Many teachers don’t even show how to change notation fonts or how to create parts out of a score or how to add guitar chord windows or lyrics.

We use this big professional program for simple staff notation exercises or composition work, usually just selecting a few instruments and making a score.

A set of fifteen or more copies will set you back a four-figure sum: Sibelius 8.5 with all bells and whistles and a year’s upgrade built in with set you back around £4,500.īut how much of the program do we actually use with students? The answer is usually, “very little” or “only the basics”. But it is not cheap, despite their very generous education pricing. Sibelius can do some amazing things which is why many professional composers use it for scoring and printing their work. Finale and Notion users will now tell me I’m completely wrong, but as far as I can tell from experience talking to colleagues, Sibelius is more popular in schools. Ever since it arrived on the scene in the UK, Sibelius has been the premier staff notation software used in schools across the land. Memes are fun! Here is not the place for them.ĭownload requests to users with Pro accounts are not permitted.The big Daddy of notation software is Sibelius. Preferably no memes or macros, there's a subreddit for classical memes already linked down below, and I'm sure they'd appreciate it. Don't know how to do something? Just ask! We're here to help, and if we can't, there's either someone who can or we'll find a link to help! There are no dumb questions, just the fear of being embarrassed.

Should you find a tutorial or create one of your own that would be helpful to the readers here, please post it! Tutorials are welcome! There are links below to other subreddits that are certainly helpful for making music, but maybe not specifically to Musescore. Please be respectful in comments and constructive criticism should OP ask for it. Hello everyone! This is a subreddit for the free and open source music notation software MuseScore!
