Click Track Creation
I have completed a song, which I now wish to share with some of my musical friends so they can learn it, and we can all record ourselves and compile a video of it for our church's livestream service. I would like to provide everyone with a clicktrack, but I do not know how to do this. Even with the metronome turned on while exporting the mp3 file, it did not export with the metronome clicks. Does MuseScore have a function for creating clicktracks, and, if not, is there another way I can make one?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'd add a woodblock instrument to your score, notate a single measure in the "click" rhythm you want select it and press and hold R to replicate it throughout the score. Then possibly hide it.

That's a good idea! Thanks, I'll try it.

As the wooden blocks have to sounds, I was able to use one for the downbeat and the other for the rest of the beats. It worked perfectly.
Hi,
I'm trying to do something similar - add a woodblock for a click to go along with a simple melody line.
What I'd like to do is add the click to the same staff that the melody is on and make it invisible.
Is that possible?
Thanks,
DS

One staff can only have on sound font, so I'm afraid that isn't possible. What I do is create a copy of my piece and add the wood blocks, leaving them there.

Ah - thanks, won't work for this particular thing, but maybe somewhere else.

No need to put it on the same staff, or to copy the score. Just add a new instrument, fill it with the desired sound, and make the instrument invisible, in Edit / Instruments.

I'll try it, sounds like it should work, thanks :-)

Of course; I just made a copy since I was adding measures to make a pause before the score starts for the click track. My biggest complaint with click tracks is that they never give you enough time to get ready once you start it, so I gave my quartet the whole of six seconds and then some to pick up their instruments. I also added two measures pickup for the click track before the song started.
