In this video I detail all of the amazing new features,
improvements in functionality, and the updated design and workflow efficiencies in MuseScore 4.
The video also demonstrates the ways in which MuseScore 4 helps me to create as a musician, empowering me to be my own Muse.

Brilliant! This is what composers who think notation as a primary means of setting down musical creation are looking for. At last! This by no means in any way to decry non readers!
I just downloaded MuseScore 4 and started looking up videos on RUclips. This video was one of the first that came up. Congrats David! Very informative as usual. :-)
Thanks a mil Damien. Great to hear from you, hope all is well! :)
@@DavidKennedyMusic All going good. Busy trying to juggle everything, you know yourself. :-)
Excellent instructional video - and what a piece of software. I remember struggling trying to get arrangements out of Cubase and a copy of Sibelius.....terrible🤣
Hi David. Great video. Very useful for start with. Now I would like to go a step further. Could you please tell me how should I tell musescore 4 to install a new music library that I have downloaded ? (not the new musescore 4 related. I have it already and it is great but I would love to add more libraries) Thank you very much !
Great video. Very informative. It is a very powerful tool, however, with a steep learning curve. My application is a bit different than writing music. I want to play scores already written, and just tweak them to make them my own. Also, I like this to make backing tracks to load on my keyboard as an accompany or style. This is the workflow I would like to learn more about... do you have any videos that may show this workflow? Both for keyboard, and guitar.
Hi, thanks for the comment. I don’t have that specific video. But a few places for you to start would be:
1. MuseScore.com you can download editable versions of scores here and tweak them as you like.
2. If your keyboard can load audio like WAV/mp3 files then you can export to these file types from MuseScore. Go to Files Tab > Export > Export to WAV/mp3
I know it's probably my own short-sightededness but I am struggling to find a way of recording the notes live and directly onto the score. At the moment when I play, MS4.1 stacks the notes intop of each other as a chord and I am unabe to play freely. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Thanks for any help anyone can offer. ;)
Hey, this is the page you’ll want to read. I think you’re talking about “real-time” input mode. musescore.org/en/handbook/2/note-input-modes#:~:text=note%20input%20toolbar.-,Step%2Dtime,MIDI%20keyboard%20or%20virtual%20piano
@@DavidKennedyMusic Thanks. I really appreciate that. Unfortunately, I am really strugglig with the Note Input. i am actually using my other software to record what I play, saving it as a MIDI then inporting it into MS4.1 to tidy it up but that is time consuming. There doesn't seem to be an obvious real-time entry mode and, as I said previously, the notes just stack up as chords. I know it's something I am doing (or rather not doing) but I just wondered if oters can simply play and record notes in real time?
Thanks David. This is very interesting thank you so much! I have a question. I'm working with a Large orchestra Score And i find quite disturbing while moving around the score up-and-down, To the end or to the beginning etc my question is if there is a much simple way to do it Instead of using the Computer mouse?
Hi Carlos, thanks for the kind words. In a large score like that it’s probably best to use the “find” tool. I think it’s ctrl+F activates it. A little search box pops up and you can insert a bar number. It then brings you straight to that point in the score.

Is there any way to let the capo setting influence the actual notes in the score and playback? Staff text doesn't seem to work anymore
I’m not actually sure if it’s possible to do that. Do you mean writing a piece on guitar with Capo on fret 3 and then having playback in the actually sounding pitch?
@J's Favorite Music Hey, I think there is a way to do this. If you want the tab to be read as though capo 3 is on; go into the properties, there is a settings cog ⚙️ that will allow you to reset the pitches of the open notes. So for capo 3, from low to high, you’ll have G C F Bb D G. Now when you put in open on first string with the tab, the playback will sound a G, not an E

Hi Dave! Somehow Instruments and preferrence just disappeared and i can't get them back.
Wonder what have I done wrong..... also what's the quickest to get handwritten notation?
..... please help? 🙏
Look in the View menu to get them back.
Sorry for the delay, yes the view tab will bring them back for you. Hand written notation (like a jazz lead sheet style) can be set from the format tab in the “style” area. You can actually save styles to so that the default font is the handwritten style every time you open up MS
Is there a way to turn off reverb on the metronome?
I’m not sure, but to get around that I change the sound of the metronome to a software instrument I have (you can do that now in MS4 with the VST support)
Where's image capture?
Hey Antônio, as far as I know they’re recreating Image Capture from scratch to make it better and it couldn’t be done in time for MS4 but will return in a further release.
As a long time Musescore user, I can only say that I disagree 1000% with you. I have used Musescore 4 extensively and consider it a tremendous downgrade to Musescore 3. The only advantage to Musescore 4 is that it does do a very slightly better job than Musescore 3. Other than that, Musescore4 is basically cripple-ware. To say that it makes the workflow more efficient is absolute insane! The muse-sounds have improved since the initial release, but they are totally inadequate for any serious work. The dynamics are complete unpredictable so you cannot use Musescore 4 for anything serious. Even if the sounds were reasonable, they only work in Musescore 4, if you write something in MU4, you cannot clean it up in a DAW. There are so many things that can be done in MU3 that are impossible in MU4 that it makes no sense for anyone other than a rank non-musician to use MU4.
Hi Jim, thanks for commenting. I suppose this video is very specific to my own uses of MS4 so it’s inevitable it wouldn’t suit all and as you say in some cases MS3 might actually be more beneficial for some users. I do like the new workflow and having things more immediately accessible. While cleaning up audio in a DAW might be a pain, the fact that MS4 now supports Vst instruments means you can bring your DAW to MS4. This has specifically been a game changer for me in bringing my scores to life. I do my basic and initial sound design in MS4 and then when I get to my DAW I can do more heavy lifting things with regard to mixing etc. The last thing I’d say is that the MuseScore 4 overhaul on the “under the hood” stuff means that there will be improvements going forward at a much greater rate and I am excited for those. I know there is probably this sentiment from MS users “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” but some of the things I have been wishing for have either been delivered in MS4 or are in the pipeline.
