Free version of MuseScore
I have students who cannot download MuseScore for free from MuseScore.org
I have had it for free for years and I do not get charged for it. One of them says that the redirect always goes back to the Muse.hub page and cannot download without giving up credit card info - always goes to the App store.
Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks-

Are you sure that the students are going to musescore.org and not to musescore.com?
The download page for the free MuseScore desktop notation program is here on .org:
https://musescore.org/en/download
MuseScore is indeed free. Even with the Hub. From the download page, it is possible to download MU4 without the Hub. You only need the hub for the new sounds, which are also free. You can also download older versions of MuseScore.
Everything on musescore.org is free
It may redirect to the (non free) webstore when using Android or iOS
So my student today is trying to download to a Mac. I also mentioned MuseScore.org as opposed to MuseScore.com and he said it always takes him to the app store through the .org and always says its a 7day trial and asks for credit card info. Maybe the redirect in MuseScore.org is incorrect? I have tried directing him via phone to help out but he always ends up in the same place. It's a mystery.

Are you sure it is a mac and not an iPad or something similar ?

If I go to https://musescore.org/en/download and press the "Download for Mac" button, it downloads Muse_Hub.dmg
You could also download MuseScore without Muse Hub
