MuseScore Studio
MuseScore Studio is a free, open-source music notation app for creating, editing, playing back, and exporting sheet music on macOS.
What is MuseScore Studio?
MuseScore Studio is a music notation and scorewriting application published by MuseScore and distributed through musescore.org. It is available for macOS and is used to create, edit, format, and play back sheet music for solo instruments, ensembles, and larger scores. The app provides a graphical score editor, note entry tools, playback, and import or export support for common notation and audio-related workflows. MuseScore documentation identifies the product name MuseScore Studio and notes that the software was renamed from MuseScore starting with version 4.3. Many Mac users install it directly from the official website, and some also encounter it through Muse Hub when installing MuseSounds and related content. It is a legitimate end-user creative app rather than a background system component.
