#musescore

So far I'm liking the new #musescore update. Also just figured out how to use the Parts function to work with smaller groups of instruments (eg. if I’m writing a #sax soli or just want to focus on rhythm section parts). Starting work on a birthday project for my wife to arrange and record some Hall and Oates.

I've got audio working on MuseScore4 + Void Linux! A little summary of what I did (for myself and anyone else on #linux needing #MuseScore 4)

I first switched to #pipewire. For me, this involved uninstalling #pulseaudio and jack, then installing the packages `pipewire alsa-pipewire`. This differs on other distros. I needed to verify that pipewire was starting up properly. Since I didn't have a login manager, I had to set the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable manually and also create that directory everytime I booted. Using `tmp` instead of `run` worked better for me.

Then I followed these steps: docs.voidlinux.org/config/medi to get #alsa integration going. Restart, then that's it!

MuseScore now has audio 😭

Counterpart – second voice
Undead service for guitarists. I once notated a piece by J.S.Bach in tabs. Not because it's so beautiful, but because it's a great way to learn and practice counterpoint.
This is the second voice, and we all use it all the time. Harmony follows rules. The nice thing about rules is that you can and should break them. But to do that, you first have to know them.

@mirabilos Yes, I chose the right template (which I made myself, and which worked every time until now). It has a soprano/mezzo part and an alto part, and the alto part had the bass clef; when I changed that to a treble clef, the bass clef stayed in the second and further systems. (On the second try it worked.) Yes, the notes that turned out to be F natural were newly-entered notes. Also, I know how transposing works; I've been using #MuseScore 3 for choir music for years.

hey #MuseScore, (a) this is a template for women's voices so there's no call for a bass clef in the bottom staff, (b) when I replace that with a treble clef I want it on all lines, not just the first, (c) a key signature of one sharp should make any F into F sharp without prompting. #AmEditingMusic

@ohmu Anyway, re: computer/web tools, I found #Musescore quite helpful. It comes with a learning threshold of its own, but being able to input notes/rhythm and have the computer play it back to you is quite helpful for reinforcing those see/hear connections. Since it has a metronome and can slow down the tempo, its OK to play along with too, and there are lots of free Musescore files floating around online.

Downloaded MuseScore 4.5, so I thought I'd see what the drums and guitars are like (they've had a lot of work recently). I took my mashup of Pizzicato Rockalong and Perpetuum Mobile to see what it sounded like in #musescore.

Turns out I suck at drums, but I am better at bass than I thought I was.

#ScribesAndMakers 13. March: Shameless self-promotion day

Besides all my Open Source work (and the very occasional very tiny fanfiction attempt) I publish Free Sheet Music in digital editions, beautifully renderer as PDF, but also available as MusicXML and MIDI for conversion to Braille music notation as needed.

Voices from the choir et al.:

  • "finally, legible tenor notes!" (everyone with bass clef allergy)
  • "it’s easier on the eyes due to the larger size" (older ladies in choir)
  • easy to transpose (few clicks)
  • simple enough to make extra versions for the conductor and accompanist (closed score (two systems only, like for piano) with text below, so the pianist can follow the regie instructions)

https://mbsd.evolvis.org/music/free contains my Free Sheet Music contributions mostly from Public Domain scans (some more recent ones were made under permission from the composer/arranger); I also produced https://mbsd.evolvis.org/music/misc/ and dozens of pieces I cannot show because they are licenced works.

I do this for myself and share with the world, but I could imagine digitally engraving some sheet music for YOU for a small donation or something. (My speciality is vocal scores, but I can do piano accompaniment mostly, might need help with optimal distribution of notes to hands. Or just type in from a pre-existing score. I do need pitches, no aural transcriptions.)

Corruptio et idiocy – Ode an die Ignoranz – Sinfonie in Am – op. 666
Dieses Jahr ist meine Stadt, in der ich lebe und aufgewachsen bin, angeblich "Kulturhauptstadt Europas". Eine Aktion, die offensichtlich zur Demütigung der lokalen Kultur gedacht ist.

Weil mir das so Spaß macht und mit unserem Haus und "Undead Chemnitz" eine der wichtigsten Kultureinrichtungen der Stadt verschwinden wird. Habe ich mir überlegt, eine Sinfonie zu schreiben. Ich wollte sie "Corruptio et idiocy - Ode an die Ignoranz - Sinfonie in Am - op. 666" nennen und sie, auch wenn ich sowas normalerweise nie machen würde, meiner Stadt widmen.

Leider kann ich keine Noten, aber ich habe Unmengen Lieder in meinem Leben geschrieben, aus denen ich schöpfen kann. Dank Musescore, einem Open Source Notationsprogramm, kann ich aber Gitarrentabulatoren nutzen (das sind gewissermaßen die Noten für die Gitarre) und die kann ich richtig gut. Die kann ich vom Blatt spielen. Musescore ist ein wunderbares Beispiel wie Open-Source-Software funktionieren kann. Ein extrem dynamisches Projekt, das fast wöchentlich Updates bekommt. Die Herausforderung ist ja dort nicht so sehr das Programm an sich (da waren auf jeden Fall fähige Leute am Werke) sondern die vielen, vielen Sonder- und Unterbedingungen die 2000 Jahre Musiknotation so mit sich bringen. Jedes Instrument und viele Regionen haben eigene Regeln.

Das geht nur zusammen. Musescore hat eine aktive Community aus Komponisten, Musikerinnen, Arrangeuren und Softwareentwicklern. Ist also das Gegenteil von "Kulturhauptstadt Europas Chemnitz"

Watched an interesting Scoring Notes video on #musescore yesterday, where Martin Keary (tantacrul) was interviewed at NAMM 2025 about, amongst other things, what's coming up in MuseScore 4.5+. #orchidea integration looks fun and really interesting, if it ever happens!

Wollte privat mal in den #Notensatz reinschnuppern. Grafischer Editor oder #Lilypond? Bin dann erst etwas davor zurückgeschreckt, jetzt langwierig eine neue Syntax zu lernen, und habe #MuseScore installiert. Auf den ersten Blick sehr schick. Dann hatte ich aber doch die ganze Zeit das Handbuch mit den Tastaturshortcuts offen, und irgendwann hat das Programm unwiederbringlich einen Achteltakt verschluckt. Am Ende also doch lieber #Plaintext, #Frescobaldi installiert, happy.
