MuseScore
MuseScore is a popular open-source music notation software that allows musicians, composers, and music students to create, edit, and share sheet music. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for writing musical scores, including support for multiple instruments, playback with realistic sounds, and professional-quality score formatting. The software is widely used by music educators, composers, and performers for creating everything from simple lead sheets to complex orchestral arrangements. MuseScore also features a large online community where users can share and discover musical scores.

1 suggestionGood news! MuseScore already has native Apple Silicon support. The app became a universal binary with version 4.4 in August 2024, allowing it to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs without Rosetta 2. Since you're currently running version 3.6.2, you'll need to upgrade to MuseScore Studio 4.4 or later (the latest is 4.6.5) to get native performance. Note that MuseScore 4 represents a major update with a redesigned interface and new features, so there may be a learning curve when upgrading from version 3. You can download the latest universal binary directly from the MuseScore website or through their official channels.
