Hi Everyone –
MuseScore recently release version 3.0. In this class you will see me using Version 2.
You are welcome to use Version 3 – there is no significant changes to the look and feel of it, so you should be able to follow along just fine.
But there is a change to the price:
MuseScore, as a desktop application, is still free – so please use that. But if you search for MuseScore as a tablet application, you will find a rather expensive program. This is not the version IÂ am using in this class. IÂ am using the desktop application (for Mac, but the PCÂ version is fine, too). You are welcome to use the tablet version, but please note it is not a free program.
That’s it! On to the class!
