<p>MuseScore is an Open Source (GNU GPL) music notation software that runs on all platforms supported by Qt5 (GNU/Linux,
MacOS X, Windows), and is available in over forty different languages. It features an easy to use WYSIWYG editor with
audio score playback for results that look and sound beautiful, rivaling commercial offerings like Finale and Sibelius.</p>
<p>Create, play back and print sheet music for free. Features include: - easy-to-use and customisable interface - albums
combining multiple scores - unlimited score length - unlimited number of staves per system - up to four independent
voices per staff - score creation wizard and templates - easy and fast note entry with a (PC) keyboard, the mouse, including
an on-screen virtual (piano) keyboard, or MIDI (step-time, real-time) - continuous view: focus on the content, scrolling
by as an endless ribbon, undistracted by line breaks or page breaks; switch to page view to polish up for printing
- automatic part extraction and transposition; advanced transposition: transpose a selected passage to any key, or
by any interval — or even transpose diatonically within the same key - repeats, including segnos, codas, measure repeats,
advanced repeats - dynamics, articulations and other expression markings - playback support for almost all notation
elements - custom text markings - style rules that apply to the whole score at once - lyrics - chord symbols - Jazz
notation, including lead sheets and slash notation - swing and shuffle playback - integrated sequencer and two software
synthesisers (FluidSynth for SF2/SF3, Zerberus for SFZ), which also can use third-party soundfonts - mixer for instrument
levels and effects - mixing and panning for individual parts - percussion notation - early music notation - cross-staff
beaming - import of graphics - custom key signatures - additive time signatures - user-defined score styles - and
much more…</p>
<p>Choir features: - powerful lyrics copy and paste tools - implode/explode: combine up to four voices on one staff,
then separate to individual staves - hide empty vocal staves, such as in a piano intro - figured bass for historical
notation - smart lyrics: unlimited verses, with notes and staves automatically spaced, and verse numbers automatically
aligned - voice leading checker: download the Check Harmony Rules proofreading plugin to check for errors in your
part writing, according to standard rules - part mixer: mute, solo, or change volume of staves to learn individual
lines — settings even apply to MP3 export</p>
<p>Piano features: - support for solo + piano (add small staff with different instrument) - support for cadenzas (smaller
notes and variable length measures) - complete notation: pedaling, fingering, cross-staff beaming — you name it; everything
needed to write piano sheet music is here</p>
<p>Guitar features: - bends, fingerings, and other common guitar notations supported - add/remove linked staves any
time; enter notes on either standard (pitched five-line) or TAB staff - percussion/drumset also included - templates
include guitar, tablature, guitar+tablature, rock/pop band - complete tablature: multiple tab styles available — from
note symbols outside the staff to upside-down strings — and linked standard/tab staff pairs - Guitar Pro import:
MuseScore can now open files from Guitar Pro, so you can easily migrate over. Import filters are improving with every
release; GP3, GP4, GP5, GP6, GTP, GPX are currently supported. - Fretboard diagrams: 21 default chords for every key,
and a powerful editor to create your own — with barre, fret position, and any number of strings - beyond guitar:
banjo, mandolin, ukulele, oud; custom string tunings; even historical lute tablature: MuseScore does them all.</p>
<p>Orchestral features: - templates for common instrumentations - custom linked parts (e.g. create choral score from
orchestra+chorus): any change you make to the content of any part is immediately reflected in the full score — and
vice versa - powerful style controls: edit the formatting of parts and score independently — or apply the same style
to all parts with one click - one-click transposition: instantly switch between transposed and concert pitch: sounding
pitches stay the same while the written notes change</p>
<p>Jazz features: - templates for Jazz Lead Sheet, Big Band and Jazz Combo - real “handwritten” Book-style jazz font
for text and chord symbols - formatting tools include adding line breaks every X measures - instantly switch between
transposed and concert pitch - intelligent chord symbol: chord names are automatically formatted when you finish typing — plus,
they transpose with the notes - easy slashes: commands to fill bars with slashes — and to turn notes into rhythmic
slashes, and even accent notation above the staff</p>
<p>Marching ensembles features (needs the MDL extension): - marching band, indoor percussion, front ensemble, drumline
and drum corps (even G bugles); no setup or configuration — select a template, start writing</p>
<p>Band features: - diverse templates: concert band, brass band, marching band, battery and pit percussion — ready
out-of-the-box (plus big band for jazz) - custom linked parts: you can even keep a drumline score linked to a full
marching band score and to individual percussion parts</p>
<p>Most elements in MuseScore are laid out automatically on a “virtual note sheet”, with a near professional-quality layout
engine, but can also be positioned manually, giving you total control of every score element’s position. The capabilities
of MuseScore can be extended via plugins and extensions, and the growing repository on musescore.org contains many plugins
submitted by users and an active development team.</p>
<p>MuseScore includes a set of sounds that reproduce common instruments (as defined by General MIDI) without taking up
a lot of disk space or memory providing full orchestral and band sounds (with the Drumline extension installed this includes
marching percussion). The general (non-Drumline) sound font is available as musescore-general-soundfont Debian package,
if you wish to reuse it with other synthesisers.) You can also load any sound font you prefer for a wider variety of sounds
or for more realism.</p>
<p>MuseScore can import and export MIDI and MusicXML files, and it can also import from Capella and several other programs.
MuseScore can export to PDF, PNG, and other graphic formats, to WAV and other audio formats such as OGG Vorbis and MP3,
or to GNU Lilypond for an alternative layout and print option.</p>
<p>MuseScore can upload scores to musescore.com, a score sharing site, and send scrolling sheet music videos to YouTube.
In addition to the desktop software, you can rehearse “on the go” with MuseScore mobile apps (which do not support note
entry, but many advanced playback functions). Note that all of these are commercial or otherwise non-free offers optionally
integrated with, but not part of, the Free notation program. Scrolling video scores feature the notes highlighted in the
score as they sound — and highlighted on a virtual piano keyboard below.</p>
