Single Line - to Create Rhythym Only

• Apr 29, 2025 - 22:38

Help. Who can give me step by step guidance on how to create a SINGLE LINE so that I can write rhythym only. I think I have tried everything but obviously not since I cannot seem to get the single line created. Thanks! Sharon

Thank you Scorster for sending this tutorial. It seems that when I am typing the page 'defaults' often, to something I do not want. The good news is that I was able to see that I have to be on the last note to add a double line ( part of my assignment). I will keep practicing with this and hope it gets easier. I may return with more questions after my next class. Thanks for your reply! Helpful people in the universe. How fun. Have a great day.

Create a new score, don't use a template, but select the instruments you want on your score. There select "Claves" or "Bongos". And you a one-line score.

ParkingB - my hero. Claves worked. Appreciate you more than I can say. I have spent HOURS on this so far. Next question if you have a minute. I need to create 10 motifs with various rhythyms. I added a couple of notes and MuseScore does not seem to let me edit too much. How to add various notes??? I usually can figure this stuff out... Oh Dear. thank you! Sharon

Thank you parking b. The Hutch tutorial was helpful. When I use Muse Score it seems that it does not respond to my key hitting. I try to add a note to a staff or line and it adds chord notes, or rests or ... A mind of its own. And, it seems to not let me go back and edit. Last night I wa able to create a new page. I missed adding Title and then I could not get back to the title section. The tutorial shows it is easy to use. This is not my experience. The good news - I started another page. I was able to add a title, composer name and per my Music Theory teachers instruction - created 10 rhythm motifs. They are not great but the assignment is done for now. Thanks for being a helpful person out in the world! The Hutch was a great tutorial. Thanks for your kind and helpful replies. Have a great day!
