Step 4: Launch MuseScore Studio

Step 5: Assign the sounds to your score
In MuseScore Studio, create a new score and select the instruments you want to include. MuseSounds will be automatically assigned to the appropriate instruments, but you can assign sounds yourself in the mixer. This is useful if, for example, you have multiple virtual sounds of the same instrument.
If this all sounds too good to be true… well, we can assure you it’s both true and sounds really, really good. As an example, have a listen to this score by the venerable movie orchestrator and composer, Nicholas Dodd, played back from the free Muse Orchestra, developed by Muse Group and available free – only in Muse Hub.
