Thank you for watching my tutorial on how to increase or decrease the size of measures in MuseScore 3. Please let me know if you have any questions :)
Wondering if you happen to have a series that is strictly about 'playback' -how to open a file, adjust page size, use the metronome, mixer etc - basics for beginning students who are just watching and listening.
I'm trying to get the page to fit my tablet. The windows stretch too far down and i can't hit or even see buttons like "apply" etc. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a fix for this. I know i managed it a couple years back when i had this same issue but I cannot figure it out now nor find the answer anymore with my new laptop. it's so frustrating.
To press some bracket I need to hold Shift, then for me Shift + (Shift + my Key with Bracket) is impossible.
¿How to do the same effect using Menus?
Hi, Do you know how to do this in MuseScore 4? The commands "expanding (highlight select, then shift + ] )" and "shrinking (highlight select, then shift + [ )" dosen't work.
1:26, 1:52 line break (system break)
2:01 undo (ctrl+z)
2:14 expanding (highlight select, then shift + ] )
2:58 shrinking (highlight select, then shift + [ )
4:02 height of staff (staff spacer)
4:33 size of individual notes (format>page settings>scaling)
6:46 setting last measure of a page (page break)
Thank you!
the program desperatelly needs option to manually adjust width of every individual measure - but literal click&drag...as well as move a measure to previous system with single button...these are only things which musescore sucks at (while for example finale has it)
Thank you SO much for these tutorials! I'm making theory tests for my state music teacher's association, and have been running into issues while trying to use other software... such as not being able to "hide" time signatures and such, when I want the students to fill those elements in as an answer to a question. I wanted to be able to make the staff larger, too. This helps the younger children, who normally draw notes rather large, to position their note heads on the correct line or space. I appreciate these... again, thank you!
This is gold! Thanks for getting right to the point and speaking clearly with no mumbling, ahs and uhs!
Honestly, one of the best tutorial videos I ever watch. Thanks!
Just what I needed, more people should watch this. I am currently working on a Chopin Style Composition and this really helps. Thanks a centillion!
Hi Kyle, thanks for the tutorial. You can also use ENTER for a measure break and CTRL ENTER for a page break. Maybe you could put that in your video?
Hello Kyle, I’m learning a lot by watching your videos. I have one quick question. Can I use this method of shirking the notes for cue notes? Thank you!
Thank you creating the MuseScore 4 Tutorials. I just signed up for your course and look forward to learning MuseScore 4. Thanks again
Thank you, I love your "WELCOME" at the beginning of each video...your RULE !!!
Hey, is there any way to make "one staff per page"? What I'm trying to do is make a TH-cam video that the music goes along with what my chart and I'm just not sure how we do that. I see it all the time on other guys tutorials.
thank you so much,
Steve
Thanks for your videos. How do I move a bar up? To move a bar down to the next staff, I highlight the bar line and press Enter anf the bar moves to the next staff, but what about moving a bar to the upper staff? Is there a simple way? Thanks!
Thank you for this video. Lots of information. A friend showed me how to place the cursor on a bar & hit return which also dropped the next measures to the next line. What I need to know is how do decrease the space between the lines so I can fit 2 tunes (32 bars each with repeats) on a page. Thanks for any input you might have.
Thank you. I would like to know how to change the length of a series of notes to half, for example. Is the possible?
Very useful information . . Thanks very much.
How can I edit beams? Particularly, I need to change to two pairs of eighth notes to be beamed, rather than all four beamed together.
Thanks. congratulations! But i need resize only a group of notes. Do you know about it? I don't want to reduce the entire score, just a group of notes.
You saved my life on Musescore. Those were my doubts. Tkank you so much.
I am trying to find out how to make my staffs or staves larger. For example: I want to use Musecore to just print some blank sheets of music and choose different sizes for the staves. Could you direct me to this programming information. Thanks
so helpful, thanks a lot!
I just simply want to move ONE bar line over to make that measure less huge. Is that impossible in MuseScore?
Tq, but I think it should be "command+delete" instead of "control+delete", right?
Please, get used to not only naming the shortcut commands. Keyboards vary from OS to OS and country to country. Mine does not have brackets for instance.
Excellent presentation. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
HI, thanks for the great tips,
I think I'm doing something wrong on this one. when I drag the spacer down the mouse just drag the whole page instead of just pulling the spacer. please help.
Thank you, excellent presentation, clear and concise.
Great video, very helpful thanks!
Hi Kyle,
Thanks for the video. A small criticism: to stretch a bar or bars, you say to use shift+'['. That is true for some keyboard layouts but by no means for all. It wouldn't work on a Canadian multi-lingual keyboard nor on keyboards such as German, Spanish, Latin American, Belgian and many more. MuseScore itself wants to see '{', however it is keyed on the keyboard. It would be more helpful to say "key '{', which is shift+'[' on a US keyboard but may be different on yours".
I still don't know which key to press on a German keyboard…
Okay so for anyone searching for an answer: On a german mac keyboard it's control + option + 8 or 9.
How the hell do i do this on swedish 60% keyboard?!?!?!
It doesn't work with the shift and bracket. It makes completely other things
Hey! Is it possible to join two lines in one? Like when you have two parts of flute but in the score for a conductor you need them to be in one line.
Is it possible only by voice addind? It seems to be not so comfortable.
Only one question.... If I have 4 beats in a measure and I place 8 8th notes, than later I need to change one of the middle notes to a quarter note, how can I have the program slide everything to the right? Instead of deleting a note?
How do you do cues? Especially if you want regular size notes and cues in the same measure.
If I only write a song in the G cleff, how do I alight the first bar with the second line's bar? It is uneven.
I keep having problems when i delete notes, it literally changes every other measure notes that are other instruments and it will shrink the measures so i can only place two quarter notes in them instead of four
hi , how do you expand or shrink measure in musescore 4?
I have several measures that are taking up the whole page. The rest are appropriate size. How can I shrink those measures to fit with the rest. For example I set page breaks at 4 measures but some measures take the whole page
I have a large space before the first note in the first measure. How do I get rid of this space?
Thanks for the great video
Nice tutorial. Do you know how to get empty measures in MuseScore? By empty measures I mean no rest if there are no notes.
Deleting a rest on MuseScore (attempting to leave an empty measure) deletes the entire measure. If you want to delete this rest anyways do Command + Delete if you're on a Mac. Or, I think Control + Delete if you're on a Windows 10.
for me it was Layout and the the arrow icon >< that did the trick
Shrink measures does not work in my score, can you help me please ?
Dude please answare me to this, how do i change the order of the last measure if they are already set, how do i delete every preset and add my own, please answare
Very helpful, my man. Thank you.
Thank you so much! This video helps me a lot!
Is it possible to change the percentage size of one staff line on the same page?
Thank you. Very helpful.
Thank you for the video !
Can i make all measures equal long?
IDK why the shrinking and enlarging measures don't work with me. please help
I am sorry it is not working, were you able to fix the problem?
0:58 I seriously wish I could give you ten likes for this video. I can't believe I've been doing this the slowest way possible when the efficient way was right in front of me. Thank you. Thanks a million.
What I was trying to do in the past was go through EVERY single measure and change the size. It took a long time and I thought "there has got to be a better way to do this."
I really had no idea what the breaks and spaces were.
I wanted to stretch my measures to 4 on a line.I was following along but nothing happened when I dragged the icon to the measure. Now I can't try again because that icon has disappeared from Breaks and Spacers. Help please.
Hello! Thank you for your extremely helpful video! A lot of cool life hacks! Do you know if it is possible to make some corrections separately in a full score and in parts? For instance, I need to put fingers or a bow directions in a part, but I don't need it in a full score. And vice verse I need to put some marks in the full score for conductor but we don't need it in parts. Is it possible in musescore?
Thank you so so much🙏🏻
Point number 5 helped me a lot. Keep doing the good work
Yay!! I am glad this walk through was useful for you!
Thank you so much for your clear, and very well eplained tips on Musescore. These are very much appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you so much, because the sheet music i was making had this thing, and i probably clicked it on accident, without knowing what to do. Nice video!
Thank you so so much. I sreached on internet about this but I couldn't find any things. Your video helped me a lot.
Thank you very much bro
Your channel is pure gold
keep up the good work👍🏻
Thaank you a lot!
How to change font size, font style after I typing the lyrics, the musescore3 have 10 pt size and edwin font style default.
My solution is to click on a lyric, then 'right click' and select > all similar elements. After that press F8 (which brings up the Inspector Pallette) and choose your font and size etc.
Thank you. I have trouble adding alto voice. it keeps changing every note when I try to add an alto voice. Can you please demonstrate adding the alto voice using different note values to the soprano voice. Colette
@@colettedennehy6086 I don't know the answer, probably you should pose this question to the root of the forum ...that way more people besides me will see your question. But .... possibly when you want to add the second voice, try choosing 2,3, or 4 (they're at the top of the screen) when you're adding another 'voice' ???
Thanks! a lot
Thanks you, it's very useful.
I am glad you found my MuseScore walkthrough helpful :)
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. You explained it clearly. It helped me a lot to do my notation assignment.
lifesaver
Thank you!!!
this help me a lot !
:)
Thank you, I am starting to use musescore and your videos are v clear and to the point!
Really appreciate you making these tutorials!
THANKS!!!!!
You are welcome Tara!
Thank you! I was struggling to get the measures the same length!
An easier way to make a system break is to click on the barline where you want the break to be and press enter.
Thanks!!!
You are welcome!
Thank you very helpful! 🙏🙏🙏
How do I shift notes within a measure to expand the spaces between them?
Hi. How to add the finger number under note for piano? Tk
Fantastic. When I have notes joined with a tie, I want them to be on the same line.
Excellent presentation.
Thank youuu!!
It's very helpful, although I was also looking for ways to like standardize measures so they are all the same size. Especially when I want to insert whole note chords in one measure. Wouldn't it make sense if the measures were standardized like that? PS, also your key signature A is the same as mine, but I'm composing something in B Dorian mode.
