Packages

See Code Structure on Wiki

Building

Read the developer handbook for a complete build walkthrough and a list of dependencies.

Getting sources

If using git to download repo of entire code history, type:

git clone https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore.git
cd MuseScore

Otherwise, you can just download the latest source release tarball from the Releases page, and then from your download directory type:

tar xzf MuseScore-x.x.x.tar.gz
cd MuseScore-x.x.x

Release Build

To compile MuseScore for release, type:

cmake -P build.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

If something goes wrong, append the word "clean" to the above command to delete the build subdirectory:

cmake -P build.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release clean

Then try running the first command again.

Running

To start MuseScore, type:

cmake -P build.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release run

Or run the compiled executable directly.

Debug Build

A debug version can be built and run by replacing -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug in the above commands.

If you omit the -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE option entirely then RelWithDebInfo is used by default, as it provides a useful compromise between Release and Debug.

Testing

See mtest/README.md or the developer handbook for instructions on how to run the test suite.

The new script testing facility is also available to create your own automated tests. Please try it out!

Code Formatting

Run ./hooks/install.sh to install a pre-commit hook that will format your staged files. Requires that you install uncrustify.

If you have problems, please report them. To uninstall, run ./hooks/uninstall.sh.
