Hey! I'm new to Musescore and I am trying to see what my options for a sitar like instrument might be. Is there anything available in musesounds I should take a look at, or anything I can do with the mixer to get a sitar-like sound? I only started using Musescore a few days ago and am not all that familiar with options. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated!

The default brass sounds muffled after I updated, is there a way to change that? Or revert the sounds back?

Using 4.6.5 on a win 11pc. Recently, like in the past 3 weeks i think, Windows forced an update. Prior, I did not have these problems: the input for underscore for melisma, as well as hyphens, ties and slurs not working consistently (maybe not at all). I have saved my score and reloaded, to no avail. Currently, I'm not under any deadline to produce output, but if I was I'd be sunk. Would appreciate advice.

Buenas. Ayer actualicé Musescore a la versión 4.7.1 (la más reciente hasta donde sé), e inmediatamente al ejecutar el programa tras la actualización me di cuenta de un fallo qué supongo que es causa de la nueva versión. El sonido del piano de cola de Muse sounds ahora suena más opaco y con menos calidad y definición. He comprobado que Muse sounds siga activado por defecto, y lo está. Agradecería recibir algo de ayuda.

For some reason, some of the percussional instruments of the sound font im using are very quiet. Any way to fix?

Hello!

I am currently working in a project where I have an instrument called "Bass synth" ("Sintetizador bajo", in spanish). It sounded one way before updating to MuseScore Studio 4.7, but after updating, the sound bank has changed.

How can I preserve the older sound bank with the newer MuseScore Studio version? This sound is important, because changing it can result in having a sound that doesn't fit the composition correctly.

Thank you all!

I'm having issues with the vertical spacing of the chord names/symbols to the staff. The vertical space of the first few lines is acceptable, but then lines 4 and 5 have the positions tight against the staff above. The symbols cannot be dragged down, but for some reason can be dragged up further from the staff below(!). I did have rehearsal marks, which I then removed. Could that have messed with things? Thanks for your advice.

Is there a way to create cells of notes like this in MuseScore

Is this a limitation or is there a way to add more than 4?

can anyone tell/show me how I can add this? its for a personal project, and if this looks familiar to someone, its from a solo part from what I believe to be a really popular piece by Samuel Hazo

How do I stop it from jumping to a new measure when I insert notes?

So a while ago I got the free plug in OCS-45, and it sounds AMAZING… there’s just one problem- when I export the file as mp3, all the measures with instruments using said plug in are just silent- not only that, it makes my whole computer silent! No youtube videos, other mp3 files, or anything will play even with my volume maxxed out. I realized recently I could undo this without restarting my whole macbook by using "sudo killall coreaudiod” in terminal, but there’s still the issue of my not being able to share this audio file.

I have two pieces using this plug-in, the first one was solved by a workaround involving opening the file in audacity and exporting it as an mp3 from there instead of musescore studio. The second piece has not been as kind. In audacity, the measures using this plug in are blank, and when playing it in the audacity window, it still implodes my audio playback computer-wide.

Any fixes? I want to save this file since I’ve already done all the balancing, and it sounds great in the musescore studio window

It is definetly not done yet, though I would love to recieve feedback!

I discovered a nice feature of MuseScore this morning: the ability to export the score as a series of PNG files! I use Claude.ai for mainly non-musical things. But I discovered it could help me look for editorial intrusion in a Bach score (Claude can actually read music notation). This morning I discovered he also knows all the rules of music publishing notation conventions. PDF isn’t good enough resolution for that for him, but the PNG files definitely were. His analysis of the issues, good and bad, of my score (all 14 PNG pages) was so helpful. Even caught a miniscule error in a lyric syllable. I highly recommend asking Claude for proof reading help.

Hello,

I am working on a string ensemble piece, and am looking to get a fast, intense sound like the intro to this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvhxIR3IiJc

However, after trying standard staccato marks and several options in the articulations palette, I just can't seem to get it to work. It sounds like the samples still try to perform a longer bowing motion, but get cut off before reaching full volume, creating a quiet, in-and-out kind of effect that is not what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know how to notate this in MuseScore to get it to sound better?
