Very useful brother! I'm migrating from Finale to MuseScore and it was such a great content! Thank You

[FedorKomov]

Wowowow! You're an awesome teacher for music teachers all over the world! Probably even the best. Thank you!

I’m brand new to MuseScore so this video was super helpful thank you! I spent an hour working out some things for creating rhythm exercises, but your video has explained so much more that I can now use 😃

Amazing tutorial the frames section was impressive thank you!!

The teacher that changed my life, was in primary school..grade 6. Mr Kennedy! He was a Ballymena man but I know you are not related, as you don't sound like a County Antrim man!! Thanks for a very concise video. I learned a lot and enjoyed the accent. Homesick in Kaapstad!

very helpful ! I was searching for how to insert ties using keyboard shortcuts, and thanks to the video, I found it. Also handy tips regarding F11 functions

Very good, I've learned loads from here. The Screen Capture for example. I can put this in a word document and write the text to what I want as forget too many things. The other thing I use is Nashville Numbers. Didn't even know they were on. Thank you so much. 10 out of 10

Great video. I’ll be returning to it often, probably slowing it down in the YouTube settings. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks very much David. Great tutorial.

[peterdaley]

Thanks, great explanation. Easy to follow tutorial :-)

[Suavissimo]

Great, very helpful! BTW, I used to think you had to zero in on and click barlines, too—but you can actually select anything in a bar (the whole bar, or even one note) and press Enter, and that bar becomes the last in its system. Easy!

the first one was blowing my mind :D love it

[chchnzearthmilkyway]

David. Could you tell me the version of MuseScore you use in this lecture?
There are too many versions of MuseScore each have different features.

[bieziebievocalcoaching]

You're my hero! Great help for making new music courses!

[barryturnbull]

hi, great vid, do you know of any vids about pipeband snare application

[xavierjazzcanada]

Nice job - clear and concise. I also like your understated presentation. If I may make a suggestion, when you brought up the piano keyboard, it showed in transparent mode, and your image was also transparent. I thought that was a good idea. Keep it up - good luck.

Thx for the tips. I have another problem, why musescore put notes I don't want to use. Why is so capricious and where to switch off the automatic note writing? And how to change the sound of reproduction from midi to piano?

[jt_jeetee]

Tip 1: No need to highlight the barline specifically, having anything selected in the measure will do.

Hi there, I am trying to record my music sheet for a YouTube video and I need the continuous view to go but is not working, any tips for that?,
