Introduction
Welcome to MuseScore!

MuseScore lets you create, save, and share your


music compositions with your teachers and
friends. This tutorial will teach you the basics of
how to set up your score, input and edit your
music, then save and export your file. Once you
have mastered the basics, you can use the
programme’s help menu for more advanced
functions. Below you will find some supplementary
information to get you started. ākonga

Nb. If you are accessing this tutorial with a screen


reader, you may hear some funny symbols being
read aloud. This is because some additional
symbols have been inserted to assist print
readers.

MuseScore 3

Accessibility tricks
1.Shortcut keys: If you usually access most
programmes with a mouse or touch pad, your
first instinct will be to reach for the mouse in
MuseScore too. But, you may find yourself
chasing little symbols around the screen which
can be really frustrating. The quickest way to
access almost all functions is via shortcut
keys. Trust me … they will become your best
friends! This tutorial will focus on learning and
using shortcut keys but you will need to
experiment to find what works best for you. It
may be a combination of shortcut keys and
mouse, or screen reader. The good news is
that MuseScore uses the same shortcuts as

5
other apps and programmes (e.g. word) so
you will already know many of the shortcut
keys.
2.Keyboard: A full keyboard which includes a
numpad is recommended. This makes
inputting music much faster because your right
hand can change note value on the numpad,
while your left hand can change pitch name
using the A B C D E F G keys. You can
purchase an external Numpad if your
computer does not have one.
3.Tab key and spacebar. MuseScore provides
lots of options to change details in its menus.
Once inside a menu, there can be multiple
little boxes to navigate through. Instead of
searching with your mouse, make the most of
the tab key and simply press tab to move
through options and find the one you want. If
you tab too far you can go backwards using
shift + tab Once you have found it there may
6
be a check box which can simply be checked
or unchecked with the spacebar. Alternatively,
you may find a spin box with set options (e.g.
numbers or colours). Use your up  and down
arrow keys to circle through the options.
4.Screen Readers: Print music contains a lot of
small signs and symbols which can be difficult
to see. Consider using a screen reader to
assist you and give your eyes a break,
especially if they are getting tired. MuseScore
comes with support for Windows Narrator and
NVDA which is a free screen reader for
Windows. The current version of MuseScore is
not yet supported by VoiceOver for Mac
computers, however this will be resolved in the
upcoming release of MuseScore Version 4.
5.Mac users: this tutorial has been written for
Windows users with NVDA screen reader.
Replace CRTL key with your Command key
and Option instead of Alt.
7
Formats
MuseScore supports a range of different file types
which are indicated by the extension at the end of
the file name. Here is a brief explanation of some
of the main types you will use.

*.mscz and *.mscx are formats specific to


MuseScore. Your projects will be saved in one of
these formats so that you can open them and
continue working on them in MuseScore. Files with
*.mscz or *.mscx extension can only be opened in
MuseScore.

pdf. Use this file type to save your score as a


document that can be shared and opened by
people who do not have MuseScore.

xml. Use this file type to export your file to other


music applications. For example, an xml file can
be opened in Sibelius or BME (a braille music
application)

8
mp3. This is an audio file type. Use this file if you
want to share the audio version of your score.

midi. This file type contains musical


information/data that can be exported and used in
other music applications like Digital Audio
Workstations (e.g. LogicPro and Reaper).

9
Initial Setup
When MuseScore starts, the first thing you
normally see is the Start Centre window. This
shows a list of recent scores and links to the online
community. You may find it easier to simply
access your files from the file menu. Press esc to
close the start centre.

Note. If you want to stop the start centre from


appearing every time you open MuseScore, open
the edit menu Alt + E, then press P for
preferences. This opens a series of windows, the
first of which is general settings. Tab through the
options to find Show Start Centre, then click
spacebar to uncheck the box.

10
Lesson 1: Exploring the Screen
In this lesson we will be exploring what MuseScore
can do and learning how to open and set up a new
score.

MuseScore has a main document window where


you will create your music. However, multiple
document tabs can also be opened within this
window. The first two activities are designed to
introduce you to the main screen and the features
you can access from this screen.

Activity 1: Video
Watch a short video to learn about some of the
options on the main screen. Please note, the video
was created for MuseScore Version 2 so some
features may look a little different. Follow the link
below and select Lesson 2: Working with
MuseScore.

https://musescore.org/en/tutorials

11
Alternatively you can press CTRL + F on the
webpage and type lesson 2. Press esc and then
focus will be on lesson 2.

Activity 2: Explore
Now it’s your turn to explore the features using
shortcut keys and navigation tricks.

1.Press the Alt key to toggle onto the menu bar


at the top of the screen. NB if you don't get to
the tool bar when you press the alt key, you
will need to hold Alt while pressing the menu
letter you need e.g. F for File menu.
2.Use right and left arrows to move through
different menus, and up  and down  arrows
to move through the list of options within each
menu. You will find shortcut keys listed to the
right of each option or the shortcut letter will be
underlined.
3.A small triangle  beside an option indicates
that it contains further options inside a

12
submenu (Narrator says “menu item”). Right
arrow to enter the submenu and then down
arrow  to explore the list of options. Left
arrow  to return to the main menu or simply
press esc.

Alternatively, you can access the menus with the


following shortcuts:

File: Alt + F
Edit: Alt + E
View: Alt + V
Add: Alt + A
Format: Alt + O
Tools: Alt + T
Plugins: Alt + P
Help: Alt + H
If you are using a screen reader, simply follow the
directions above and NVDA will read each element
on the screen.

13
Activity 3: Setting up a new score
1. Open a blank score: Press Ctrl + N to open a
new score. This will take you through a series
of windows to set up your score. Window one
begins with Title. Type in the title of the music
and then tab each time to enter Subtitle,
Composer, Lyricist, and Copyright. You don’t
have to fill in all fields. Press Enter or Alt + N
(for next) to get to the next window. Note. Alt +
B (for back) will take you to the previous
window at any stage.
2. Add instruments: This window is where you
will choose the instruments you want to
include on the score. There are several ways
to add instruments, including adding more if
you need to later on. Below are two different
ways to try. Have a go at the first option and
then Alt + B to go back and try the second
option.

14
Option 1: Select a pre-set score that already
contains the instruments you want. Simply arrow
down  past the “choose instruments option” to
select from a range of scores like Jazz Band or
SATB. When you find the one you want, press
Enter. It will automatically be added to the score
and you will be taken to the next window.

Option 2: Select the “choose instruments” option


and press Enter. This will take you to a new
window with a large list of instruments divided into
families. The first feature on the list is a search
option. If you know the instrument you want, type it
in here and then arrow down  through the list to
find it. Tab until you hear “Add instrument enter”
dialogue and press Enter to add it to your score”
add instrument” tab. If you wish to go to the next
set-up window, press Alt + N rather than enter,
because enter will keep adding more instruments
to your score. If you wish to add more instruments,
press Shift + Tab to return to the search option
15
and repeat the process. Alternatively, you can
simply arrow down  from the initial search option
to open up each family list of instruments. Be
warned though, the lists are huge!

3.Key Signature: the next window opens to a


default key signature of no sharps or flats.
Arrow left or right to select a key signature and
then press Enter or Alt + N to move to the
final element of your score set-up.
Alternatively, you can simply click on the key
signature with your mouse.
4.Time signature: this window opens with a
default time signature of 4/4. If you wish to
change this, Tab to enter the upper number.
You can type the number you want or arrow
up and down to select from a list. Tab to move
to the lower number and repeat the process.
You can also create an upbeat, select the
number of bars, and tempo on this screen.
Tab to each element and follow the process
16
above for selecting time signature. Press
Enter or Alt + F to close the score setup and
begin inputting notes. You could also Tab to
finish if you prefer.

Lesson 2: Inputting Music


In this lesson we will be learning how to input
music, some simple editing tricks, basic playback
options, and how to save and/or export your work.

If you have created and saved your own score


“style” with your personal preferences, open this
for the following exercises. If not, see “A guide to
individual preferences in MuseScore” to set one
up. This can be accessed on the hub at
https://blennz.sharepoint.com/sites/BLENNZMusic/
SitePages/Music-and-Low-Vision.aspx

To quickly change the size of the score press


Alt + O to open the format menu. Arrow Down
 to page settings and Enter. Press the Tab
key to find the ‘scaling’ option and the use the
17
spin box (arrow up) to increase the size of the
score.

To access your saved style, open a new file, and


then open the format menu (Alt + O). Arrow down
 to “load style” and press enter. This will open a
list of your saved styles. Select the one you want
and press enter. The new score will immediately
update to your preferences.

Remember, this tutorial will focus on shortcut keys


but you can also simply click your mouse on many
options. Use the option that best suits you.

18
Activity 1: Inputting music
The following activities will explore five different
ways to input music: mouse input, step-time,
virtual keyboard, midi keyboard, and importing
from another source. Have a go at all five (if
possible) and see which option you prefer.

Input Option 1: Mouse


Using your mouse is the most obvious method, but
also the slowest. It’s great if you are only inputting
(or editing) one or two notes, but you will probably
find yourself combining your mouse with other
options.

1.Open and set-up a new score


2.Click the note input sign (this looks like a
music note turned into a letter N near the top
left of the screen). The symbol will turn a blue
colour which indicates it is “live” and a blue
highlight will appear on the first item in the

19
score. Alternatively you can simply press the
letter N to turn note input on.
3.Click on the note value you would like from the
row of notes beside the Note-input sign e.g.
crotchet.
4.Move your mouse to the score. You will see a
blue note moving around the music staff. Once
you have it in position, simply click the mouse
and it will be added to the score.

Input Option 2: Step-time


With step-time input, you add notes in a two-step
process. First you select the note value, then you
select the note name (pitch). You will need
Numlock on for this option.

1.Press N for note entry


2.Press a number between 0 and 7 to select the
note value (see list below). A good suggestion
is to lock into your memory that 5 is a crotchet.
As the numbers go higher, the notes get

20
bigger and as the numbers go lower, the notes
get smaller.
3.Press a letter between A and G and it will
instantly be added to the score.
 This option is fastest with a full sized
QWERTY keyboard because you can quickly
select the note value with your right hand on
the num-pad, and then the note name with
your left hand. It also works really well in
combination with the mouse, just remember, if
the mouse is blue, it’s “live” and will add notes
to score wherever it lands!

21
Keyboard Shortcuts for note values
0 Rest
1 Hemi-demi-semi-quaver (4 tails)
2 Demi-semi-quaver (3 tails)
3 Semi-quaver (2 tails)
4 Quaver
5 Crotchet
6 Minim
7 Semibreve

Dotted notes: select the note value and press


period key (full stop) to add the dot.

Triplets: select note value, then Ctrl + 3 to create


triplet. Nb. This function works for all unusual note
groupings e.g. for a beamed group of 5 notes
press Ctrl + 5.

22
Activity 2: Navigation and Basic Edits
Now that you have a few notes on the score,
practice navigating through them and try these
simple edits.

Navigation

To move through your score one note at a time,


use your right and left arrows. Each note will
be played to you as you move through the score.

To move from one bar to the next, use Ctrl + right


and left arrows

To move from one staff to the next, use Alt +  up


and  down arrows.

Basic Edits

Ctrl + Z to undo your last action, or you can use


backspace and delete keys.

When a note is “live” arrow up  or down  to


adjust the pitch by a semitone. This will also add
sharp or flat signs as needed.
23
CTRL + arrow up  or down  to adjust the pitch
of a note by an octave.

ESC to get out of note input mode.

Input Option 3: Virtual keyboard


Press P to bring up virtual keyboard at the bottom
of your screen (p for piano). Select the desired
note value as above and then click the mouse on
the virtual keyboard to insert the note you want.

Input Option 4: Midi Keyboard


This option requires access to a midi-keyboard (a
piano keyboard that communicates with your
computer). A midi-keyboard may feel more
comfortable for keyboard players and has the
added advantage of inputting multiple notes at the
same time (i.e. to make a chord) however, if you
come to rely only on this option you will always
need to have a midi-keyboard available.

24
To use a midi-keyboard, you need to connect the
keyboard to your computer and turn it on before
opening MuseScore. Then open MuseScore,
press Alt + E to open the edit menu, then P to
open preferences. Arrow right to Note Input, Tab
to Enable MIDI input and tick this checkbox.
Press Enter. Importantly, you will need to restart
MuseScore to apply this change.

Nb. If you have multiple midi-instruments


connected, you will first need to open preferences
and ensure “midi-keyboard” is selected as your
input device. In the preferences menu, arrow right
to the I/O tab. Tab to MIDI input, arrow up or
down to find your MIDI keyboard and check this.
Click OK or Enter to apply this change.

The safest way to input notes using a midi-


keyboard is to follow the step-time input method.
Press N for note input mode, select your note
value using the num-pad and then press the key

25
(or chord) on the midi-keyboard. It is possible to
simply play your composition on the midi-keyboard
and the notes will appear on the screen … BUT …
nobody plays like a metronome so you will find the
music will appear on the screen with very strange
rhythms. This generally requires lots of editing
which takes much longer in the end.

 My suggestion is to get used to using your


QWERTY keyboard for everything and then
you have all the tools you need with you.

Activity 3: More Edits


Have a go at creating chords and adding ties and
slurs.

Creating Chords

There are three ways to create chords. You can


add extra notes to a chord 1) with the mouse, 2)
by name, and 3) by interval.

26
Mouse: hover your mouse on the stave and click
where you would like the note to be added.

For the following two methods, the note that you


want to build a chord on must be live (blue).

Name: Press Shift + letter name of the note that


you wish to add (A – G).

Interval: Press Alt + number of the interval you


wish to add (1 - 9).

Adding ties:

Press the + key on the first of the tied notes. This


will add a tie sign between the two notes. Nb. If
you know you want to tie a note as you inputting,
simply press the + key after you have inserted the
first note and it will automatically add a tie and the
second note. The second note will be the same
note value as the first so you may need to adjust
this.

27
Adding slurs:

Press the letter S on the first of the slurred notes.


This will position a slur between the two notes. If
you wish to extend the slur over more notes, hold
down Shift +  right arrow. Each time you press
the arrow key, the slur will move to the next note.

28
Input Option 5: Import from another source
The final input method to explore is importing
music from another source. This is really helpful if
your teacher has sheet music that has been
created in a different programme, or you need to
share your work with someone who uses a
different programme. The file type you need for
this is xml, however, be aware that it may still
require some editing once imported.

1.Open MuseScore but do not create a new


score.
2.Alt + F to open file menu
3.Arrow down  to “Open”. Press Enter. This
will take you to your saved files so you can
select the xml file you want. When you open
the file, there may be some different file
settings to work through. I usually just agree to
the default settings and press enter.

29
Activity 4: It’s time to listen and save!
Playback

Navigate to the section of the score you wish to


hear. Press the spacebar to play and pause.
Alternatively, you can arrow right  and left  to
move through the notes one at a time.

You can also access the playback options on the


menu bar with your mouse.

Saving and Exporting

Save your work in the same way that you save any
word doc or other file using Ctrl + S, or access the
file menu and arrow down to the save option. This
will save your file in MuseScore’s own format so
you can return to it and continue working on it at a
later date.

To save your composition in other formats


(e.g. .xml or .pdf) you will need to use the export
function.

30
To save your work as an xml:

Alt + F to open the file menu. Then arrow down 


to export, or simply press E. This opens a new
window with a range of export options. Tab to the
“Export to” spin box and use up  or down 
arrow to select MusicXML.

To save your work as a pdf, follow the instructions


above but select PDF file instead.

Lesson 3: More editing options


In this lesson, we will learn how to add and/or
change instruments, key or time signature, and
explore a range of additional edits you may use in
your composition.

Master Palette
Many of the edits below can be accessed via the
Master Palette window. This contains a list of key
elements in the score and it may become your
best friend as you tweak your composition. To

31
open the Master Palette window, press Shift + F9.
From here, you can select and apply a range of
nuances and edits. You can also access individual
palettes from the left side of the screen. However,
you may find it easier to remember some of the
shortcuts for specific edits listed in the appendix
and contained in the following activities.

Activity 1: Change the score set-up


Add instruments

Press I to open the instrument menu. Add


instruments to your score the same way you did
during the initial score set up.

Change key signature

Navigate to the position on the score you wish to


insert a new key signature. Press Shift + K to
open the key signature dialogue. Click on the key
signature you want and then click “add”.
Alternatively, you can Tab through to each section,

32
use the arrow keys to make a selection, Tab until
you hear “add”, press Enter to add it, and then esc
to return to the score.

Change time-signature

Press Shift + T to open the time-signature window


and then follow the same process for changing key
signature. Nb. You can also change the beam
properties in this window. E.g. quavers can be
grouped in twos or fours etc.

Adding/changing barlines

Navigate to the bar or barline you wish to edit and


open the master palette (Shift + F9). Select the
appropriate barline (e.g. end of section, repeat etc)
and click on it or press enter. Esc to return to the
score.

33
Activity 2: Add performance nuances
Have a go at editing your composition by adding
performance directions and nuances as directed
below.

Navigate to the note you wish to add a


performance sign (it should be blue) and apply the
following shortcuts.

Staccato: Shift + S

Tenuto: Shift + N

Crescendo and Diminuendo (hairpin signs): press


< or > sign. To extend the sign, press Shift + 
right arrow. Each time you press the arrow key,
the slur will move to the next note.

Expression text: e.g. f, p etc. Press Ctrl + E, then


type the text. This will add the text in underneath
the note in italic font.

Staff text: Press Ctrl + T, then type the text. This


will add text above the music in plain font. This is

34
how we include performance directions like Allegro
to the top of the score.

Activity 3: Add lyrics and chord symbols


Navigate to the note where the lyrics begin and
follow the shortcut keys below:

Lyrics

Press Ctrl + L and begin typing the text. The notes


will automatically reposition themselves and
stretch to fit the lyrics. Press spacebar to move to
the next note.

Use the hyphen (-) to break the syllables in a


word and spread these over several notes.

Use underscore (_) to extend a syllable over


several notes.

Chord symbols:

Press Ctrl + K to add chord symbol above the


notes, and type the letter required. The chord will
appear as a capital letter whether you press the
35
shift key or not. You will hear the chord played so
you can check it is the chord you desire. Press
spacebar as many times as necessary to move to
the next position and type the next chord symbol.

Chords will automatically be performed as major


chords. Add the letter “m” for a minor chord (e.g.
Gm), number for a chord with added notes (E.g.
D7), and use the forward slash if you wish a chord
to be performed with a different bass note (e.g.
G/B).

Activity 4: Editing larger passages of music


Music is made up of patterns of notes and rhythms
that are often repeated and/or sequenced in
different ways. In this activity, you will select a
whole passage of music copy it, paste it into a new
position, and/or edit the passage as a whole.

Selecting a passage of music

Navigate to, or click on first note of the passage of


music. Hold down Shift key and arrow right  to
36
select one note at a time and extend the selected
passage. Alternatively, you can simply click on
last note of the passage while still holding the shift
key. The selected notes will get a blue box around
them showing that they have been selected.

Use up  or down  arrows while you are still


holding the Shift key to include the staff above or
below in your selection.

Copy and Paste

Ctrl + C to copy, move your mouse to where you


want the music to go and then Ctrl + V to paste.
Alternatively, after copying your selection, you can
press Ctrl + F to open the “go to” function. Type in
the bar you wish to move to, press enter to return
to the score at that bar, and the Ctrl + V to paste it
into the new location.

37
Editing the passage

While the passage has the blue box around it, you
can edit the entire passage by adding nuances,
e.g. staccatos, or shifting the pitch using up  or
down  arrows.

If the passage has the same rhythm but it needs


different pitches, there is a clever re-pitch tool you
can use. This does not need to have the blue
“select” box around the notes. Make sure you are
in note input mode, select the re-pitch tool in the
drop down menu next to the Note input sign, then
click on the first note of passage. From here, if
you are using a midi-keyboard you can simply play
the new notes and these will be replace the
existing notes while retaining the original rhythm.
Alternatively you can use the QWERTY keyboard
to key in the note names.

Alternatively, press N to enter note input mode,


then Ctrl + Shift + I to access the re-pitch tool.
38
Activity 5: Formatting
Finally, here are a few more helpful formatting
tricks.

To add another bar at the end, press Ctrl + B. For


multiple bars, press Alt + Shift + B. This will open
a window where you can type in the number of
bars you wish to add. Alternatively you can use up
 or down  arrows to choose the number of bars
in the spin box. Press enter and they will be added
to the score.

To insert bars within the score, navigate to one bar


beyond the location where you want to insert more
bars. Press the Insert key. This will insert a bar
directly in front of the bar you have navigated to.
To insert multiple bars, press Ctrl + Ins and an
option to specify the number of bars to be inserted
will open (see paragraph above).

39
Some bars have a lot of notes and look too busy.
This can make it difficult to scan or read. In this
situation, you can stretch the bar to spread the
notes out. Select the bar or bars you wish to
stretch. A blue box will appear around the bar/s.
Press Shift + } and the bar/s will visibly grow wider
and stretch the notes out. Shift + { will reverse the
process and shrink the bar.

To force music onto a new line, navigate to the last


note in a bar, or click anywhere within the bar and
press enter. This will shift the following bars of
music onto a new line, automatically stretching the
music across the page.

To force music onto a new page and create a


page break, use the process above but press Ctrl
+ enter. This can be really helpful when you want
a new phrase or section to begin on the next page.
It helps to avoid page turning in awkward places!
