• Fes clic a l'icona de Nova partiura situat com a primer element de la barra d'eines superior;

Introduir informació de la partiura

Pas 1: Introduir informació de la partitura

Introdueix el títol, el o la compositora, o qualsevol de la informació que es demana. Un cop fet, fes clic a Següent >. Aquest pas és opcional: també podeu afegir aquesta informació un cop creada la partitura (podeu veure Marc vertical).

Escollir una plantilla

Pas 2: Escollir una plantilla

A la columna de l’esquerra hi ha una llista de plantilles predissenyades per a solistes, grups i orquestra, dividides en categories segons l'estil musical. Si prèviament heu emmagatzemat qualsevol plantilla personalitzada a la vostra carpeta "plantilles" , es mostraran a l’encapçalament "Plantilles personalitzades". També podeu utilitzar la barra de cerca situada a la part superior per trobar plantilles específiques més fàcilment.

Per escollir una plantilla de partitura:

• Clica al nom de la plantilla per seleccionar-la i després a Següent >. També ho pots fer fent dobleclic al nom de la plantilla. Això et portarà a la finestra següent de l'assistent. (Mira Escollir armadura i tempo, tot seguit).

• Si vols crear una partitura des de zero fes clic a "Trieu Instruments" (a l'apartat "General") i a Següent >. També ho pots fer fent dobleclic a "Trieu Instruments."

Choose instruments (or voice parts)

The Choose Instruments window is divided into two columns:

• The left column contains a list of instruments, or voice parts to choose from. This list is categorized into instrument families, and clicking a category shows the full list of instruments in each family.

  The default entry is "Common instruments" but you can choose from others, including "Jazz instruments" and "Early music". There is a search box at the bottom of the instrument window: typing the name of an instrument there will search for it in "All instruments".

• The right column starts off empty, but will eventually contain a list of instruments for your new score in the order that they will appear.

Add instruments

To add instruments to the score, use any of the following options:

• Select one or more instruments in the left column and click Add.
• Double-click an instrument in the left column.

The instrument names, and their associated staff lines, now appear in the list of instruments in the right column. You can add more instruments or voice parts, as needed. Each instrument added in this way is allocated its own Mixer channel.

Note: If you want staves to share the same instrument, use the Add staff or Add linked staff commands instead (see below).

Add Staff / Add Linked Staff

To add a staff to an existing instrument in the score:

1. Select a staff in the score list on the right-hand side (e.g. see "Staff 1" in the image below). Click Add Staff or Add Linked Staff.
2. Adjust the Staff type, if applicable.

Summary of commands:

Command	Staff added	Edit staves independently?	Share mixer channel?	Examples
Add Staff	Unlinked	Yes	Yes	Guitar staff/tab, Piano grand staff
Add Linked Staff	Linked	No. Edit in one staff updates others	Yes	Guitar staff/tab

Change order of instruments

To change the order of instruments (or staves) in the score:

• Click either an instrument name or a staff, in the right-hand column, and use the arrow buttons to move it higher/lower.

Delete an instrument

To delete an instrument, or staff line, from the score

• Select an instrument, or a staff line, in the right-hand column, and click Remove.

Choose key signature and tempo

Step 3: Choose key signature and tempo.

The wizard asks for two things: The initial key signature and tempo of the score. Select any of the former and click Next > to continue. An initial tempo can be set here too.

Choose time signature, pickup measure, and number of measures

Step 4: Choose time signature etc.

You can set your initial time signature here. If the score starts with a pickup measure (also known as an anacrusis or upbeat measure), then mark the Pickup measure checkbox and adjust the "Duration" accordingly.

Measures is set to 32 by default: you can change the number here, or add/remove measures later from the score.

Click Finish to create your new score.

Adjustments to score after creation

Any settings you make in the New Score Wizard can always be changed when you start work on the score itself:

Add / delete / adjust measures

• Insert measures.
• Append measures.
• Delete measures.
• Create a pickup measure.

Add/edit text

• Add text (Text basics).
• Edit text.

Change instrument set-up

To add, delete, or change the order of instruments:

• From the menu, select Edit→Instruments...; or use the keyboard shortcut, I. This opens the Instruments dialog which is virtually identical to the Choose Instruments dialog in the New Score Wizard (see above).

See also Change instrument (Staff properties).

Hide a staff

• To hide a staff permanently: Open the Instruments dialog (I) and untick the "Visible" box for that staff.
• To hide a staff under certain conditions: See the "Hide" options in the Score dialog, and Staff Properties.

Adjust layout and formatting

To adjust the distance between staves and systems, set page margins etc., see Layout and formatting.

Templates

A Template is simply a standard MuseScore file that has been stored in one of two "templates" folders: any files in these folders are automatically displayed on the "Choose template file" page of the New Score Wizard. Two templates folders are created by default:

• A system templates folder.
• A user templates folder.

System templates folder

This folder contains the templates installed with MuseScore and should not be modified. It can be found in the following locations:

Windows: Usually at C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\templates.

Linux: Under /usr/share/mscore-xxx if you installed from the package manager. If you compiled MuseScore on Linux yourself, then look under /usr/local/share/mscore-xxx (with xxx being the version you are using).

MacOS: Under /Applications/MuseScore 3.app/Contents/Resources/templates.

User templates folder

Any templates that you create for future use should be stored here. Once in the user "templates" folder, they will automatically appear on the "Choose template file" page of the New Score Wizard—under the heading "Custom Templates".

The default location of the user templates folder is as follows:

Windows: %HOMEPATH%\Documents\MuseScore3\Templates.

MacOS and Linux: ~/Documents/MuseScore3/Templates.

To configure the location of your private templates folder:

• From the menu, select Edit→Preferences...→General.
