What the installer does

Windows

  • Delivered as a Windows Installer package built with WiX (.msi) for x64.
  • Installs for all users on the PC, which normally requires administrator rights.
  • No custom silent switch is declared; winget falls back to its default for this installer type (/quiet /norestart).
  • Associates with the file types .mid, .mscx, .mscz, .musicxml, .mxml, and .xml.
  • Shows up in Windows “Installed apps” as “MuseScore Studio 4”.
  • Upgrades install over the existing version.

Mac

  • Delivered as a disk image (.dmg) for Apple silicon and Intel.
  • Installs the app MuseScore 4.app into the Applications folder.
  • The app updates itself, so it may be newer than the version Homebrew lists.
  • On uninstall, Homebrew asks the app to quit.
  • A full “zap” removal also deletes up to 5 support, cache and preference locations in your home folder.

MuseScore FAQ

Is MuseScore safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-04 we downloaded the latest 2 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 2 of 2 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 2 valid.

VirusTotal: none of its 58 security engines flagged any of the 2 scanned files.

Our rating: Safe. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: MuseScore’s official website.

Does MuseScore update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether MuseScore updates itself, and for Mac, the app is listed as updating itself, so an older build will likely offer, or simply install, the newest release when you open it. To keep an old version, look for an automatic-update setting in MuseScore (see MuseScore’s documentation) and turn it off before you rely on it.

Does MuseScore cost anything?

No. MuseScore is free and open source (license: GPL-3.0 License).

Which versions of MuseScore are listed here, and how far back?

For Windows, we list 28 versions, from 4.0.0.223472200 (2022-12-14) up to 4.7.6.261022093, and for Mac, only the current release (4.7.6.261022093) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing. This page shows the newest 20 Windows versions; the JSON and Markdown files for this app list all 28 Windows versions.

Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: MuseScore’s official website.
