Choose instruments (or voice parts)
The Choose Instruments window is divided into two columns:
-
The left column contains a list of instruments, or voice parts to choose from. This list is categorized into instrument families, and clicking a category shows the full list of instruments in each family.
The default entry is "Common instruments" but you can choose from others, including "Jazz instruments" and "Early music". There is a search box at the bottom of the instrument window: typing the name of an instrument there will search for it in "All instruments".
-
The right column starts off empty, but will eventually contain a list of instruments for your new score in the order that they will appear.
Add instruments
To add instruments to the score, use any of the following options:
- Select one or more instruments in the left column and click Add.
- Double-click an instrument in the left column.
The instrument names, and their associated staff lines, now appear in the list of instruments in the right column. You can add more instruments or voice parts, as needed. Each instrument added in this way is allocated its own Mixer channel.
Note: If you want staves to share the same instrument, use the Add staff or Add linked staff commands instead (see below).
Add Staff / Add Linked Staff
To add a staff to an existing instrument in the score:
- Select a staff in the score list on the right-hand side (e.g. see "Staff 1" in the image below). Click Add Staff or Add Linked Staff.
- Adjust the Staff type, if applicable.
Summary of commands:
| Command | Staff added | Edit staves independently? | Share mixer channel? | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Add Staff | Unlinked | Yes | Yes | Guitar staff/tab, Piano grand staff |
| Add Linked Staff | Linked | No. Edit in one staff updates others | Yes | Guitar staff/tab |

Change order of instruments
To change the order of instruments (or staves) in the score:
- Click either an instrument name or a staff, in the right-hand column, and use the arrow buttons to move it higher/lower.
Delete an instrument
To delete an instrument, or staff line, from the score
- Select an instrument, or a staff line, in the right-hand column, and click Remove.
Choose key signature and tempo
Step 3: Choose key signature and tempo.
The wizard asks for two things: The initial key signature and tempo of the score. Select any of the former and click Next > to continue. An initial tempo can be set here too.
Choose time signature, pickup measure, and number of measures
Step 4: Choose time signature etc.
You can set your initial time signature here. If the score starts with a pickup measure (also known as an anacrusis or upbeat measure), then mark the Pickup measure checkbox and adjust the "Duration" accordingly.
Measures is set to 32 by default: you can change the number here, or add/remove measures later from the score.
Click Finish to create your new score.
Adjustments to score after creation
Any settings you make in the New Score Wizard can always be changed when you start work on the score itself:
Add / delete / adjust measures
Add/edit text
Change instrument set-up
To add, delete, or change the order of instruments:
- From the menu, select Edit→Instruments...; or use the keyboard shortcut, I. This opens the Instruments dialog which is virtually identical to the Choose Instruments dialog in the New Score Wizard (see above).
See also Change instrument (Staff properties).
Hide a staff
- To hide a staff permanently: Open the Instruments dialog (I) and untick the "Visible" box for that staff.
- To hide a staff under certain conditions: See the "Hide" options in the Score dialog, and Staff Properties.
Adjust layout and formatting
To adjust the distance between staves and systems, set page margins etc., see Layout and formatting.
Templates
A Template is simply a standard MuseScore file that has been stored in one of two "templates" folders: any files in these folders are automatically displayed on the "Choose template file" page of the New Score Wizard. Two templates folders are created by default:
System templates folder
This folder contains the templates installed with MuseScore and should not be modified. It can be found in the following locations:
Windows: Usually at C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\templates.
Linux: Under /usr/share/mscore-xxx if you installed from the package manager. If you compiled MuseScore on Linux yourself, then look under /usr/local/share/mscore-xxx (with xxx being the version you are using).
MacOS: Under /Applications/MuseScore 3.app/Contents/Resources/templates.
User templates folder
Any templates that you create for future use should be stored here. Once in the user "templates" folder, they will automatically appear on the "Choose template file" page of the New Score Wizard—under the heading "Custom Templates".
The default location of the user templates folder is as follows:
Windows: %HOMEPATH%\Documents\MuseScore3\Templates.
MacOS and Linux: ~/Documents/MuseScore3/Templates.
To configure the location of your private templates folder:
- From the menu, select Edit→Preferences...→General.
