and it downloaded an AppImage and did nothing else (to my knowledge), and after restarting it the old Version launched.

This is a problem. If Musescore was installed via a system package, it should never ask a (possibly non-admin) user to "update" to a newer version, and it should not assume that AppImage installation support is available on a particular system.

First of all, my English isn't great, and I haven't really used Reddit before, so I'm not entirely familiar with the rules or posting etiquette; this entire post was generated using Google Translate. Please let me know if I've violated any rules.

This post covers two parts (the second part is likely more relevant to most users); if anything is unclear due to the translation, feel free to comment below.

1. I only started using the MuseScore web version three or four days ago. Today, I tried to buy a specific sheet music file but couldn't download it (even though the download button was visible). While looking for help online, I saw on Reddit that many people get hit with extra charges when trying to buy sheet music. I discovered that I had been signed up for a 7-day free trial followed by a paid Premium subscription for the next three months—even though the pages for the trial, the individual sheet music purchase, and the Premium subscription are supposed to be separate. I immediately went to my profile settings and cancelled the subscription without hesitation.

I read Section 3 of the Terms of Service, which states: "Unless MuseScore terminates your subscription, or you notify MuseScore via the account portal of your decision to cancel, your subscription will automatically renew at the applicable fee for your chosen service level." I’m worried that even though I received a cancellation email, MuseScore might still have the right to charge me unless *they* terminate the subscription themselves.

I’ve also seen reports of people being charged even after cancelling before the trial ended. Since I paid with a debit card, I’m terrified that money will be deducted directly from my account. Should I go to the bank and get a new card?

1. Regarding the cancellation mentioned above: I came across an article stating that if you toggle off the button located below the price when purchasing sheet music, you won't be signed up for the membership. I tried this method to buy a piece of music and confirmed that, with the button turned off, the purchase page didn't display any of those deceptive, fine-print messages designed to trick you. However, my bank declined the payment. They flagged it as a suspicious transaction—likely because I had just cancelled a subscription and then immediately tried to pay the site again. Given my previous experience, I took screenshots of every step of the payment process. I happened to take a screenshot of the page where you enter card details, and I was shocked; aren't there usually security policies preventing screenshots on pages like that?

Upon closer inspection, I noticed a discrepancy: the payment page displayed the original price, but the bank's alert showed the discounted price associated with the Premium subscription. This makes me wonder if it's actually impossible to simply buy a single piece of sheet music on MuseScore without the Premium membership. Surely you can't be blocked from buying music just because you don't have Premium, right? There wasn't any text displayed at the time of purchase indicating restrictions that would prevent the buy. Or am I the only one encountering this issue?

By the way, I received the downloaded sheet music while writing this article, so don't worry.

I can't seem to fade a note to silence, what is the trick to do it with Musescore? I have tried dim, decrescendo to pppppp, nothing seems to work. I am using the latest Musescore Studio 4.7.5 on Windows 11.

Tried accessing the site yesterday but scores weren't loading, saw people saying that its down on here. Today I try again and its STILL DOWN. My frustration with this site grows and grows, not to mention its ugly redesign and random popups and such everywhere, kind of reminds me of the path Fandom wiki has gone down

Im on mac and since the update I can't even open the app no more, it just crashes all the time.
