Unfortunately, MuseScore’s handling of different font symbols can be a bit inconsistent, and it currently does not allow any other fonts to be used, or allow any customization of the the built-in font. MuseScore comes with a built-in font that contains the symbols for noteheads, stems, rests, etc. This lets you change the notehead group and type, stem settings, and other parameters. You can access the “Note Properties” menu by right-clicking on a note. You can add other symbols to the “Note Heads” palette from “Create” menu > “Symbols”. To change more than one note at a time use control-click or command-click (depending if you’re on mac or windows) to select multiple notes and then double-click the symbol you want in the “Note Heads” palette to change them all. quarter note (quaver) with hollow notehead), use the “Note Heads” palette and drag and drop any symbol from there to the notehead in your score that you want to change.

In the “Lines” box, choose the appropriate number. To change the number of lines in a staff, choose “Stave Properties” (right click anywhere on a staff). MuseScore does support plug-ins, so it might be possible to create a plug-in that provides more native and comprehensive support for chromatic-staff notation systems. Our thanks to Jan for providing his insights on this. MuseScore will be easier to use with alternative notation systems that more closely resemble traditional music notation. Below are some helpful tips from Jan on how he did this with MuseScore, even though it does not currently support chromatic-staff notation systems.īe aware that the process involves various workarounds and is not automated, convenient, or user-friendly. Jan Braunstein has used MuseScore to create and print sheet music for his Chromatic Lyre Notation.
