MuseScore, the world’s most popular free and open source composition software has been completely overhauled. Introducing MuseScore 4.
“MuseScore 4 is much easier to use and is far more powerful and capable than previous versions. It also has new engraving standards and playback that easily competes with the best any paid application has to offer” explains Martin Keary, Product Owner of MuseScore 4.
The passion of the MuseScore team rings loud and clear in every individual major development to MuseScore 4’s interface, playback, engraving quality, capability and accessibility. This new release makes MuseScore 4 the most powerful and easy-to-use notation software available.
Who is MuseScore 4 for?
We don't believe in barriers to creativity. MuseScore 4 will always remain free, so it’s the perfect app for composers starting out, music educators, or anyone who wants to experiment with notation.
Although MuseScore 4 is designed to be intuitive and accessible to all, it has all the dynamic and versatile features you would expect from professional engraving software. So even the most-dedicated composers can make their ideas a reality in MuseScore 4.
