I can't say this enough: musescore went from a "neat little music app" to "this is the best notation software around, and it's free". Thank you SO MUCH for making it so amazing
Percussion player here, and this is hugely exciting indeed! I absolutely cannot wait to see what's coming, given how dreadful the experience of percussion writing is in Sibelius :>
Watching Musescore blossom from a hobbyist notation application to basically a professional composition software is insane. Thank you to the developers!
Yeah, I recently changed from from Finale to MuseScore and boy has it improved my workflow 😂. Now I’m confident to say it’s a really potent software. And the fact that they’re always adding new features makes so happy 😊😁
Man, Musescore just keeps releasing better and better updates. I can’t explain enough how much having accessible and intuitive music software has done for me musically
I've been using Musescore since Musescore 3 back when I was going to college from 2016 to 2020 and am so proud to see this program grow to become such a powerhouse of music notation software. And the best part is it's absolutely free. I literally have a license for Finale that I had to buy for college, and I stopped using it for Musescore about 7 years ago and haven't looked back. During college, I was supposed to be using Finale but I did all my assignments using Musescore, and my instructors were none the wiser 🤪. Big ups to the Musescore Studio devs! I'm 100% excited about what's next. Keep up the great work!
Yesterday I was using an orchestral VST that allows me to play instruments with different techniques. And today you post this. I almost felt like you're trolling me, well done.
THANK YOU FOR CHANGING THE NAME to distinguish it from the Musescore sheetmusic collection! It has been so confusing for newcomers for so long, that people thought they needed to pay to subscribe to the collection in order to use the application...
dude 100% this is a game changer I've wanted the secco for cymbals for so long and y'all did not come to play y'all came to WIN. Can't wait for all the new stuff in the future! Keep being awesome :)
The name change makes a lot of sense. I have been extremely confused by the different meanings of musescore between the desktop app and the sheet music. Never completely figured it out to be honest.
I m going to release my album fully made with musecore on a lot of platforms of streaming and I am happy with the result, now it is even better for my next one
Yes! Though I think the easiest way to do that would be MIDI integration with Hauptwerk, GrandOrgue, or jOrgan. That way you could choose from all sorts of freely available or premium organ sets. On the other hand having some selections of sounds beyond a principal chorus from 16’ to scharf would be wonderful for composition. I would propose a grand organ sound, a softer flute chorus, something at 8’ good for accompaniment, and a solo stop. Mellow composing with choral parts sounds so weird with the general midi sound
Another great update! As a percussionist, I'm super excited for the next big update! Lots of cool stuff this update though. I know I'll be using the hard vs soft mallet feature a lot in my writing. Amazing, as always! Keep up the great work!
This is unbelievably good!!! Thank you so much for developing such a cool software! Without MuseScore I would never have gotten the chance to write orchestral pieces, and the new options with the stave texts are going to bring my music compositions to another level. You are the best :)
This is absolutely amazing - Musescore was already top tier and it just keeps getting better. I have one BIG issue though. With the instrument packs (non native Instruments or whatever they are called, can't remember😅) the volume is completely off, and doesn't really represent the notatet dynamics. I have had to put ff on a saxofonen to even hear it in the midst of a band (the instruments herein) playing at mp. Other than that, it is perfect I must admit🙌🙌🥳
This latest version is amazing !! New features for playback are just fantastic. Just waiting for guitar sounds to be included. And improvement in guitar TAB notation... a Christmas gift ahead of schedule 🤩 Thanks guys for your hard work.
If it's for percussion, wait until they drop the entirely new percussion set they have been working on behind the scenes for years now. It's almost done.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MUSE SOUNDS UPDATE FOR SO LONG THANK YOU SO MUCH (ps. I'm a percussionist so 4.4 will be a gamechanger for sure as well!) If you need any help with percussion for Muse Sounds or whatever I'm free if you want some help as I do miss some percussion instruments from the built-in instrument tab (ocean drum for example)
I am nervous about the new drums because I have gotten the hang of the ones that are in there now and I really like the playback I am getting from them. There used to be the most beautiful synth sound (like Van Halen's 1984) that I used, and then an update turned it into a melting pieces of goo sound that whined as it went. Some updates really destroy the good that came before them.
Give me a timeline grid and I'm yours forever! But amazing work. As someone who is going from Ableton to musescore it's taking me a bit to learn the program but I love that you guys are constantly improving!
Not gonna lie, watching the original MuseScore 4 announcement video is the first time in my life a software update has made me genuinely freak out with excitement. I was texting friends in all caps about the vst support and all the fixes you made there that I’ve wished for for years(been using it since MuseScore 2). Very excited for MuseScore Studio 5 and to see where you all will go with this incredible program and community.
I love watching these videos knowing well I barely know how to use this application. The new samples sound really nice though, especially knowing that they are free.
Great work. I've been a Sib user for about three decades - it was the only game in town, but I've recently been disappointed by how sclerotic it's become and the Kafkaesque process of migrating it to a new PC. Death by Avid, I presume. So I've bitten the bullet and MS is going fine. I will miss Note Performer though - for me, it rendered the native Sib playback redundant overnight. I would hope there are plans in the pipeline. Arne is a really approachable chap and I'm sure he'd be amenable to solving the issues of "hooking in" a paid addition to an open source program. It is of course basically a read-ahead MIDI output interpreter that "books a room" in the host program hotel and I don't think other developers had to lose much sleep to add compatibility. Basic "to picture" integration would be very desirable too, if you can sort out the codec licensing tangle. I personally only use it occasionally, but in these times when everyone dreams of being Williams or Zimmer it's probably an essential for most. But I don't think MS needs to be a total codec polyglot (at least at first) - these days converting video formats is trivial. I'd suggest you pick a decent free to use format and go with that. On the subject of which, I remember not that long ago converting cues to pixellated monochrome postage stamp video so I could work to them without grinding the computer to a halt...
this is legendary! if you could, please expand your percussion library to stuff such as surdos, paper djuns, bombos, etc. because that would really help us write a more intense percussion section
I hope they add different trumpet sounds to musescore, it would really help me when I transcribe my marching band music, so I can listen to just my part.
Wow, this is very good! Musescore is almost the best notation software out there, and it’s free! Still has a few limitations, but I’m sure with the new updates to come, it’ll rise to the level of Dorico ^^
Can't see any news about your new design and logo, at least at my mobile Google Play version! By the way, your app is improving so much during this and last year, I remember I hated it so much in 2020-2022, it was so laggy and messy, but now, wow!
Idea to implement in the future: transpose. While it is already possible to transpose sheet music, i don't know of a way to do the same with chord names and key signature automatically. I mainly use musescore to write sheet music to play in bands, and often have to change the tonality last minute, so this would be really useful! p.s. I know that you are currently focusing on the composing aspect of the software, and it's amazing what it is becoming.
To call myself a musician would be quite a stretch :} but this program is very good at showing what the dots sound like in a score,it is something i have always found fascinating ,its like any new language a bit of a learning curve, i do dabble in the alchemy of MIDI , i find it a useful tool to display the notes in a MIDI file , i like this program a lot :}
Wow.... I'm a Dorico user and I work super fast in it, but there's a lot here that is tempting me to switch over (not even considering money). The MuseSounds are incredible and so expressive. And overall the UI just seems more intuitive. Love the way you can audition different techniques. Sold me at harp having P.D.L.T. and percussion having options like different mallets or snares on/off. I can do this in Dorico as well but it requires A LOT of tedious background VST wonkery to set it up right... it's weird how little extended techniques are natively supported by it. I think for me the primary edge that Dorico has is more abilities to access everything via keyboard... I'm not huge into mousing around into various palettes when I could do it all from my keyboard which lets me stay focused move quick with precision. Hoping to see more improvements there. At any rate while I support Steinberg in their efforts it does feel like the MuseScore team is really proactive about listening to what composers want/need, whereas Dorico can feel at times a little engraver and engineer-centric.

Wow! So thrilled that MuseScore Studio has released! I really like how there are new features, and liked how I can use the Stave Text via Muse Sounds!
as a musescore enjoyer, i am actively screaming for joy right now. i am fanboying a little too hard over notation software
You're growing by leaps and bounds. What a team!
You guys are legends, and I am SO hyped for the upcoming drum update!!!
I look forward to the day you add organ registration options
And accordion
Yes! Though I think the easiest way to do that would be MIDI integration with Hauptwerk, GrandOrgue, or jOrgan. That way you could choose from all sorts of freely available or premium organ sets.
