Museic is an open-source, entirely free platform designed as an alternative to musescore.com. The project allows users to upload, share, download, preview, and play MuseScore music sheets without ads, paywalls, or restrictive limits. Museic aims to foster a community dedicated to the free and open sharing of musical scores, enabling music accessibility regardless of financial means.
Music should be freely accessible to everyone. Museic is built on this foundational belief, empowering musicians worldwide by providing unrestricted access to shared musical knowledge.
While MuseScore Studio (musescore.org) remains open-source and free, the corresponding online community (musescore.com) has become heavily restricted through advertisements and paid subscriptions. Museic seeks to revive the original spirit of freely sharing and accessing MuseScore files, offering a community-driven, accessible alternative.
