Update!

Hi Everyone –

MuseScore recently release version 3.0. In this class you will see me using Version 2.

You are welcome to use Version 3 – there is no significant changes to the look and feel of it, so you should be able to follow along just fine.

But there is a change to the price:

MuseScore, as a desktop application, is still free – so please use that. But if you search for MuseScore as a tablet application, you will find a rather expensive program. This is not the version I am using in this class. I am using the desktop application (for Mac, but the PC version is fine, too). You are welcome to use the tablet version, but please note it is not a free program.

That’s it! On to the class!
