MuseScore Studio
MuseScore Studio is free, open-source desktop software for composing, playing back, and printing sheet music. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with a free download that requires no account or subscription. Scores can have unlimited length and unlimited staves per system, with up to four independent voices per staff. The software imports and exports MIDI and MusicXML, imports Capella and other formats, and exports scores as PDF, PNG and other graphics formats, WAV and other audio formats, and LilyPond. Playback tools include a mixer, SoundFonts, MuseSounds, swing playback, and VST/VSTi support. MuseSounds are installed through Muse Hub on Windows and macOS, then assigned to instruments through playback profiles or the mixer. Users can publish scores to MuseScore.com and share playback audio through Audio.com. MuseScore Studio includes a Braille keyboard. Its audience includes schools, conservatories, choirs, and orchestras; desktop support is provided on MuseScore.org by an open-source project supported by volunteers and Muse Group employees.
