[Menvi-discuss] Regarding Musescore.com website

[Jeanie Willis]

Yes, that pop up that has the download options is hard to find with a screen reader the first time.  I’d just add that once you’ve searched for a file there are a whole lot of filters you can use at the top of the page, but you can jump to heading level 1 to get to the scores that are available.  If a score is labelled as an official score I don’t think we can get access to it as these seem to be a graphic online to view but all the rest are available to download (depending on paid or unpaid).  You need to press enter on the title of the one you want to open its page and then find the download button, you can also hear the score online.  I think I usually hit B for button about 5 times to get to the play button then quite a few more to get to the download button if it sounds like what I want.  Then as Ella said after pressing the download button you need to jump right to the bottom of the page and press enter where it says download this score (or something to that effect) and then arrow down to the option for Download as Musescore file and press enter.  It will automatically save it to your downloads folder.

 

I have found a few scores where there is only an option to print not download which is frustrating.  I think this is set for some reason by the person sharing them.

 

Have fun searching for files.

Hi, yes, you can absolutely download anything you find on musescore.com <http://musescore.com>  and open them in the MuseScore software. musescore.com <http://musescore.com>  is specifically designed for users to share downloadable scores. Some scores will have the download feature disabled, but for most scores, you simply need to locate the download button, go to the bottom of the page, press enter on the dialog, and you're ready to grab the score. You do need to create an account to download stuff. Downloading public domain and original scores is free, but you do need a paid subscription to access copyrighted material, such as pop songs, in order to pay the copyright holders.

Hello friends,
Thank you so much for your suggestions on musescore software. I have
started learning it.
A few days ago, I visited the website called musescore.com <http://musescore.com> . On this
website, many users have shared their music score's performances. So
my questions to you are, that are these music scores accessible for
us? Can we copy them in our musescore software and listen them?
