I use MuseScore 1.1 in conjunction with LMMS on Linux.. MuseScore gives me good sheet music, and LMMS helps me specify the sounds I want. Good free software is out there and gaining traction (all these are free). I’ve used Cubase before, and Muse Score and LMMS are just as good.

I’m not sure about this, Andy. This would be a great question to ask the folks over at the MuseScore website. Good luck!

I’m getting into MuseScore but I’ve never used Finale or Sibelius. On playback, musescore seems to ignore a lot of my articulation markings. For instance, it will play a staccato note, but not marcato. I’m wondering if some of the articulation and accent markings are too subtle for MIDI playback, or if MuseScore lacks the sophistication I’m looking for. I, too, am a MacBook user, FYI.

Thanks,
Andy

Cool software. As I can't read a music note then I have nothing to do with. But It's look like very cool. Maybe I can suggest to my friends.. Lol .-= Peter Jay´s last blog ..Our Very Very Own BRC Toolbar =-.

Thanks for a very informative blog! I’m not a Mac user myself, so I hope it will work better for my PC. I just get songs (melodies as well as words) in my head sometimes that I’d like to write down, but I’m horrible at reading and writing music, so I was looking for recommendations on various software. I need to investigate a bit more before committing to one, but this gives me a great starting point. ^_^

I am a Finale user, too. This is the first time I have heard of MuseScore. Most of my peers use Finale as well. I'm really excited to try out MuseScore because I also make worksheets and edit music for particular instrumentations. How exciting that they offer it free! Thanks for the links. .-= The Flight Sim´s last blog ..PC Flight Simulator =-.

I’m using MuseScore 0.9.5 for Mac (on my MacBook Pro, which has no num pad) tonight for the first time and can’t figure out how to get a tie to appear. The only + on my keyboard is the +/= key and that’s not working. Anyone else figure this out?

I’ve just realized that some macbooks do not have supp nor delete keys :)
You can achieve the same result with Fn + Backspace.

ohhhhhhhhhh, okay! I can handle that. Wow, is that weird that I have never heard of the Supp key? haha.

Thanks for all your help, lacsonic. Visit again soon!
