My final composition included an oboe, a bassoon, a trumpet and a violin - as well as a timpani and some chimes, because I absolutely could not help myself. But it's easy enough to change instruments by right-clicking on a staff and then selecting the Change Instrument button under Staff Properties.

In the end, only the oboe and the bassoon made the cut. From there, I was able to select the instruments I wanted: a French horn, an oboe, a clarinet and a bassoon. After I toyed around with a few notes, it didn't have the range I was looking for, so I wound up starting fresh, with a blank template. This gave me access to two trumpets, a trombone and a tuba. There are 20-odd templates, with everything from a bluegrass band, to a string quartet, to a full orchestra.ĭrawing on the theme to Star Trek: The Next Generation as an inspiration, I selected the brass-quartet template. The next screen is more important, because it's where MuseScore will ask what kind of piece you want to compose. When you click on Create New Score, you'll get a wizard to walk you through the basics, including the title and composer.

Assume that you'll have to do without it, although the program maintains a helpful how-to database online. This is an excellent resource - but after I closed it, I was never able to find it again.

Note that when you first install the program, you'll see a prewritten piece, which explains the basics of the program in an interactive fashion. With that out of the way, getting started is easy enough.
