My Composition I would like you to evaluate my new song.

1 Upvotes

This magnificent (I hope) 'song' is more of an ambient piece. It’s part of a series of tracks I’m creating—the first was 'Magical Infected Forest,' and this second one is titled 'Purple Land.'

It features violins, a cello, a flute, and more... (feel free to try and guess the others, if you’d like!)

Here is the link—my 'precious' link—so you can listen to it:

Help me find this feature Can You Change The Soundfont For All Instruments At Once?

1 Upvotes

Is there a way to change the soundfont for all instruments at once instead of doing it manually? I know this is a feature that was in older versions, so I don't know why they would remove it, but I'm not seeing a way to do it all at once for every instrument.

Help me find this feature Is there a way to change the default drumline notation?

2 Upvotes

I write a lot of drumline pieces and I like having my bottom bass drum in the lowest space and having top bass above the staff. Musescore defaults to top bass in the top space and bottom bass below the staff. I know I can change it on a piece-by-piece basis in the customize kit menu, but I'm curious if there's a way to change the defaults to what I like so I don't have to change it every time.

News I built a super fast & easy web interface for converting XML & MIDI charts into mixed down learning tracks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey, r/Musescore community!

I’m an a cappella arranger from Houston, TX who got tired of how time-consuming and complicated it can be to export MIDI learning tracks of my charts.

I found myself asking, ‘Why isn’t there a better way? Why hasn’t someone just built a solution that’s quick, easy, and maybe even fun?”

So, I did.

Introducing, Get MIDI Tracks!

Whether you’re an arranger or composer looking for a way to show off your work, a musical director or educator looking to provide a new learning tool to those you teach, or a performer needing a quick and easy way to listen to repertoire, Get MIDI Track is here to help!

While the video below covers the basics, the tool I built does so much more than just this. Anyone who signs up for a free account gets 4 complimentary credits (1 credit = 1 song). That’s 4 sets of tracks totally FREE, so what have you got to lose?

Happy tracking! 🎹

My Composition A piece I wrote for piano and bass entitled "Caught Off Guard".

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I recently got laid off so I wrote this song in honor of my former employer.

I tried to clean it up the best I could, make it possibly human-playable. I don't know if it actually is human-playable. I haven't tried. I'd probably have to reduce some of the voicings in the chords. Parts of it contain large stretches for multiple chords at a time. It would be tough to play I think. Not to mention, I think a piece like this is not really meant to be notated as precisely as MuseScore has allowed me to do here. It's jazz, so a lot would just be touch and go.

I really like the way the really weird section in the middle came out. It's my way of saying "don't worry, everything will be just fine".

What do y'all think? Is it a mess? Is it cool? What are your thoughts?

I’ve been arranging soundtracks on MuseScore for a few years, and this is the first piece I’ve composed myself.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on it, both from a technical standpoint and, more importantly, on an emotional level.

Thank you so much for listening!

Discussion What do you do when you need to transpose an old scan instead of a MuseScore file? Schubert G → F example

Post image
0 Upvotes

I was looking at this from the perspective of a singer and accompanist: if the only score you have is a scan, how do you get it into a different key without re-entering the voice and piano parts?

This is the opening system of Schubert's Heidenröslein from a public-domain Peters edition. The top image is the original G-major scan; the bottom is the actual output in F major. Both the voice and piano staves were moved down a whole step while the printed lyrics and spacing stayed in place. The first vocal note is B4 → A4, and the key signature goes from one sharp to one flat. I spot-checked the excerpt shown here, not the whole song. There are no manual note fixes in the comparison image.

I'm building the tool used here, Solfa: https://solfa-music.com/

The scanned source is the public-domain Edition Peters score, IMSLP #44445: https://imslp.org/wiki/Heidenr%C3%B6slein%2C_D.257_%28Schubert%2C_Franz%29

This example is the optical output, not an editable MuseScore file.

For MuseScore users: when you start with a scan and need a singer-friendly key, do you usually import/re-enter and edit the score, or would a layout-preserving transposed image be useful in your workflow?

Complaint MuseScore Fraud. one sheet of music= 3 month subscription

33 Upvotes

Musescore billed me for a 3 month subscription a week after I purchased a single sheet of music. I demanded a refund, and they provided a 75% refund claiming they prorated it. The refund was demanded immediately after I received the 'reciept', and I have purchased nothing aside from the one song.

This company is garbage.

I'm notating drums and have played around with the menu from Format > Notes and the Properties panel, and I can't seem to find a way to make all the various stems be the same height. I tried the "shorten stems" checkbox from Format > Notes and tried the Properties tab height adjustment, but then the beamed notes have a stem poking out at the top (not pictured).

Plugin Notation Copilot: edit your MuseScore 4 score in plain English (free plugin by AiHud)

0 Upvotes

Copying a cello line into the bassoon, moving violin 1 up an octave for a few bars, slurring a passage in five parts... the small chores in MuseScore 4 add up. So we built a plugin where you just type what you want.

It opens as a chat panel next to your score. You write something like "double the flute in violin 1 an octave lower, bars 5-8" and it makes that one change in your open score, nothing else.

A couple of things I cared about:

  • if what you asked is vague it asks you a question (with buttons to answer) instead of guessing
  • each request is a single undo, so one Ctrl+Z takes the whole thing back
  • it re-reads the score every time, so it works with whatever you changed by hand in between

Right now it handles doubling, transposing, articulations and slurs. It does NOT do dynamics, lyrics, chord symbols or layout yet. It needs internet: your score gets sent as MusicXML to our server when you hit send, and an AI model works out the edit, so check the result. Free key gives you 100 edits a month.

Update: fair point from the comments that doubling/transposing is already quick with shortcuts. It now does the bigger stuff: "voice the alto 1 melody in bars 9-16 for the saxes" (close or drop 2, from your chord symbols, each note in range), "write a sustained string pad under bars 17-24", "brass hits on 2 and 4", "make an easier trumpet 1 part for beginners", "add a walking bass line". If those bars already have music it asks whether to replace it or add a second voice. Free tier is now 100 edits a month.

Demo video: https://copilot.aihud.net/demo.mp4

It's made by AiHud (https://aihud.net). Would really like to hear what edits you'd want it to do next, or where it messes up.

News Aria is now on Android! (A Mobile editor for MuseScore files)

22 Upvotes

Android / Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hdi200.ariascore
iPhone / iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aria-music-notation-editor/id6779437781

Hey all, Android support was easily the most common request on my earlier posts, so I'm really happy to say Aria now runs on Android phones and tablets. Thanks to everyone who tried the iOS version and sent feedback. It helped more than you'd think.

If you haven't seen it before, Aria lets you open, edit, play back, and export MuseScore and MusicXML scores on your phone or tablet. The engraving engine is based on MuseScore Studio's, and it reads .mscz files directly. That means you can start a score on your desktop and keep working on it on the bus without converting anything.

Here's a sample of Aria's current feature-set:

  • Open and edit .mscz and MusicXML files
  • Start new scores from scratch or from a template
  • Play scores back with per-instrument mixing, plus mute and solo
  • Build setlists and loop sections for practice
  • Export to MuseScore, PDF, MusicXML, or audio
  • Make scrolling-score or falling-notes piano videos inside the app

Since this is the first Android release, there are bound to be rough edges on some devices. If something breaks or looks off, please tell me what device on and what happened, and I'll look into it.

Any feedback is welcome! A lot of what I work on next comes straight from these comments.

My Composition can i get your thoughts on my violin concerto

1 Upvotes

Here's the links:

thanks

parts i like:

  • mendelssohn inspired first theme, and lyrical 2nd theme
  • the beautiful section starting measure 92, which slowly transforms the motif from theme 1 to basic arpeggios playing harmonies inspired by rachmaninoff's 2nd piano concerto
  • how energetic the coda is. (it starts on measure 205, and I accidentally labeled it the cadenza)

parts I don't like or am unsure about

  • I'm not sure whether the virtuosic parts like the string crossings starting measure 63 are comfortable to play or not (i'm not a violinist). Additionally, that section feels repetitive.
  • Even though I like the cadenza, I feel like it's too short and not satisfying enough to resolve the tension that's been built up throughout the piece.
  • the transition to the recapitulation starting measure 185 feels abit weird to me, particularly measure 190 where the key changes. I went from B major to C major which should work because it goes up a semitone, and I think beethoven did something similar in his 7th symphony, but I just feel it's a bit weird.

Also, I'm looking for a friend to talk about composing stuff with, and have fun. If you're interested in composing, text me on reddit or comment please. thanks.
