As someone who was entirely new to MuseScore, I discovered that using the software to input music was an incredibly enjoyable experience. Initially, I encountered a few challenges and minor mishaps as I navigated through the various features and functions.
However, after spending some time watching instructional videos and tutorials, I gradually began to understand how everything worked. With patience and practice, I soon became more confident in my abilities and started to appreciate the full range of capabilities that MuseScore offers for music composition and notation.
The learning curve was certainly there, but the satisfaction that came with mastering the software made the journey all the more rewarding.
I bought Finale 26 and Sibelius 8.5 and I paid so much money but this musescore is far far away much better the best easy to use and very beautiful Layout well done musescore community god bless you and I wish I know about before
If this is easy to use then I'd hate to see what those other programs were like.
@@BradTheThird Nah. This is pretty easy to use.
@@BradTheThird finale is the worst unituitive interface you'll ever encounter. iI think it is dead now.
@@BradTheThirdgo watch tantacrul's (who actually led this massive musescore redesign) on sebelius and finale.
Same here!! Since you've been working in Sibelius I let myself to ask you the question regarding typing the notes. I work on this jazz piece and there is a plenty of things I can just copy and paste or just duplicate repetitive accords in a left hand. I am trying to find the hot keys command to repeat the note (accord). I was using something like this in Sibelius but it was long time ago and I don't remember. I believe it exist in MuseScore as well. Also cannot find the possibility to copy paste part of the measure only for R/L hand. Thank you in advance!
I am a completely new user. Just downloaded M4 2 days ago. Thank you so much to the entire team. I am starting to learn it and it is so pretty and so easy to use. Absolutely love it. 💖
I'd like to share my admiration for the MuseScore team. Agree--you've made the world a better place, sorely needed in these times. Many, many thanks.
This fast tutorial was almost exactly what I was looking for. I think a key thing missing is editing instruments instructions, like adding them, deleting, interchanging, etc
Musescore 3 was great but this new iteration is fantastic! Thanks so much for the new version.
you have made the world a better place. thanks.
I used to be a Sibelius fan but never moved past 6. This is amazing. It has the intuitive interface as the one i loved in Sibelius, but the menus are so more accessable. It's soooo easy to use, and it looks great. Great work guys!!!!!!
I bought one of the big notation programs a while back, however learning how to use it has turned out to be quite a roadblock for me. Seeing the growing popularity of Musescore, I thought “ah well, I’ll give it a try”. And it’s actually not only easy, but also fun to use. So thank you everybody who’s making this program possible 😊
This is well explained, and just the right amount of things inside. Thanks a lot for this and your amazing work on Musecore 4 !
Thank you! This is an amazing tool for us composers. And it's free!
This is the best thing I've ever downloaded, and the best part is that we do not have to pay for it!
Thank you so very much for making this software free to use and open source, may God bless you!
Will our current custom keyboard shortcuts be preserved when transitioning to V4?
update: I got it myself, and no you it doesn't transfer custom keyboard shortcuts automatically, it's an entirely new program.
This is a serious design and functions over hall. I'm loving this
It's the best app to write scores, thanks!
An amazing gift to musicians and composers... Major thanks to the Musescore team. Although I can't find the switch that enables the tick-box that enables the Niente marking :(
And what do we do to access Jankman?
Ребята, вы - лучшие!
My son uses your platform. His work is amazing!
I used to use Kurzweil stuff ( Cakewalk ) years ago, but I'm loving this!
Hello! I'm new user too. It's very interesting to learn this program and it's wonderful that so great work is absolutely free. Thank you so much for MuseScore!
I'm a new user and I'm using this mostly to simplify guitar music for some of my young beginner students. I completed my first arrangement without looking at the instructions. It's got several mistakes. I'll be watching these tutorials when I have time.
The best Score program I've ever used...
Really feeling grateful for the awesome program and all your neat instructions. Thx!!
this is every composer's dream!
its better than a composers dream
its literally perfect
Excellent video!
Really clear and concise
i am making my own version of Avengers with Orchestra and Drumset and this really helped since theres really difficult parts!
do you know how to add other parts? i'm making a violin duet and whenever I add the second violin part it comes up with no bars and i can't add notes
And...this is free? how the heck, thank you!
i'm having so much trouble with this program, I cannot delete rests or replace them with actual notes. super frustrating.
I wish we could dock palettes at the top of the screen.
Not a fan of having so many options buried under Properties > Appearance, especially when some were direct access in v3.
you could submit the request to the musescore forums
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I am trying to find the hot keys command to repeat the note (accord). I was using something like this in Sibelius but it was long time ago and I don't remember. I believe it exist in MuseScore as well. Also cannot find the possibility to copy and paste just 1 part of the measure only for R/L hand. Thank you in advance!
I am just starting to try Musecore after many years of using GuitarPro. However, I am finding the process pretty unintuitive. I am sure I am doing something wrong and just need to get my head round a different way of working but here is an example of something really simple that I just can't figure out. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Say I quickly enter 4 notes in bar 1 as crotchets. I then want to change the duration later to make them 4 quavers and a minus rest. When I try to shorten the duration I get quaver, quaver rest, quaver, quaver rest etc. Nothing I do lets me move position of the notes and rests to achieve the desired outcome.
What am I missing?
Try deleting the notes and add them back where you’d like
It doesn’t place the note when I click on the staff, it simply does nothing.
i know this is a year late but did you ever find out how to place the note? i am having the same issue
@@gabrielswope6952 yes😂
@@nathanielnestlehut3949 So what did you do?? lol
Thanks! I have a quick question. How do I delete a note/beat so all the following notes shift left ?
Very useful!
Could you please create a video on how to set up a standard instrument (UK) brass band score? I've been trying to do this and need it for arrangements and compositions I want to work on, but can't find some instruments such as tenor horn or Eb bass. There are scores on RUclips showing Eb bass, so it must be possible. Thanks so much.
When I try to enter triplets, the program changed the value of the note. I wanted to enter 1/8 note triplets, but after selecting triplets, the note values were changed to 16th notes.
If I have a song in the key of F, can I quickly change the entire song to key of G??? Or if I have a melody in the treble clef can I easily switch to bass clef ?
I'm having fun with this at school with my students. Some things are kind of confusing. My students were wanting to write 8 1.8th notes, like 4 "TeeTees" but it keeps inserting a rest and changing them units of 4.
I have the latest update and musescore is being really buggy.
So nobody thought about changing the tempo for a slower song ? Why can’t I find a tutorial for that it shouldn’t be this hard like bruh
How do you write down notes as you play midi keyboard ? is this possible with this program ?
And what about the quarter note ?! Yes I can write it in the program, but It is not played
Thank you for this amazing effort
Wasn't the inspector where I found all the ways to make microtonal music . Now where is that property . I'll be studying the new manual that's fer sure !
Hmm -- not sure why the dotted half note from Musescore 3 disappeared in Musescore 4. Anyone know how to create a dotted half note? I was hoping this video would explain how to create the missing dotted half.
Thank you for the tutorial. I’m writing a piece for choir using a SATB closed score, but then would like to transition to regular SATB score that separates each part for the score. Then I’d like to go back at some point in the piece. I tried adding but then it adds to the whole score. Is there a way to switch back and forth and keep a specific score style for number of measures and then go back and whatnot?
"click to place it" no it doesnt
What do you do?
Need to press n.
GOLD MINE.
These tutorials are really great. like, really great. However this video has a weird noise like sound that happens every second or so in the left channel that is a little annoying for headphone users. Not sure if there is much you can do about it aside from a re-upload, but still.
Thanks again for these tutorials!
Thanks for the lovely feedback! Can you please provide some specific times in the video where you hear this sound? I'm afraid I'm unable to hear it 🤔
@@bradley-kunda The first one happens just as the speech starts at ~3 seconds in, then one happens every 5 - 6 seconds throughout the duration of the whole video. They are particularly noticeable at the start of sentences. There is a spot where 3 happen in quick succession between 0:19 & 0:21 . At first I thought it was a pop filter that was leaking through, but its definitely working for most of the P & S sounds so I don't think its a pop filter issue.
@@Mr_Simmons I'm afraid I really can't hear what you're describing (and I'm using headphones too - a set of Beyerdynamic DT990 Pros).
I wonder if anyone else noticed this?
Have you also tried testing with a different set of headphones?
@@bradley-kunda I have a good audio interface (Roland) and good headphones (Sennheiser). I'm on Zorin OS, not Windoze. I don't hear it (and I am particularly sensitive to this kind of audio problem). Is it always in the same place? Same with a different computer or different internet connection? I'm wondering if it is a buffering issue, rather than a problem with the source material.
Is there a way to have a solo in the score and have the playback play the single voice?
I'm a new user, and i don't find anywhere on the web how to create and display harmonics, in a way that shows for example F#m or C#m over the partition... what am i missing ?
Suppose I wrote a bunch of notes, but realise that it has a pause before or between them. How can I move a group of notes without having to delete all of them to fix the matter ?
so shift clicking while using the virtual keyboard doesn't actually let me make a chord? not sure if there's a setting i changed or whatever
If i wanted to move all the notes in a bar back by one quaver, how would you do that?
sheet music is hard
I want to have more than 4 notes in a measure. How do I do that?
how do i hold a note while playing other notes instead of it automatically deleting all the notes? For example I am trying to hold a D note for the rest of the measure while playing F then a lower D
Can you use this software to edit a piano sheet pdf that you downloaded from MuseScore??? Or are scores other people have published unable to be edited? I have a score that I downloaded that needs to be corrected to reflect what’s actually played by the original artist.
Hello friends.. thank you for your efforts.. I would like to ask you, if I want to make Adlib, how can I write it?
Thank you so much. HELP! The "pen" to help the note input to write the notes is gone and I cant take it back. Do you know what to do? Musescore 4. I will appreciate it very much!
A fast way to insert octave pause and quarter note dotted? thanks
The numbers shortcuts don't work for me unfortunately... I've tried reasining them, re-downloading Ms4, downloading the nightly version, nothing does the trick. Is this an "only me" problem and is there any solution to it?
Having the same issue, num pad numbers don't work, only the numbers above qwerty keys work.
Edit: I see in the forums this is a known issue, hopefully will be fixed.
@@JanVanGalen Yes, we'll be getting on to this one very soon!
How do I get to the screen where I can compose. It just says for me to download but it’s not showing on homescreen or taking me to a websige
I absolutely hate using mouse to do WRITING. I don't write text by clicking letters with mouse. How do I write music with computer keyboard?
how do I make the lead guitar quieter
Help, how does the part score thing work...
Like making it so one person can see multople things in their score
When I typed the note A, it would go back to the beginning of a bar, it makes me feel so frustrated.
Wow. You guys are posting again. Cool
is there a plugin that destroys "classic" pauses and makes something of a grid. like pauses grid.
like in fl studio...
just it feels so problematic to jump around these
how do i remove the vertical lines?
is it possible to make "the blue line (the note pointer while it is playing) bigger? mine is too small or narrow
Sibelius made me want to drive off a bridge, this is free and so much better? How?
does ms4 have a count in feature yet?
hi! i can't add a single note in musescore 4 mac and its driving me nuts haha. i could follow all your steps to a T but when i click to add a note i simply can't! is anyone facing the same issue? :)
Is it possible to do it on mobile?
Hi! how do I make my page numbers visible?
How come that all videos dont show how to add more pages so u can compose more...and how is it sooooo complicated...just insert a button with add pages
so... how about rests?
I used to be able to remove a single note by highlighting it then remove selected range Musescore 2 .Now on Musescore 4 and it does,nt work on my P.C. even delete any idea guys
Can't you just highlight and press delete? That works for me.
How do you delete a note?
Why does muse Sounds make my whole musescore App laggs as hell? If i have 5+ Instruments and 20+ bars musescore becomes unusable with Muse Sounds
how do I change the tempo
do i need to go pro
How to move a group of notes?
I usually copy/cut and paste
muse score download is broken
Writing music for harp and piano. Yesterday, attempt 1 failed, attempt 2 on a new score worked. Saved it and closed Musescore4. Opened it today, it worked for a few bars then Musescore4 started doing it's own thing. Unwanted rests of all kinds appeared in the next bar, it wouldn't let me put a note where I wanted to put a note, cut one of the bars in half, putting the notes in the next bar, and worse, took a section and put it several bars down the page.
Seems to be too many bugs in this programme.
Why can't someone develop notation software that you can put the notes you want and the rests you want where you want without a programme putting them where IT wants.
NOT impressed.
I agree, because for the lead instrument: I cannot find the sitar in the instruments list.. or the sheet music for Norwegian Wood. That track opens on a D chord in the time signature
12/8
@@Belchmaster41 I've given up with Musescore now and used Finale Notepad to write the piece of music I needed. It did exactly what I wanted it to do. This is a free programme but I'm impressed enough to go for the full version at a later date. The only downside I could see was you can't save to PDF which makes it harder to share but it was a simple case of print out a copy, scan then email it to the pianist.
I think Musescore is trying to run before they can walk and really need to address some long-term bugs, many going back several years according to commenters on the forum.
0:41 measure 1 g-natural should be f-double-sharp
There isn't really a reason for it to be F𝄪, unless there was either an F♯︎ in the key signature, or there was a G♯︎ _before_ it in the same measure, as well as the ones after it.
Nah, writing it as G natural is correct. A double sharp would imply an irrational key, I see no evidence that this is the case. Sometimes it's better to not overcomplicate things
@JSmusic , even in those cases, most musicians would prefer to read G natural. I would only write out F double sharp if it was part of the chord, or if I was implying an irrational key, both of which are rare circumstances
@@willmorris8198 the thing is, the passage is implying c-sharp minor -- see the problem there?
the first note clearly resolves up to G-sharp
@@tc26214 I see what you are saying now. 2 possible explanations:
The passage is actually in E major, and the G natural would be the flat scale degree 3, resulting in a minor i chord (modal mixture).
The passage has music before it that is in D major, and the G is the chordal seventh of a dominant A chord, which enharmonically pivots to C# minor via German augmented 6th
@@willmorris8198 both those cases I'd rather respell to F##, but I guess that just comes down to preference at that point
Following these instruction leads to nothing. Nothing gets placed on the staff
Maybe it's just me but this has got to be the least intuitive piece of software I ever worked with.
Try the Sibelius free trial and see how far you get with that :D
HOW DARK MODE PLEASE
i downloaded an undertale soundfont so i got musescore to use the soundfont, and I DONT WANT TO MAKE REAL MUSIC AND THAT STUFF I JUST CAME TO MAKE A SONG FOR MY GAME
god bless
i hate muse score 4. Here I am trying figure out all the stupid bugs and changes.
But....but.......I came here to find out how to connect my keyboard to muse score and play the notes, having the notes appear in time on a staff. I guess that's just too much to ask. Another 4:21 blown all to hell.
There's another new tutorial, "MuseScore in Minutes: Using MIDI Keyboards". Sounds like that's what you want.
Musesore totally sucks. Can't even insert a beat to edit a measure, you have to rewrite the whole measure. You can't select groups of notes to move around or cut and paste.
Music score works but you must practice first with a piece of music or you will be nothing but frustrated
