MuseScore Studio Reviews

it is easy to use but why cant you change time signatures in the middle of the score like the way in the new score wizard where the max is 99/63 but in mid score is 12/8 pls let us do this

For free software this is great. But every update comes with some decent features, and seems to take away key ones that can render your entire composition useless. The amount of times I’ve had to start a new composition from scratch after an update is worth probably a week of work. If the app is working for you do NOT update. EVER.

it is blocking my whole computer and breaking my apps, nothing works anymore.

It's still crashing immediately upon opening in 4.6.3. 4.6.1 did not have this problem, but other than that, I really have no clue. Great product when it works though!

I cannot use the application for more than 1 minute after the 4.6.2 update, I need to write parts asap and this is not an issue that can be easily fixed on my end. FIX PLEASE!!!!

the new version 4.6.2 keeps shutting down after a few minutes of opening program. Have not been able to keep it open, even after downloading update.

After I downloaded the new update, the soundfonts for the regular orchestral instruments disappeared. Idk if it's an issue on my end or musescore's?

I love you muscore <3

Everything is great except for the fact that accents do not work when put on a note.

I found out that MuseScore Studio 4.4 and 4.6 were installed separately, for some reason. I uninstalled both, then reinstalled the most recent version of MS4 and it stopped crashing :D

With voice-dependent dynamics added in 4.4, l.v. ties and advanced system markings control in 4.5, MuseScore was getting very close to a complete solution for engraving professional looking condensed orchestral scores without needing any tricky workarounds (like a tie to an invisible note to look like an l.v. tie). Now in 4.6, the ability to insert bar numbers below the system or as system markings has eliminated another nasty workaround that was necessary up till now (bar numbers below ALL staves, with all but the last being invisible, and then making them invisible again every time a staff stops being hidden). SMuFL support is another very welcome recent change, and sure, we had some hiccups, as can be expected with a major update, but the glitches were quickly patched, and 4.6.2 is amazing!

Upon downloading the update and trying to install, I get a message saying it cannot be opened because there is on access to Applications. I have yet to use the new MuseStudio version after having used Muse Score 3 for a long time. I do not appreciate the interruption to a formerly good workflow.

can't even open the app because of the new update

Mac OS, every launch results with crashing after the splash screen

I am not one to complain but this is infuriating. Musescore keeps crashing losing all my work each time I try save. I have been a long time user of Musescore. Please fix this bug ASAP.

playback pizz and arco screw up after updated version 4.6

This version hangs up a lot. Really slowed down my efforts. Some how it deleted a lot of my work. Still don't know how it happened frustrating

Since the pass of Notion , and the growing disinterest in using Cubase, I have found with MuseScore a software program that perfectly suits my needs. While there's always room for improvement, particularly regarding the notation for artificial harmonics, slow glissandos, etc., this software allows me to write down my compositions and convey to conductors and musicians what I expect from a performance on stage. Thank you to the MuseScore team!

For beginner, it's hard to navigate. Need to learn how to 'recognise' note and music symbol. But the software provide more music feature than any free music maker I tried. Great !!!

it sounds realistic unlike some softwares

Once I found MuseScore, I never looked back!

I have been using MuseScore for creative composition for five years now, and it has served its purpose. It goes well beyond the expectations of free software.

It’s the best
