In MuseScore 4, you can save your scores privately to the cloud,
and publish them when they're complete.
All you need is a free musescore.com account to get started.
If you don’t already have an account, it’s easy to get one by clicking
“Create new account” from the accounts page.
This gives you access to over a million scores that you can view online,
or download and open in MuseScore for further editing.
Next, all you have to do is save your score,
and you’ll be offered the choice of storing it either in the cloud or on your computer.
We’ll select cloud storage for now, give our score a name, and hit "Save".
The first time we do this,
MuseScore will ask whether we also want to upload audio with the score.
Now this is really up to you.
Thanks to our brand new playback engine, VST support,
and the amazing new Muse Sounds library,
your scores can now be heard on musescore.com with beautiful, realistic playback.
If you’ve installed MuseSounds or are using a VST, then this is the audio you’ll get
when you publish your score for the world to see.
However, if you’re just saving privately to the cloud,
you might choose to keep only the basic playback on the website,
which can speed up the time it takes MuseScore to save and upload your file.
We’ll leave this option set to “never” for now, but we can always change it at any time,
by opening Preferences, and going over here to the “Cloud” section.
Now that we’ve saved our score, you can easily view it online by clicking this button,
where you’ll see that your file is in your score manager with private visibility,
meaning no one else can see it.
Any changes you save will be here for you – and only you – to see.
Once you’ve finished working on your score, you can make it public
for other users to listen to, comment on, like, share and download.
In MuseScore, just click on the "Publish" tab, and choose “Publish to musescore.com”.
You can also find this option in the "File" menu.
Once your score is public, any changes you save will be visible to the world.
Saving scores to the cloud is a crucial first step, that will pave the way
for other score sharing and collaboration features that we’d like to develop for future releases.
