The final audio mixing of instruments has not yet been attempted. Our aim is to get the default playback to the same level as MuseScore 3 before creating the 'public' alpha release. There will still be some playback issues, where certain articulations or playback techniques do not sound right. The default playback may still have some sound mapping issues, where instruments are using incorrect sounds. A new 'Home' tab which will include multiple tutorials and onboarding videos for MS4 A new UI with an entirely new icon set, in case you didn't notice! Improved screen reader support ( we would greatly appreciate it if people would test this and provide feedback on it) A new keyboard navigation system that follows best practices to allow users to quickly move around the interface There is a new Mixer that can quickly be toggled on & off Parts are easier to discover, edit and alter (using the new 'Instruments' panel)

The capabilities of the note input bar have been expanded and the toolbar itself is now much easier to customise The Properties panel (formerly the inspector) is now much more responsive and filled with lots of useful options

Make sure to download the versions under Musescore v4.x (master) Your best bet is to instead grab the latest nightly build found here: For this reason, we no longer encourage you to test this alpha version. EDIT: Since we made this announcement, we have made very significant improvements to MuseScore 4.
