Community documentation

The MuseScore Community maintains collaboratively written handbooks and a collection of help pages. Any logged in user can edit and improve the pages of the handbook. If you see a mistake or something missing in the handbook, don't hesitate to fix it or extend it—click the ⠇ to the right of the title, choose "Edit", and improve the page. Discuss with others in the documentation forum. For more information about how to add pages etc., see the Administrative guidelines. To create a "How to" and Tutorials with screen capture, you can record a video, upload to YouTube and post a link, alternatively use the free LICEcap to generate and post GIF. Handbooks are written in English and translated into other languages, help us with translations.

• Extensive per-platform instructions about building the 3.x branch, which may also help you in case of trouble building the master branch
• A suggested Git Workflow
• Information about Google Summer of Code
• Tips about IDE configuration

Developers of plugins use the plugin section in developers' handbook.

Developers of MuseScore 3.x compatible soundfonts use the soundfont section in developers' handbook.
