Barbershop arranging in Musescore
I am new to MuseScore and want to create Barbershop arrangements. I've read about Barbershop set up, Barbershop Harmonizer and Baarbershop checker tools, but the articles are quite old and the instructions for downloading and installing seem to refer to a much earlier version. Are these tools still available/working in the current version of MS, and if so how do I access them? Many thanks

https://musescore.org/en/project/barbershop-checker and https://musescore.org/en/project/barbershop-harmonizer are for MuseScore 3, but it might be possible to port them to MuseScore 4
Not sure what you mean by Barbershop set up, there are two templates for this (foe men and wonem), is that what you mean?

Yes, sorry Jojo, a bad description on my part. I read about the templates and tried to follow the instructions in Musescore 4, but when I choose the Choral 'family' in the new score 'Choose instruments' dialogue box there is no option for Barbershop as this article suggests there should be. https://musescore.org/en/node/294874 I'm guessing the article refers to MuseScore 3, but wonder if it can still be achieved in 4 somehow

Also, are you able to help with how I might port Barbershop harmonizer to MuseScore 4. I've downloaded the files from the pages you referenced but can't see how to get MuseScore 4 to open them.

It is a 'dock' type plugin, those won't work in Mu4 :-(

Grateful for you spending time on this for me, How do I get it into MuseScore? I've downloaded it but my computer just asks what software I want to use to open it. I assume there is an install programme that needs be run?

Just install it like all other plugins, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/plugins
And take this one here, small change vs. the 1st version

It is still there, not under Chose Instruments, but under Choose templates
