Vocal Music in MuseScore
Vocal music often requires the use of more features of notation software than instrumental music does. In this series of examples we represent a broad selection of samples involving features that are surpass those described in beginners' lessons.
Early Vocal Music
Example 1: Chant "Ubi caritas"
Tools you need:
- Method 1: Choose an instrument (here use "voice," which may or may not automatically add the optional vocal tenor clef on the clef) OR
- Method 2: If not, use “clefs” from the palettes. (click the original clef then double click the treble clef)
User comments:
- I prefer using ¼ for the time signature for the sake of spacing.
- The time signature, stems, and the bar lines can be made invisible by selecting all -> staff/part properties -> advanced style properties.
- Review items: Slurs and texts from the “Octaves, Slurs, Fingerings, and Text”
Example 2: Two-Voice Organum "Kyrie, Cunctipotens genitor"
- New feature: Spacing (Press Enter)
- Review features: Notes, Lyrics; Chant (Hint: Staff/Part Properties)
