About this item

MuseScore's main purpose is the creation of high-quality engraved musical scores in a "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get" environment.
t supports unlimited staves, linked parts and part extraction, tablature, MIDI input, percussion notation, cross-staff beaming, automatic transposition, lyrics (multiple verses), fretboard diagrams, and in general everything commonly used in sheet music.
Style options to change the appearance and layout are available, and style sheets can be saved and applied to other scores. There are pre-defined templates for many types of ensembles. Functionality can be extended by making use of the many freely available plugins.
MuseScore can also play back scores through the built-in sequencer and SoundFont sample library. Multiple SoundFonts can be loaded into MuseScore's synthesizer. There is a mixer to mute, solo, or adjust the volume of individual parts, and chorus, reverb and other effects are supported during playback.

The disk comprises the complete notation capabilities of the online (downloadable) with the addition of accessible license information and the capability of multiple working copies in a form suited to extended DAW workup. There are some surprises, such as a playback capability, a MIDI connection option, and so forth.

I was amazed at the how well the the on-line learning program functioned. This was much more than I thought I was buying.

I bought this to convert pdf drum tabs to midi files. Used the "experimental" pdf converter, no joy. Next I wanted to use musescore to annotate a classical guitar tab. Again I used the "experimental" pdf converter, downloaded the resultant file, opened it with musescore and it's junk. All bass clefs, no notes. There are no bass clefs in my original guitar tab. I hope I turned off the auto renewal correctly because the auto renewal works just fine. I really feel violated.

5.0 out of 5 stars I want to express how much I love using this software

Yes, this software can be downloaded for free. Having said that, I want to express how much I love using this software. I own both Sibelius and Finale notation software (the Professional versions). I prefer to do nearly all of my composing in Musescore. The reason for that is because I feel that Musescore is more intuitive and user friendly. I get more work accomplished in less time using this software. The biggest problem with using Musescore is the sound quality of the instruments on playback -- probably not an issue for people who mix there own sound. I get around the sound problem by converting Musescore compositions into MIDI files and importing them into Finale. Probably not the best solution available, but works well enough for me.

Great program, but this program is available for free (and legally) at musescore.org. DOWNLOAD IT THERE INSTEAD!!!
