Sibelius and Finale are the two leaders in this kind of software but they're both >$600 for full packages.

He uses Sibelius and does a quick demo in the movie of how it works for him.

So, if you're interested, check out any of the numerous youtube videos, or just download it - it's completely free, runs on Mac, Windows and linux.īTW, I just watched Bela Fleck's 'How to Write a Banjo Concerto' on amazon, and really enjoyed it. It can also import, but not export, GuitarPro files. I imported a banjo chart from MuseScore as MusicXML and imported into Finale, and was amazed to see that it looked perfect, both the standard notation and the tab.

MuseScore can export pdf charts, of course, and also a number of other formats, of which MusicXML is probably most important.

It took me about an hour to learn it (starting having never used MuseScore) and now it's quite quick. It's already all set up for banjo, and most any other instrument you can think of. Although that tutorial shows a full score, adding a tab part for one instrument, it's quite easy to simply make a tab-only chart. Rather than describe the whole experience, it might be easiest to check out this tutorial, or one of the many others. I can't compare, since I haven't used TablEdit, but I find MuseScore very easy and flexible. So, it might come down to simply which one is easier for you to use and/or produces nicer tab.

To answer from a 'banjo player's perspective', though, they might not be that different (unless you plan on scoring for banjo and oboe or something). So, to answer the original question, the difference from a 'musician's perspective' is that they're very different packages, with MuseScore being much, much richer and more complete. As of the version 2 (it's currently on 2.3), it also has really nice, easy to use tablature capabilities. It has all the special stuff you might need for piano, or bagpipes, or harpsichord, or whatever. You could write a symphony in any of them, enter all the parts (different instruments in different keys), print out each part and a conductor's score, etc. Like those packages, it's capable of multiple instruments, pretty much any kind of full music notation, typesetting, etc. Unlike those expensive packages, MuseScore is free and open source. MuseScore is a full music notation system, similar to Finale or Sibelius. It would be pretty much disastrous if you couldn't rely on already-entered stem directions staying where you put them as you edit that third voice.I don't know TablEdit, except as a user of TefView, so please excuse and correct any misunderstandings I may have regarding it, but. In piano or guitar music, that third voice is as likely to be an inner moving line, for example, and it might only be used for only certain means, and only a part of the measure at that. But that's the only, or even the most common, use of three voices. I guess you are thinking of scenario where there are three voices throughout the pieceand you wish to enter them in top-down order - an SSATB arrangement on two staves, say. But I doubt most people would appreciate having their carefully-entered downstem notes in voice 2 suddenly flipping on them just because they decided to add a third voice. They are only writing two voices, why should they need voice 3?Īnd also, yes, it would be possible to have entering voice 3 change the meaning of voice 2, so that voice 2 starts out down as expected but then suddenly goes flips up upon entering voice 3. Yes, it would be possible for a program to force people to always use voices 1 & 3 instead of 1 & 2, but most people would find that extremely confusing. Hence my observation - the vast majority of music uses no more than two voices, and when there are two voices, it is virtually always up & down, so the first two voices used absolutely positively need to be up and down. If you have three voices on a single staff, something it's two up, one down, sometimes one up and two down, but I've literally never seen two up and none down.
