WHERE IS THE KEYBOARD VIEW DURING SCORE PLAYBACK IN-APP?

• Dec 3, 2024 - 21:25

Okay so I'm glad this is a free trial because I would be pretty irritated at this point if I had paid for a subscription earlier just to realize that once I have the MuseScore app downloaded and installed I can't use one of the features that was on the website, that caught my interest in the first place and convinced me to pay.
Here's the issue:
When viewing a score on the musescore website, I can select to filter scores and only show "Interactive" scores...I'm not sure if that's what this is or not but essentially when I hit the play button (again, whilst viewing the score on the website), I can click this little keyboard icon towards the top of the score and it literally shows which keys/chords are being pressed as the score/song progresses through playback. How conveinent, right? Well...no, because I have searched for about 2 hours now both online through search engines and this forum and also through the app, AND I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO UTILIZE THE SAME FEATURE WITHIN THE ACTUAL MUSESCORE APP. Is this impossible?? To clarify I've included a screenshot of what I'm talking about; I just want to enable this feature within the app and cannot seem to find it ANYWHERE! I'm slightly discouraged and greatly irritated right now too because I am not the first person to ask this question on this forum and everytime I found another user had posted this question I was disappointed to also find that NO ONE'S PROVIDING THE ANSWER. lol This isn't Google Play Store so I didn't expect to be expected to pay for a service like MuseScore and not have features that inclined me to become a paying subscriber in the first place. Please, anyone, can I get some advice on this???

The virtual piano keyboard in Mu4 indeed does not show the notes during playback, this is a known regression vs. Mu3

Welcome aboard... to the forum here at musescore.org

The MuseScore app which you downloaded and installed requires neither any payment nor a subscription. It is provided free of charge. It is available to anyone and can be downloaded from musescore.org here:
https://musescore.org/en/download

Any features on the website that caught your interest are just that - features on the website - i.e., features at musescore.com. Those features can always be used by accessing the .com website.
On the other hand, the MuseScore 4 app (called MuseScore Studio), when downloaded and installed locally onto a computer, has a different set of features, none of which you have to pay for.

Regarding a paid subscription...
The "Pro" designation you see next to your name here:
https://musescore.com/user/92051767
...indicates that you are subscribed to musescore.com. This Pro subscription allows you to download copyrighted music like this:
https://musescore.com/user/189765/scores/5001569

Non-copyrighted works in the public domain, and some original compositions (where allowed by the composer), are available to download without purchasing a subscription.
For example, see:
https://musescore.com/classicman/scores/55352
...which is available to folk with a free account (as well as to those with a paid subscription).
