The free Muse Drumline plays a marching battery in MuseScore Studio from the notation alone, with snares, tenors, tuned bass drums and cymbals recorded by The Blue Devils. Add MuseSounds for the winds, brass and front ensemble, and you can write a whole show and hear it before the first rehearsal.
Cantai is a MuseSounds library that sings the lyrics you write under the notes in MuseScore Studio. It is made by Turing Opera Workshop, and you can get it on its own or with a MuseSounds Pro subscription.
You can make video game music in MuseScore Studio by writing each cue as a score and exporting it as audio. MuseSounds play that score with recorded orchestral instruments, and the WAV files you export become the loops, stingers and layers the game plays.
