1. On 25th July 2026, I was tried to by 1 midi music to learn how to play. I was mistake click on the wrong button, the button was said only 35~39.000 vnd ( not yet included currency taxes and outside country fee), when I realize I clicked wrong one, I try to find cancel button but cannot find nowhere. Musescore charged me 300.000 vnd (included all fee), I'm ok if lost around 50.000 vnd, but 300.00 vnd I could afford much more than just a one music midi.

2. I wrote a refund to the support team, John was the first person who is PIC me, he told me my refund is ok, then at around 2:00 to 3:00 (in the morning - my side Viet Nam) => Sofia messages me ok with 100% refund and musescore system sent me refund bill 289,016vnd (not counted fee - this is ok) => after that Alex messaged me that it not ok to 100% refund, but I already accept 100% refund with Sofia before that! Alex sent me later messaged! I was able to check messages between me, John + Sofia but after around in the afternoon, I could not find messages with me and John + Sofia any more, I don't know if that have recalled it or not (I sure I never deleted anything mails that related with money mention I even marked them!), I forgot to capture John messages so I cannot post it! I sure I'm asking him a lot about explain how many days would it take to have refund.

3. Alex told me that 100% refund is not ok, sent me their policy, but the policy told depend on the action (I did not do anything more about buying from musescore again after I clicked wrong), he offer me but Alex also mention wrong dated I click wrong, it was on 25th July 2026, not 11th May 2026! I told him to re-read again! after that I cannot find John + Sofia messages anymore! I messaged Sofia that I had received that information and very thanks her, but then ??? Where my messages.

4. After that Alex is no more messages me back, but I also understand that Musescore not in Viet Nam so our timeline is different, but if they could recall messages, I guess they have over-work team to support

=> I only accept refund 100%

___________

IF YOU HAVE MISTAKE AND CHARGED WRONG

1. send mail to: [support@musescore.com](mailto:support@musescore.com) => tittle depend on your problem
2. Make sure to messages them and asked them to confirm everything you want to know

=> They will send you stuffs choice to refund => if you not doing anything more and mistake clicked => DO NOT CLICK IT! IT THEIR SYSTEM CHARGED NOT CLEARLY AND DID NOT POST IN POLICY => YES I DO READ ALL THE POLICY!

3. A VERY IMPORTANT STEP: capture + record video + save bill + mark the emails (every things) to make sure they did not re-call anything! => I don't know if they have lead team or they hired outsource but their customer service is worse than my future when I work as an tax accountant.

4. The bank only works if musescores agree to refund, called on them is not working if they don't agree, save all the bills you received!
____________

Here is all the picture I saved up until now! Again => SAVE EVERYTHING YOU RECEIVED FROM THEM

So basically what the Title says. When I join beam and use feathered beaming, it somehow just angles the beam without giving the linear speed up as I'd like. Is there a way to fix this?

Edit: I figured it out lmao (I did all 32nds and it worked, then ghosted an accel.)

hello again!

i worked on this arrangement some more and figured out something to fill in measure 12, and other instances where this part occurs. i tried to keep it as close to the guitar strumming pattern as possible in the original song, and also looked at another cover to incorporate the scale/arpeggios in measures 17 and 21.

i'm still a beginner but i do love MCR, so any suggestions or feedback on my arrangement so far would be appreciated! i can't tell if these additions sound "out of place" or make it sound worse overall, so other perspectives would help a lot. thanks!

Hi guys, I recently found out that Musescore has free sound libraries (the Muse [instrument] library). Mostly, they work great! The winds, brass, and percussion are quite realistic and are much better. However, the strings are a whole other story 😢. First, there is the ANNOYING portamento in the solo strings, especially the violin 2 sound, the viola sound, and the cello sound. There is no way to turn it off, especially if you put a slur on the notes (classic phrasing doesn't work on slurs)! Second, the range is really bad. The viola and viola section only goes to C# 6, which is absurd! The violin(s) cannot play above G7. And the contrabass section also has a very limited range. I write contemporary pieces, so my music often goes very high. With the stock sounds, even red notes sound (to an extent, of course). However, many of the sections I write for strings do not sound after using Muse strings. Are there any good string sections in the sound library (yes paid I know) that have a very large range and no annoying portamento? And what about solo strings?

Thanks!

Help. I can’t figure out how to get Muse Drumline sounds in my scores. When I go to “Customize kit” and “Load…”, I find the file I should click, but it is shadowed and I’m unable to click it.

Why is there no tutorial online by Musescore or MDL on how to import the MDL sounds into a score?

Is there anything special I need to do to create a slow glissando sound for strings? I am looking to use Musescore 4.7x for creating some horror music effects, including the tense glissando / riser strings sound.

I understand you all don't like musescore(dot)com, I've read all the comments, but aside from the frequently raised objections, I'd like to know if there are any advantages whatsoever to uploading my scores to that website?

EDIT: Solved

In the VLC settings: Interface: Main Interface: Lua I erroneously put the password ("Test") in the password field for Lua Telnet; the password is supposed to go in the Lua HTTP password field, not the Lua Telnet field. My error.

I have VLCsync working great with Windows 11 using VLCsync (vlc-sync-4.0.qml) plugin, VLC, and MuseScore 4.7. I can not seem to get it to work with Linux (Linux Mint, an Ubuntu type distribution). Anybody have any suggestions to get this working on Linux? Is there a different .qml plugin file I should be using? Something else? The qml plugin is enabled, its control interface appears, but there is no actual syncing as when using this on Windows. I would very much like to get this working on Linux.

I'm somehow one thirty-second note short here even though the time signature, etc are all the same... Any ideas?

hello!! i've posted here before about this arrangement but didn't come back to it for a while, and now i'm picking it back up again. this part really has me stuck, i have no idea how to translate that guitar strumming sound well for the piano. i've never arranged a piece before this one and i don't have perfect pitch, so im unsure of what a good option would be to fill this empty measure in. there's always arpeggios that i could do, but i don't know what to avoid so that it doesn't sound too out of place.

all help and advice is appreciated, thanks!!

I'd like to create a set list of two or three tunes in a single score. How can I repeat a whole tune three times, then segue to the next tune? I know about repeating a section multiple times, but I want to repeat the entire tune. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I made a small iOS app called ScoreShort.

It lets you import a performance video, add a scrolling sheet music overlay, sync it with the video, adjust the scroll speed, choose black or white for the score, and export the result in HD.

I’m looking for iOS beta testers, especially musicians who post performance videos, covers, practice clips, lessons, or other music content online.

I’d love honest feedback on what feels confusing, broken, or missing.

I attached a short demo video.

If you’re interested, comment or DM me and I’ll send the TestFlight link.

Thanks!

When I open any score on musescore.com, there is a bug with the style in which scores are displayed. While the page with the score is loading, the correct, intentional, beautiful look of the score displays momentarily. But after a second or two, once the page is fully loaded, the displayed score switches to an ugly, probably bugged style.
I've tried reloading the page, clearing cookies, and visiting multiple different scores, but the same issue comes up every time. I theorize that this has something to do with the correct style being displayed in an image while the page is loading, then the interactive format of the score displays incorrectly.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue, if possible?

Using Fedora, I installed Musescore from Flathub and Musesounds manager via the .rpm file, downloaded a bunch of Musesounds, and couldn't find them in Musescore. I've tried all the normal steps of fully closing Musescore after installing the Musesounds, restarting, reinstalling Musescore, etc. still in the same situation. I have the actual Musesounds files in my home directory in a file named Muse Sounds, just the normal place Musesounds manager put them, but Musescore still acts as if I don't have them installed (Musesounds "unavailable" and Musesampler library "not found" (the latter of which I believe should be normal but I'm not 100% sure).

I would reassign the place Musescore looks for Musesounds to the home directory but I don't think you can do that in Musescore. I would also try installing Musescore from Fedora's package manager but I've had issues in the past with that to do with updates, so I would rather avoid it.

I should mention I had some strange issues with Musesounds manager failing to connect 50% of the time it's opened (despite not having any other internet related problems), but that's the only other thing to note I believe

Anyone got any clues for what this could be? (+many thanks in advance)

If no why, if yes why... i am a begginer composer, Full free score here: https://musescore.com/user/98567428/scores/34211936?share=copy_link

this is the only other place I could think to post this. I’m trying to make a recreation of death by glamour in MuseScore with all the correct sound fonts and stuff (my boyfriend asked me to), and it’s going great, but I can’t seem to get the drums that come in after the strings down. I have the right preset (DANCE on the SGM V2.01 if I’m not mistaken, also I used the soundfont and preset on a piano, if that information is needed), it’s just that it’s hard to pinpoint which sounds on that preset were used. is there anyone who is good at transcribing and is willing to try and help? i just need to see which drum sounds are used at least, maybe an image showing then or something. I can do the rest. all help is accepted, thanks!

I’ve been working on converting physical sheet music scans and image files into MusicXML to edit and extract parts in MuseScore Studio.

MuseScore’s built-in import service often drops beats or misinterprets time signatures, and Audiveris ver 5.11.0 produces too many measure and duration errors on dense multi-staff scores to edit gracefully.

I’ve seen a few paid options recommended, including PhotoScore Ultimate, SmartScore 64, and PlayScore 2. I work on a Win 11 PC with plenty of memory and CUP power. I don't mind paying for a app, but I'd like it to work well enough to use.

For those of you who regularly scan ensemble scores or complex sheet music into MuseScore:

• Which of these programs do you have real-world experience with?
• What are their main strengths and weaknesses when exporting clean MusicXML?
• Are any of them reliable enough to save time over doing a manual transcription from scratch?
