MuseScore for Panicked Classical Musicians
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- One of the questions I get all the time is “what music notation software should I use?” It’s a difficult question, because they all have their strengths and weaknesses. MuseScore has a unique advantage: it’s completely FREE. This makes it a phenomenal starting point for musicians who are new to notation apps.
Through the corny framing device of “rehearsal is in thirty minutes!!” we are going to run through a step-by-step method for inputting your score with minimum hassle. For brevity, we’ll be skipping things that aren’t necessary, like how to enter notes with your mouse (the slowest method...) and how to use the Inspector (useful only if you love nitty-gritty details). We will do four separate passes, where we laser-focus on different elements of the score:
-First Pass: notes, rests & reference points (tempos, key signatures, repeats, etc.)
-Second Pass: articulations & slurs
-Third Pass: dynamics, techniques & expressions
-Final Pass: transposing, editing & basic formatting
I include a handy chart at the end of each section so you can refer back to it as you get the hang of the keyboard shortcuts.
Small disclaimer: I am not affiliated with MuseScore! Just a big fan of the hard work the community and the talented dev team put into it. If you’ve used older versions of the software, I definitely suggest you check out the latest version 3.6 - it’s a game-changer.

This is brilliant, the single most useful tutorial I've found on Musescore and certainly the most concise and yet crystal clear and to the point.
lol have you seen tantacruel?
@@NithinJune Well Tantacrul is cruel, when mocking the abysmal user interface of MuseScore but is still going by the username Tantacrul not Tantacruel 😎
On the other hand: he has become the new product manager for MuseScore some time ago, enhanced MuseScore’s engraving massively and the upcoming version 4 already will implement a lot of improvements regarding design in general and UI specifically.
I thought Musescore hated me, turns out I just needed this video
This video is so bloody good, I checked for a full tutorial playlist and was gutted to find this was the only one. This is the best Musescore video I've seen. Thanks dude! PS - I still subbed :)
I've written simple scores before, but this was very helpful! One useful thing we can mention too: Using shift to do chords in note input.
wow, this is one of the best guides I’ve seen for musescore; i’m taking an arranging class this semester and i get the vibe this is gonna come in handy pretty soon
thank you for making this so easy to follow and for putting so much thought into what the most crucial information is :)
Absolutely.
...i've been manually adjusting bar width instead of using system breaks this whole time. brutal. so helpful, thanks.
Where has this been all my life?
Wow! - Excellent, Interesting and Very Informative Tutorial Video.
i've been using for musescore for a while and still found this video really useful
thank you💕💕
I'm already pretty familiar with Musescore but I learned a lot! thanks
Thanks you Sir. You explained very well and clearly
Outstanding video! I really learned a great deal. Thank you
What a great video. Thanks. Really helpful.
Best tutorial in the PLANET!
Great video. Excellent fast paced info for us brainy know-it-alls that hate waisting time!!!! Thank you!!!
Excellent. I wish all videos were this concise and packed with information.
so underrated, i've been using musescore for 5 years and I didn't know some of these shortcuts. Keep the good work!!
Excellent tutorial! Well explained! 💪👍😘
I am totally panicking exactly like the intro !! haha I am so glad I found this!!
This is the best instructional video that I have seen on anything. Thank you so much.
This is really good! And I only watched 7 minutes of this.
Thanks
I just downloaded MuseScore 4 and I'm bookmarking your very helpful video!
I can't go beyond 3. so this is a great video, just information. Rapid, but thorough.
You said you would link to a video if MuseScore updated. Well, MuseScore 4 is out. Thought you should know.
I've learned a lot! Thank you!
Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I've been using MuseScore for several years (after migrating over from Sibelius 6.1) and, while I thought I had everything down pretty well, you've exposed quite a few new shortcuts that should really help to streamline my workflow. Cheers!
By far the most helpful MuseScore tutorial I’ve found - and trust me: I searched extensively. I don’t want to copy from @D Gary Grady but the words “concise”, “crystal clear” and “to the point” are justified. Some of your explanations answered questions, I hadn’t even known to ask, transposing instruments or the difference between staff text and expressions.
Nice one, thanks a bunch :-).
Duuude! This is brilliant, compressed information just as I like without any bullshit and overchewing... This gonna be worth multiple review :P Thanks!
Engaging, funny, and super useful! I am a new Musescore user, and I am starting with version 4. This video was made with version 3. Practical tips and shortcuts are virtually the same. There are some minor Differences in the interface that one has to hunt for in v. 4. This version three tutorial is still a top-notch introduction for version four users. Taran has some very useful screenshots that summarize the basic techniques. It would be great if these were made available outside of the video, perhaps in a PDF. Thanks for doing this video and making it available to the general public :-)
Thank you for making an advanced tutorial without talking to me like I can barely read music. I have found some good channels with tips but they're always 10 min videos with only 3 tips and too much basic explanation. I hope you'll consider doing more videos like this with further tips on layouts, tempos, and especially dealing with piano specific issues. I am using MuseScore to notate my free improvisations and your video has already helped me a lot. Especially that V shortcut for voice 2 rests. I think I'll enter in some Debussy next just to get used to the program. I like your idea of doing different passes too. I've definitely only done pass 1 on my pieces, I need to get into them deeper.
Thank you kind sir!
Fantastic thanks so much!!!!!!
Fabulous! Thank you so much. I've watched a couple of other Musescore tutorials, but they were designed more for folks with little experience with different programs and were too basic for my needs. This hit everything at the level I work at while still being good for beginners. Thanks especially for all the keyboard shortcuts!!! I haven't had the time to research those, and now I don't have to. :) Thanks, again!!
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic tutorial, thanks so much! It looks like version 4 is out now ... any updates?
Great explanation, it save me a lot of time, congrats!
I noticed under the advanced menu, you had ‘galaxy-brained’, what’s in there I simply have to know haha.
The best tutorial out there
This is a wonderful video and you're very simpatico!
this video helped me out
am gonna take notes
D@MN - That was enlightening..... Thanks !!!!!!!
3.6 is obsolete. Latest version is 4.20 as of 13th Jan 2024. Might be worth re-doing this for this version.
I just replayed the opening 3 times......I'm still laughing....ok......I will watch the rest now.
Thank you!
At 4:44 the 5 turns into a 4 for a second
the patent or copyright on mp3 has expired so anyone can use it however the best would be wav or aiff since it preserves the frequencies however if the teacher's player only supports ogg then use ogg
they hit 4.2, where is your update video
Hi! you´re expert...congratulations. Now I´d like to solve a little problem with text box...that is.,..I´ll need to add to the score the declamation of music but at present time I can´t do this in colums (like in word) software. have you any tijps for that? have a nice day!
hilarious, great
Hi bro. I have a question, I hope you can help me.
In a sheet, you can set up: 1st row only Organ, bưt 2st row Organ + bass.
Thank you!
Is MuseScore 4.3.2 really free? Or does it have a lifespan and/or some things that it prevents you from doing? Thanks!
And then there was 4 !
is nice
You didn't mention import PDF...
Could be nice anticlimactic end note (haha)
hi
this is musescore3 not 4
I like CLICKING... hehe
I also use musecore for jazz composition. Like seriously.
don't listen to me
