This page shows old instructions for MuseScore 3.
For MuseScore 4 users, see Share scores online.

    Musescore.com allows you to:

    • View and listen to scores from a large repository created by the MuseScore community.
    • Download any score in a variety of formats—MuseScore, MusicXML, PDF, MIDI, MP3.
    • Upload your own scores: control whether to share them publicly or privately (via a secret link).
    • Synchronize your score with a YouTube video ("Videoscores").

    Note: A MuseScore Pro account is required for all scores not marked as PD (Public Domain) or "Original" work, the latter must also have the approval of the score owner.

    Create an account

    1. Visit MuseScore.com and click on "Create new account". Pick a username and enter a valid email and press "Create New Account".
    2. Wait a few minutes for an email from MuseScore.com support. If no email arrives, check your spam folder.

    5. If you are using a different SoundFont than the default one and if you are able to export MP3 files (may not be the case on some Linux versions), a checkbox Upload score audio will be visible:

      If the checkbox is checked, MuseScore will render the audio of the score using the current synthesizer settings and upload the audio to MuseScore.com.

    6. Now you'll be able to enter your score information.

      Enter the score information

    You can also upload a score on MuseScore.com directly:

    1. Click the Upload link on MuseScore.com.
    2. You have the same options as with the Save Online menu, except for uploading score audio.

    Edit a score on MuseScore.com

    If you want to make changes to one of your scores on MuseScore.com, edit the MuseScore file on your own computer, save it, and then do the following:

    • If you originally shared the score directly from within MuseScore, simply go to FileSave Online... again to update the online score.
    • If you originally uploaded the score via the Upload page on MuseScore.com, then you must follow these steps to update the online score:
      1. Go to the score page on MuseScore.com.
      2. Click the three dots menu on the right and choose "Update this score".
      3. In the form, you can upload a replacement score file as well as change the accompanying information and privacy settings.

    Switch to the direct method of updating an online score

    It is much more convenient to update online scores from directly within MuseScore than by updating the score manually from the score page. Follow these steps if you originally uploaded the score via the Upload page and now want to switch to the direct method:

    1. Go to the score page on MuseScore.com and copy the URL.
    2. Open the score file on your computer with MuseScore.
    3. From the menu, select FileScore Properties... and paste the URL into the "Source" field.

    Now whenever you want to update the online score simply go to FileSave Online....

    Note: The URL should be follow the format of https://musescore.com/XXXXXXXX/scores/XXXXXXXX and should not contain 'Nice Link's.
