The links below are for our new Muse Hub installer application, which can be used to install and update MuseScore and download / install our new orchestral plugin Muse Sounds. See the bottom of this post for more information and help with Muse Hub installation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To install MuseScore 4 and Muse Sounds: 1. Visit https://musescore.org/en/download 2. Click the main Download button for your operating system. Linux users need to click the "Download AppImage" button to install MuseScore, and also the text link "Muse Hub (for Muse Sounds)" directly below in order to get Muse Sounds. --------------------------------------------------------------------- For those wanting to download a Windows or Mac version of MS4 without the Muse Hub, please use the appropriate text links at https:// musescore.org/en/download. --------------------------------------------------------------------- YouTube video: Announcing MuseScore 4 - a gigantic overhaul!

See https://musescore.org/en/node/ 334701 for a listing of them. Reply David Copperfield * Dec 14, 2022 - 15:04 Congrats! When can we have the function that make the announcement translatable? Reply t_clock * Dec 14, 2022 - 16:32 this is so cool the horizontal spacing changes make musescore look so professional! Reply BrunoCatt * Dec 14, 2022 - 16:51 I have been trying the nightly builds now and then, so now I wonder if I can install MS4 and still keep MS3 functioning? Reply jeetee * Dec 14, 2022 - 16:53 In reply to I have been trying the... by BrunoCatt They install side by side. File associations for MuseScore files can only be with one of them though (so double clicking a file will always open that musescore version). Take note that once you overwrite a file with a newer major version (MS4, Save As + overwrite the same file) it can no longer be opened with an older version (in casu MS3) Reply BrunoCatt * Dec 14, 2022 - 18:21 In reply to They install side by side... by jeetee Thanks a lot! I came to a halt anyway as Muse Hub says it can't connect to the Internet... Reply durandpiano * Dec 14, 2022 - 17:16 This is amazing!!! Thank you MuseScore team! Reply Jack Long * Dec 14, 2022 - 18:02 I am incredibly thrilled that MuseScore 4 has been officially released! I've been following development of it everyday since October 2021 so it's nice to see it finally come out now. Anyways, I just downloaded the new Muse Hub and I keep having this issue... which I find weird since it always worked previously (I have had it installed since the Beta), I've also tried re-installing it to no avail. All of the sections don't work, plus it keeps throwing me an error that "Muse Hub helper service is not running" and when I click on Connect, nothing happens. Is anybody else getting this too?

I wonder if the server is too stressed. I had the beta installed previously, and Muse Hub was stuck trying to update the choir samples.

Tried restarting, uninstalling, still nothing. Reply md4peace * Dec 14, 2022 - 19:03 In reply to I am incredibly thrilled... by Jack Long After downloading Muse Hub, I try opening it, got a window that spun for a while seemed to be installing components. Now nothing happens when I try to open Muse Hub and I don't see any MuseScore 4 added to my apps Reply Jack Long * Dec 14, 2022 - 19:57 In reply to I am incredibly thrilled... by Jack Long Alright, it seems fixed now! Reply engiger1 * Dec 14, 2022 - 20:19 In reply to Alright, it seems fixed now! by Jack Long Can confirm, works fine now. Reply paddlingdoc * Dec 14, 2022 - 22:10 Have installed and it opens fine but I can't see my MuseScore 3 files even when I navigate to the correct directory. Anyone else having that problem?
