MuseScore Studio is een krachtig, gratis en open-source softwarepakket voor muzieknotatie. Met de software kun je professionele partituren maken, bewerken, afspelen en exporteren. Het is cross-platform beschikbaar voor zowel Linux, macOS en Windows. Het is gebouwd met het Qt-framework. Het biedt een robuust, door de community gedreven alternatief voor dure, propriëtaire notatiesoftware. Het .org-project staat los van het commerciële .com-platform, waar tegen betaling bladmuziek kan worden verkregen. Enkele dagen geleden is versie 4.6.3 van MuseScore Studio uitgekomen en de changelog daarvan ziet er als volgt uit:
