00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,266
To create a score in MuseScore 4,

2
00:00:05,266 --> 00:00:07,404
you can select "File—new"

3
00:00:07,404 --> 00:00:10,302
or you can select this "Add" button 
in the score section.

4
00:00:10,302 --> 00:00:13,287
Doing this brings up a list of instruments 
that you can add to your score

5
00:00:13,287 --> 00:00:16,197
by double-clicking on them,
or pressing this button.

6
00:00:16,197 --> 00:00:17,874
To quickly search for instruments

7
00:00:17,874 --> 00:00:20,634
you can enter their name 
in this search section too.

8
00:00:20,634 --> 00:00:24,240
In some cases, there will be alternate 
versions of the same instrument.

9
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:28,880
For example, you can add a guitar 
that uses tablature or standard notation.

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,680
You can also select the 
"Create from template" tab

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,921
to start your score from a 
range of prepared templates.

12
00:00:34,921 --> 00:00:37,076
So once you've chosen
your instrumentation,

13
00:00:37,076 --> 00:00:40,950
you can press "Done" to begin 
notating your music right away.

14
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:44,903
However, you can also press "Next" 
if you want to specify more information,

15
00:00:44,903 --> 00:00:50,513
like the key signature, time signature, 
tempo and number of measures.

16
00:00:50,513 --> 00:00:52,065
Once your score is created,

17
00:00:52,065 --> 00:00:55,437
you can make additional changes 
using our new "Instruments" panel.

18
00:00:55,437 --> 00:00:58,640
For example, you could add 
a third stave to a piano.

19
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,421
In the case of guitar, if you'd like to 
create a linked tablature stave,

20
00:01:02,421 --> 00:01:05,561
you can do this by expanding the 
instrument to see its properties,

21
00:01:05,561 --> 00:01:10,184
then clicking on this settings icon and 
then choosing "Create a linked staff".

22
00:01:10,184 --> 00:01:14,237
Once that is created, you can then 
choose "Tablature" from this drop-down.

23
00:01:14,237 --> 00:01:18,082
In this way, notation you enter 
on one staff will appear on the other.

24
00:01:18,590 --> 00:01:21,840
