It is still a little buggy and quits unexpectedly at times, but you can restart it in a blink and it recovers right where you left off. It is a work in progress by a great number of people. The program is open source, so it is never completed. The forums are also good for troubleshooting and tips.

Some are full orchestrations with violins, horns, woodwinds, and drums.

Music students, professional composers, and songwriters have posted their compositions on the forums so others can download and listen to them. I wanted to see what other composers had done with this program so I visited the forums on. It was like having a roomful of musicians that I could command with the flick of a finger. I experimented with the tempo, changing it from "Allegretto" to "con Brio" to "Largo" and other speeds.

I was amazed because I was doing things I had never even been taught how to do. The synthesized voice sounds like "Ahhh" or "Ohhh" and though it can't sing words (even when I added lyrics under the melody line) it proved helpful for adding harmonies and counterpoint. Most of the insturments sound fairly acurate. This instant feedback makes it very easy to know immediately if you have the right note or not.Īs I became more comfortable with the program I started experimenting with more of the features. You can also play the tune from the beginning or just listen to a part of it. MuseScore allows you to listen to the notes as you edit.
If I wanted a note or a string of notes sung one octave higher, all I had to do was highlight the notes and press the up arrow while holding down the control key. If I wanted to repeat a passage, I could copy and repeat. Whenever I wanted to move a note up or down a step, I could do so just by highlighting it and pressing the up or down keys. I think it may have gone faster if I had a midi keyboard. It took only a couple hours for me to get the whole melody written, using the keyboard on my laptop. I spent an hour reading over the handbook and watching the how-to-videos at and started working on a song I had written in my head but had never put into notation. However to my amazement it was a very sophisticated, full-featured program that was also extremely easy to use. I downloaded the program expecting something akin to a phone app that makes little ringtones. It was called MuseScore and it was free! And I'm not talking just for 30 days-but really and truly free!
#MUSESCORE KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS SOFTWARE#
I was looking for some Christmas music last month when I stumbled upon a new program from Source Forge, an open source software platform. Unfortunately, it was written for music experts not beginners. I bought a midi keyboard and some software. All of my books were filled with tunes that had wonderful name like "Waggle Taggle Gypsies-O" and and "Twa Corbies."Įventually I was able to find many of the songs on the Internet but not all. I would flip through my songbooks of madrigals, ballads, and bawdy songs wishing that I could sing these tunes that looked so intriguing. So I confined myself to learning songs from albums and other bards. I had to hear the song before I could learn to sing the tune. Learning new songs from notation was always frustrating if not impossible. I can slowly hunt and peck on a piano, and play a few chords on the guitar.
