MuseScore 3
While this course was originally developed for MuseScore 2, it has now been updated for MuseScore 3, with dozens of new videos and dozens more notes about what has changed.
Meanwhile, development continues, and so does this course. The current version as I write this is MuseScore 3.5, and we have you covered. We want this course to always be the #1 resource for learning MuseScore, so we will strive to continue to keep it up to date!
"I use MuseScore daily and figured I’d give the course a try (the price was too low to pass up). It’s great – I’ve picked up a bunch of time-saving tricks and learned about some features I never knew existed. I’ve just been poking around at particular topics of interest but little by little I’m sure I’ll watch the whole thing. Thanks for this great resource!" - Jeff L.
