Getting Started with writing down my score

• Dec 21, 2022 - 18:07

I have managed to create a score on Muse score 3, but the PC I did it on has a hardware failure on its speaker, so I am starting again on my iPad. I have downloaded MuseScore, paid for a year, and have found my old iD DocRichard, and have been looking for what feels like one hour for a page or place where I can start writing down my new music, with zero results. I absolutely cannot find where to start.

Somehow MuseScore needs to make itself a bit more beginner friendly.

Help! TIA

I am listening to the getting started video and it says On the Home Screen click New.

How do we get to the Home Screen? If I touch the MuseScore name on top left, I get Dashboard. Down the bottom, About etc, but no Home Screen.

The free MuseScore Notation software is not available for mobile devices.
It also doesn't care about any subscriptions you may or may not have on other services such as the score sharing platform musescore.com or disney+.

If you're in a pinch and need notation capabilities on the iPad, have a look at something like flat.io or StaffPad.

So is that it? I cannot do MuseScore notation on an iPad? I wish it had said so at the beginning.

It used to be explicitly mentioned at the start of the App description page; but it seem the .com team just lists what it can do now:
https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id835731296 doesn't mention editing a score anywhere.
