MuseScore is a popular open-source music notation software that allows musicians, composers, and music educators to create, edit, and share sheet music. The app provides a comprehensive set of tools for writing musical scores, including support for multiple instruments, advanced notation features, chord symbols, lyrics, and audio playback. Users can export their compositions in various formats including PDF, MIDI, and MusicXML, making it easy to share work with other musicians or import into digital audio workstations like Logic Pro. MuseScore is widely used by both amateur and professional musicians for everything from simple lead sheets to complex orchestral arrangements, and it's completely free to use.

1 suggestionGood news! MuseScore has been confirmed to have a native Universal Binary version available. Your current version 2.1 is significantly outdated — the latest version is 4.6.5, which runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs and has been confirmed working in our user community. You should update immediately to MuseScore 4.6.5 to get native Apple Silicon support along with years of improvements and new features. The latest version is now called 'MuseScore Studio' and can be downloaded directly from the official website. This will completely resolve your Rosetta 2 dependency while giving you access to the most current version of this actively developed software.
