[Menvi-discuss] My first mail

[Siddharth Keshri]

Hello Geanie,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have downloaded Musescore and
musehub software. I was able to install musescore properly. But, when
I tried to install musehub, it did not prompt me for the installation,
such as click next button etc. I am trying to learn musescore from
their hand book of help section.
Thank you so much once again.
