I hope you enjoyed this walkthrough of all of the new additions to MuseScore version 3.6. Please let me know if you have any questions on how to use MuseScore :)
Hello Mark. In 3.6.they removed the "Score" option under Format. I need to hide blank measures and replace them Can you tell me where they've moved that? Thanks!
I cannot remember how to do an advanced selection. For example, I want to select all the chords of the sheet (to change color, font, size). How can I do it, without having to select one by one?
HELLO, HOW DO I UNITE NOTES WITH DIFFERENT VALUES ON MUSESCORE. FOR EX. COUNTERPOINT ON ONE STAFF. IF I TRY TO DO THAT THE NOTE JUST DIVIDES ITSELF. TO SEE WHAT I MEAN SEE THE OPENING OF BRAHMS' FIRST PIANO TRIO.
Once I export the file in PDF as Alto Sax, although I saw a single line note but with a lot notes together in one time space. How can only see the exported music sheet in only saxophone instead of reading as a chord with multiples note?
I have a choir colleague whose eyesight is failing. He can no longer read standard A4 size, portrait, scores. He would like his scores converted to A4, landscape, but with only 4 enlarged, lines/staves per sheet. When I have tried to use Musescore for this the Import pdf converter only returns a file with staves but no lyrics, headings, page numbers. In fact no text at all. Is there a way that Musescore can convert everything on the original pdf to an editable format?
thanks for the informative video. i wonder if you could help with a problem? i’m a guitar player with no formal training. when i write harmony in the bass clef, i get these unwanted symbols that i can’t remove. they look like some kind of rest symbol and they interfere with notes a,b,c and d in the bass clef. Do you know how to remove them? if i go back to 3.2 i can remove with “show invisible”. Thanks
Thank you for your question. Yes, MuseScore can turn a Midi file into sheet music. I have a video on how to do this, you can find it here: ruclips.net/video/yMwAmD4rh-0/видео.html I hope this helps!
OMG! This is so hard! I just wrote somethign and I come back today and can't figure out anything! I can't figure out how I added a trebble clef to my tab. I can't figure out why sometimes I can put in the wrong note and go back and sometimes I cna't even put new notes in! Inane! I bought notebook. I wish it were here today since the music in my head is hear today. Just setting something to four measures per line is impossible!
From my experience MuseScore has been extremely intuitive to use (like a “word processor”), although I don’t know how to set the score to any specific number of measures per line either lol. However, I might have answers for the other things you mentioned - the treble clef is in one of the palettes (called “clefs,” possibly), or if you can’t the specific palette at first, you can just search for it with the search bar at the top of the palettes page. Then, you just drag the treble clef to a note or rest in your desired measure. Not sure exactly what you mean with “I can’t figure out why sometimes I can put in the wrong note and go back,” but make sure that you’re in “note input mode” (by pressing N on the keyboard or by clicking the “note input mode” button in the toolbar) when you’re trying to write notes. Maybe more of these type of tutorial videos will help, but I would also recommend you watch Tantacrul’s video on Musescore, which is unfortunately neither a tutorial nor up to date, but is nonetheless informative. Good luck
@@noamginsparg92 Thank you Noam. I am finally starting to calm down some. I've only been putting my musical phrases for my practice uke solo in for now. After I had created a uke tab, I tried to drag the trebble clef over but maybe I didn't press "N?" Pressing "N" is the secret that is at least letting me get the notes from my fingers and head to the page and just for now that's all I need. Won't someone call me "friend?" Gary Numan reference aside, I am saying I just created a trebble clef on my second or third attempt and after I discvoered the "secret of 'N'" I have been getting the notes in and I am even getting better at reading them when I try to replay what I wrote with my uke. All mispelled words are left intentionally as possible future song lyrics.
@@supercomicfuntime1375 Good to hear! I think you definitely don’t have to use the N to change clefs (you just have to drag it over a rest, measure, or note - you’ll see it’s working when the notes and rests highlight blue, and when the measure highlights red) but pressing it isn’t a huge hassle anyway, so it isn’t a big deal.
@@noamginsparg92 To repay your kindness I will tell you this: To set the number of measures on a line they call them "system breaks." So you go to Format -> Add/Remove System Breaks. A dialog box will pop up and say something confusing like "Break systems every [select] measures." I have no idea what "systems" are but it does the trick. I found a reference at first to an older version that seemed like it was clearer, something like "set 4 measures per line." But, as I have learned from working with Linux for far too long: "As things progress they have to become more complicated and confusing. This provides job security." I'm not sure who wants that, but people seem to.
Thank you for question Nokcha! There are a couple ways, but the first way I would try is to go to File (in MuseScore), then click on Import Pdf. It should take you to this website: musescore.com/import You will need a MuseScore account ( which is free) for this option. Once you are there, follow the instructions listed. I believe this is a new method of importing pdf files and I was able to use it successfully. Please let me know if this works for you. Thank you again!
I know that MuseScore is very proud of the cosmetic changes they made, and I am sure that it took a great deal of work. But who is to say which note shape ellipse is nicer/better than the previous one, or that the treble/bass clefs are prettier. They all look good old and new. The most important thing about music is how it sounds to the listener when played, not how it looks on the page. (as long as it is very legible). The audience does not see the notes and what exact shape of the note or stem length are, nor do they care. They hear the music and that is what matters most. I found the use interface to be awful and not as intuitive as other programs. I know that with time even the most complex labyrinth can be learned but why write it that way? I have a degree in Engineering, (founded and engineering company which I still run), and another degree in Theory and Composition, I speak 4 languages, ( I am no dummy), yet I find this program cumbersome to learn. I was in touch with Tantacrul about this. He agreed with me and this is something which will be tackled in future releases. Given that there are numerous contributors to the software all over the globe, it appears that many were left to their own devices and wrote what made sense to them. In engineering there is a popular saying that a horse designed by a leaderless committee looks like a camel. It has four legs and can run but it is not a horse. I do not understand that they gave visual appearance more importance than usability and ease of use. For years I have been writing music by hand using and ink pen with a special three pronged nib. I became very good at it even though the ellipse shapes/sizes and stem lengths were not perfectly identical and the clefs were not perfectly slanted and sized but were perfectly legible. I am learning version 3.5 at the moment and I see no appreciable difference in the notation's appearance between it and 3.6 ... they are both very good looking to me. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I hope that in their next version #4, they will give more importance to ease of learning rather than which ellipse note shape is better. What if Tantacrul leaves and a new developer else decides to reverse his changes :) MuseScore is free and there is a major advantage in that. I recommended that they charge a $10.00 annual user fee. That will bring $50,000,000 to the company coffers. Even the most indigent student can afford $10.00 per year. They spend more than that on weekly weed supply :)
@@PianoSpiceRackwithJim I like Overture: I can use all VST instruments and plugins. (Native Instrument Kontaktc etc) That@s something I really miss in Musescore
The point of music notation is that is meant to be read. Musical playback is not important for notation, especially since Musescore already has good playback. It would be nice if they had VST support for Noteperformer and other VST's, but if you seriously do not see the difference in layout between 3.5 and 3.6, then I doubt you use the software much or you have only been using it for a short amount of time, because the vertical layout update is huge.
Just by looking at your comment it has become clear why nice noteheads and typefaces are not important to you. As an engineer you surely don't need further explanation.

Can you help, I installed the update and now it crashes as soon as I open it.
Try de- installing and then re-Installation. ;)
Don‘t forget to Save your scores and Notation to a separate Folder in your Desktop ☺️
@@GSA_Drums Thanks I will try this
@@GSA_Drums Thanks for the advice, I saved my scores and the reinstallation works fine!
