What’s new
Version 5.5 · Updated September 24, 2026
Mixer Update! This update includes a mixer to balance your parts, play-from-here and looping, setlist sharing, drag-and-drop import, and a rebuilt audio engine. New: - Practice Mixer. Balance a score while you play. The mixer button beside the metronome opens per-instrument faders, pan, mute, solo, and live level meters, as a bottom sheet on iPhone and a full-width console on iPad. Your mix is remembered per score and never changes the file. - Play or loop any passage. In View mode, touch and hold a measure and choose Play from here, or keep holding and drag across measures to loop them. Loops repeat without a gap, and mixer changes land on the next pass. - Send an entire setlist as PDF, MuseScore, or MusicXML. - Rename and delete setlists directly from the setlist row or overflow menu, and find them through library search. - Drag scores in. Drop scores from Files or another app onto your library to import them. - Change instruments. Tap an instrument name to swap it for the whole score, or from any measure onward. - Flip stems. Flip the stem on any note or chord straight from the selection menu. Improved - Now in sync with MuseScore Studio 4.7.5. Aria uses the same engine, so your scores look the same here as on your computer and save in MuseScore 4.7 format. This also brings additional instruments, chord diagrams, and various other improvements. - Improved MusicXML import and export for images, hidden notation, barlines, and chord diagrams. - Combined setlist PDFs now include a table of contents, so you can jump straight to any score. Fixed - Fixed an issue where certain markings were out of sync between the full score and its parts. - Scores saved in MuseScore's continuous view now open as pages instead of one very wide strip. - Horizontal frames can now be selected and deleted. - Fixed a bug where Score Setup showed default details instead of your latest edits. - Guitar tablature from older MuseScore files now aligns correctly. - Images placed in score headers now render correctly. - Approaching the score with Apple Pencil now immediately enters note-entry mode. - Selecting a measure now enters selection mode instead of note-entry mode.
