Early Vocal Music in MuseScore

Example 1: Chant "Ubi caritas"

SVG Ubi Caritas-1.svg


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)
Clef.png
  • 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.
