MuseScore is a scorewriter for Windows, macOS, and Linux supporting a wide variety of file formats and input methods. It is released as free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License. MuseScore is accompanied by a freemium mobile score viewer and playback app, and an online score sharing platform.
MuseScore's main purpose is the creation of high-quality engraved musical scores in a "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get" environment. It supports unlimited staves, linked parts and part extraction, tablature, MIDI input and output, percussion notation, cross-staff beaming, automatic transposition, lyrics (multiple verses), fretboard diagrams, and in general everything commonly used in sheet music. Style options to change the appearance and layout are available, and style sheets can be saved and applied to other scores. There are pre-defined templates for many types of ensembles. Functionality can be extended by making use of the many freely available plugins.
MuseScore can also play back scores through the built-in sequencer and SoundFont sample library. Multiple SoundFonts can be loaded into MuseScore's synthesizer. It includes a mixer to mute, solo, or adjust the volume of individual parts, and chorus, reverb and other effects are supported during playback. MIDI output to external devices and software synthesizers is also possible. |

The MuseScore files presented at the BCW have been provided by Ramon Casadesus-Masanell who coordinated the engraving. Engraving was mostly done by Javad Javadzade (https://www.javadjavadzade.com) and Полина Емельяненкова (Polina Yemelianenkova). The scores used for the engraving are from the Bach-Gesellschaft collection (https://imslp.org/wiki/Bach-Gesellschaft_Ausgabe_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)). The piano reductions are Bernhard Todt’s (published by Breitkopf und Härtel). Both collections are on the public domain. If your rights have been breached, especially the copyright, please send me a short message (mailto:casadesus@gmail.com) and the work will be removed. This is a private non-commercial collection.
Commercial publishing (for example, on other websites) or any public broadcasting or reproduction for commercial purposes is forbidden unless prior permission is granted.
