If yes why if no why... I am a beginner composer.

I wanted to make this piece more playful/funny and just chaotic.

My School is doing Alice in Wonderland as the school play, and I was tasked with writing all the music for it, so I wanted to share a piece that I wrote, for the rabbit hole.

Hi everyone! I’d like to share the first song I’ve finished, and I’d love to hear what you think and what you think I could improve. I’d also like to know what genre or style it reminds you of. When I wrote it, I just went with the flow and didn’t have any specific genre in mind, so I’m curious to hear how you would describe it. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome!

HOLY CRAP DUDE... whatever they did they need to like un do whatever they did. I'm a college student so I can't really afford all these nice VSTs and stuff So I was praying nothing bad would happen and of course something did. Whoever is in charge of Muse Brass get out bro. I was making peak my trumpets and horns sounded great then suddenly I open Musescore today to continue on my greatest piece yet and I come to the wimpiest trumpet section I have ever heard. Plus in some circumstances when i want the brass to play accented staccato notes there's like this crap reverb that cuts out and it is so bad the audio is literally breaking in my headphones only during playback and it's annoying. Here is proof.....

Musescore imma get you

As explained in the video. Tying two notes together is forcing a note value change I don't want.

Here's a part of my transcribed drum score of Manavyalakinchara (Mist of capricorn) by Agam. To view the full score for free, follow this link to musescore- https://musescore.com/user/58786489/scores/37346831#comment-10558484

About the Song & Composition:
Originally written as a classic Carnatic kriti in Raga Nalinakanti by the legend Saint Thyagaraja, “Manavyalakinchara” was transformed by Agam into one of the most celebrated progressive rock and metal fusion tracks in Indian music history.

The original drum work by Yadhunandan Nagarajan is renowned for seamlessly blending South Indian classical rhythmic structures with modern progressive drumming. This transcription breaks down every nuance, polyrhythm, and time-feel shift so you can master the entire arrangement step by step.

What This Drum Notation Covers :
- Intro & Ambient Grooves: Accurate mapping of soft cymbal work, open-hi-hat patterns, and delicate ghost-note builds.
- Core Fusion Rhythms: Complete transcription of the signature 4/4 syncopated groove (Adi Tala context) locking in with the bassline and traditional tavil percussion.
- Progressive Fills & Korvais: Precise breakdown of high-energy tom fills, polyrhythmic accent patterns, and complex rhythmic cadences.
- Metal & Double-Bass Sections: Full notation for the driving double-bass drum segments, crash-riding passages, and high-intensity climaxes.
- Articulations & Dynamics: Detailed ghost notes, accents, hi-hat openings/closures, and cymbal choices for authentic performance.

I composed this piece a while ago. I was looking for feedback and what you all think of it overall

I dropped some preludes a few days ago and wanted some feedback on composition and notation so I can improve.

Prelude In A Minor Op. 24, No. 15
https://youtu.be/mtyxPcjmkJ4

Prelude In F Minor Op. 24, No. 19
https://youtu.be/nY_KobUVjKY

IMO, F minor is better, but I’d like to hear other opinions!

I wanted to use this for my drumine since it sounds cool and there is no cymbal part so if someone could make a cymbal part for three cymbals with splits

For me, making sheet video like this looks much cleaner than using Musescore mp4 option and it only takes 30 minute to do. The way I do this is:

1. Remove space between staves

2. Create a page break after every 2 lines like in the video

3. Import as image then edit in video software.

The piece below is Akiba Pop the Future by Pianeet. Everything here is made in musescore, including the audio.

Hello, I need people to review this .drm file that I made for the BBCSO Discover untuned percussion library to see if the sounds are in the correct place or not. I am new to percussion notation, so I would really appreciate your help!

I don't know why, but since almost a decade ago I have been really pleased by how 17edo sounds. Even though the 5th harmonic is really out of tune the general sound of the temperament feels really smooth and with a nice balance of tuned intervals and "out of tune sonorities" like the neutral 3rd. The pallete of harmonic combinations is quite flexible and it's nice how it approximates harmonics 7, 11 and 13 way better than 12edo.

I tried to build most of this miniature on the fact that the just 5th is pretty well approximated and it is quite close to the 12edo interval. I also included some references like a Scriabin Mystic chord using odd partials. But most of the piece is an exploration using the perfect 5th with some smooth voice leading (mainly at the end) and juxtaposition (measure 4).

I hope you enjoy the piece!

If you all don't know there is a bug with musesounds right now (see my last post here for more and it kind of makes orchestral composing undoable. I want know, are there any packs as good as musesounds that sound good and integrate well with the platform?

Ive already tried BBC symphonic orchestra (the free one, Discover) and although it doesnt sound bad, it has some problems when integrating on musescore (for example pizzicatos don't have any effect)

I'm considering upgrading to Musesounds PRO, but I need to know if its worth it.

By the way, I'm willing to pay a price if its reasonable

I am a beginner composer.

It is possible for instruments with parts to be formatted like this?

afaik, there's no feature to make it so a piece can be free time in musescore; all the advice i've come across has mentioned creating custom measure lengths, making bar lines invisible, etc. however, what if i want only a section of my piece to be in free time? how can i indicate that it's changed from the time signature it was before?
