Want to sync youtube video with musescore sheet

• Sep 23, 2024 - 13:43

I think I have a perfect transcription of the song "Sparkle" by radwimps:
https://musescore.com/user/22073706/scores/20634229

Since its only an instrumental version, and musescore's instruments dont sound the best, I wanted to sync the score up with a youtube video and use said audio for the score instead of musescore's.
This is the video:

The start and stop time align perfectly (at least according to youtube's timings) so I don't think it'll be a huge hassle if its posible.

This .com function is called Audio Source and presently the only "source" option is youTube. I'm quite surprised we can't yet use Audio.com as a source!

The following score contains only melody, which I synced with a youTube performance.

I'll try to find the Source Audio "documentation page" and will post when I do ... but be advised, although the potential is huge and the results can be satisfying:

    • there are annoying glitches in adding measure markers
    • playback "cursor" occasionally falls out of sync, but weeks later everything is fine again
    • the playback "cursor" doesn't follow repeats and jumps in the score, which makes for a very misleading situation ... as seen in the video I posted which falls out of sync after the 1st ending.

The short "how to" answer is:

First uploaded your score to museScore.com, then
   • view your score on museScore.com
   • on the right side click the More (...) menu and choose Edit Audio Source
   • then you can choose the youTube video
   • then set measure markers and save

I don't recall clearly, but I think I figured it out purely by painful trial and error. There's no mention of the feature here in the sparse MuseScore.com documentation
