Musescore Examples: These exercises require basic knowledge of encoding. Each exercise includes a new tool or two! The MuseScore "Play" function is also recommended.


Vocal Music in MuseScore

Early Vocal Music in MuseScore

Example 1: Chant "Ubi caritas"


Tools you need:

  • Choosing an instrument (voice – which may or may not automatically add the optional vocal tenor clef on the clef)
  • If not, use “clefs” from the palettes. (click the original clef then double click the treble clef)
  • 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.


Example 2: Two-Voice Organum "Kyrie, Cunctipotens genitor"


  • New: Spacing (Press Enter)
  • Review: Notes, Lyrics
  • Review: Chant (Hint: Staff/Part Properties)
