MuseScore Studio Reviews
The interface is pretty intuitive, and makes a lot of sense to me as someone who interacts with sheet music primarily. The sounds aren't fantastic, but they're honestly not horrible, and the ability to get sounds from other sources as well is convenient. I use this program for a lot of things, and highly recommend it.
This is a problem I've noticed ever since MS4 had launched. I've been using MS3 since its late development and MS4 since launch. The dynamic change in MS4 whithin tremolos doesn't work for MuseSounds. Which is very davastating when trying to build up momento and dynamics within one piece. This hadn't been a problem within MS3. And I presume that has something to do with how the Playback calculates sound output. Overall disappointing. This translates over into any Instrument of the free MuseSoundLibrary, the pack Ambience and VOXOS Choir.
Best notation software out there, and IT. IS. FREE. If only the publishing website for scores (musescore.com) wasn't money-hungry.
Excellent notation software. I have Logic Pro but I always find myself coming back to MuseScore for any composition/arrangement, especially as someone who is very good at reading music—I find that most professional software like Logic is midi based, but MuseScore is notation based which makes much more sense to me as someone who doesn't play piano.
It's a really good piece of software. Admittedly, it is a bit hard to learn at first, (like a lot of good software) but there are tutorials out there and once you learn how to use it, it becomes a very powerful tool for musical notation. The piano sound is adequate, but the strings and guitar are ridiculous. I don't even know what that "violin" is anymore. Thankfully, though, there are sound plugins you can download from the Musehub app (in my case, a Steinway piano and strings that sound like strings). Overall, a very nice app and I hope the team continues to update it over time.
I had to learn by my self how do use this, and some of the features are obscure, but otherwise its awesome
It's good. There are limited guitar features, but other than that, it's pretty great.
i love musecore studio because of how easy it is to use. and it’s free to install!
I’ve been with Musescore about three years now, and the quality and complexity of it is immaculate. I cannot recoomend this enough, and with the use of plugins, you can get FL Studio-level compositions going in no time, completely for free.
Since 4.6.5 I cant log into any other computers which I need to do, anytime I try I get taken to Musescore's website and it says im good to go then on return to the app I am not logged in
great recording.
I will MuseScore 4 has certainly helped me progress aimproves a composer overall. I really appreciate how hard the creative team works to improve this product. But I MUCH prefer the use of the hairpins in Muse 3 where "properties" gave me absolute control of diminuendos and crescendos. I struggle too much with in Muse 4, though the drop-down dynamics menus are great! Keep working Team! Thank you.
The epitome of enshittification. Has the potential to be so much more but instead we get ads, broken playback for PAID sounds, and buggy software.
Upon upgrading to 4.6.5 the playback function will no longer work. Everything was fine with 4.6.4 I tired to go back to the prior version 4.6.4 by uninstalling musehub and musescore studio, but the installation program just reinstalled 4.6.5 and I am now totally stuck.

Everything worked fine until update version. Now the program will not open and is giving me an error message that I don't have permission to open the program. Please help would like to continue to work with this great program.

I was just able to use Muse Sounds one version before by manually copying Muse MuseSamplerCoreLib.dll to system32 (which is ridiculous), but this update broke everything again, now even this hotfix doesn't work. The logs say it could not init the sampler from the AppData location. Please do not release untested software.
Partner Response: Hi there — please delete the sampler from System32, as it isn’t meant to be there. Then make sure you’re running the latest version of MuseHub; it’s best to download the most recent installer from the website to ensure everything is up to date. It may also be worth deleting %localappdata%\MuseSampler in case system permissions were affected. Restarting MuseHub will regenerate this folder. Thanks!
Since update, it doesnt let me open palletes, it crashes when doing so. I have tried everything, reverted to Factory settings but still no luck, it litterally makes no sense
Partner Response: Hi there, we saw several reports of crashes in MuseScore 4.6 that were caused by older versions of MuseScore 4 being present on the same Windows machine. This might affect you if you used earlier versions of MuseHub, which used to install MuseScore to a different location. If so, please make sure the old versions are fully removed before you upgrade to the new version. If you do want to use multiple versions of MuseScore 4 on Windows, consider using the portable EXE for past versions, and use MuseHub or the standard MSI installer for the current stable release.
Despite owning Finale 27.4, Dorico Pro, MuseScore 4.6.4 remains my preferred notation software. As I become more proficient with it, its capabilities continue to improve. Notably, the Spitfire plug-ins (Instruments) enhances its functionality, enabling seamless export to MP3 format. Currently, I utilize a MacBook Pro equipped with 16 gigabytes of RAM and a Mac Mini with the same RAM capacity. Both devices operate flawlessly without any encountered issues. I commend the MuseScore team for their exceptional work.

Not sure when everything went wrong, but my old Muse Guitars pack that I used in every score is now gone + trying to input notes for percussion is hell + I overall hate everything. Stick to older versions

It worked for the first four minutes and then the audio crashed or something, because now when I hit play, the line just stands still and no audio comes out. I barely have one gigabyte left, and idk what to do. But other than that, I think its pretty nice. I've wanted this for years, but now, I'm not that sure that it was really worth the wait. It's kind of a disappointment by now. D:)

Clearly the best notation and music app and for free! Easy to handle and work with! It has a variety of choices for everything!
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.
