Play Songs on Your Computer

Play the MuseScore Songs for the Term Using Your Computer

1. The best way to play MuseScore songs on your desktop or laptop computer is to download and install the MuseScore app for your PC or Mac.  Follow the instructions at:  https://musescore.org/en/3.6. 

2. If you don’t have the MuseScore versions of this season’s songs, ask Diane Walter (dianepwalter@gmail.com) for them. You must save them to your computer to play. Create a folder on your computer in a location you can find easily and save all the songs into the folder. 

3. The MuseScore program allows you to increase the volume of your part, and to slow it down if needed.  You can also save the song as an mp3 file with your part louder using the Export feature under the File menu in Musescore.

• • To increase the volume of your part, use the VIEW menu to find the MIXER.  Open the mixer and use the sliders to increase the volume of your part, and decrease the volume of the other parts.  Then close the mixer.

  • To slow down playback of the music, use the VIEW men to find the PLAY PANEL.  Open the play panel and change tempo from 100% to something lower, like 90%.  Then close the play panel.
