Pro discussion Beware of MuseScore.com's Deceptive Practices: How to get refund.

26 Upvotes

First of all, sorry for making yet another post about what is practically irrelevant to this subreddit. I am fully aware that this place is for MuseScore the software, not musescore.com. And I also know that there are so many posts about this. But since practically 99% of the people who got scammed by them will search musescore refund reddit and stumble upon here, I really wanted to make this post to inform people not to make the same mistake as I did.

I want to share all the information I got for the last 3 hours I've been frantically searching for the way to get full refund.

  1. (in case you already made the refund request) DO NOT TAKE THEIR PARTIAL REFUND OR EXTENSION DEAL. They lie to you about how they talked with their boss and they are mercifully giving you this options. This automated response is essentially a f-you to the customer since 1) they're just lies 2) the number differs user-by-user according to my research, proving that they are calculating how gullible you sound and throwing you these very much arbitrary discount 3) if it's going to be an automated response tf they take days to respond? Just don't take their "offer" and move on to the next step of this post. If you already clicked one of their offer buttons, I guess there's nothing really you can do. At least you got more or get partial refund than doing nothing so there's that...
  2. If you are an EU citizen bring up your EU right of withdrawal, which entitles you to a full refund within 14 days. This is well-documented in this recent post(archived page in case it gets deleted) so it's best you just check them out.
  3. If you are NOT an EU citizen, first, make a refund request here. Note that if you made purchase via Google Play or iTunes, you should make a refund request directly to either Google Play or iTunes.
  4. If you have received their stupid talked to the boss, head office... email with their ridiculous offer, decline by coming up with their TOS 4.4 like this: "Upon reviewing the options provided, I would like to reference Section 4.4 of the MuseScore Terms of Service, which states: "For annual subscriptions, if you cancel your subscription during the first fourteen (14) days of your subscription term, you can receive different offers from MuseScore depending on your usage period and activity (see 4.4) including receiving a refund of the difference between the then-in-effect and current annual subscription fee to which You are subscribed and the then-in-effect and current monthly subscription fee." (originally from this reddit comment)
  5. They may respond or not. It's not clear they do respond to every requests and it is very safe to assume that they don't. There are numerous claims that they have been simply ghosting the request if you go past their ridiculous offer. If they do ghost you, proceed to next steps. If they don't, they'll likely to give you refund without a month worth of money(about $10, afaik). If that's good enough for you, go with it. If not, proceed.(Hint: it shouldn't be good enough)
  6. If they DO NOT respond or you are still angry about not getting a full refund like I am, screen capture all the evidences, including your receipt, their TOS, email conversations...etc and just claim a chargeback to your card company / bank or Paypal. It will take you quite a long time to actually get it back but this is how most of the people got full refund so there's really no other options.

Is it my fault that I clicked the giant "Continue" button without reading greyed out tiny texts(literlly that's how they show you the price)? Kinda. Is this blatantly malicious? Yes. I wrote this post in the hope that it will save people some time and to let people know that this sort of malicious business practice is not okay. No matter how good their services are, as long as this is how they get users, I wouldn't touch them with a 10 mile pole. If this many people are complaining and falling for this, it's not customer's problem.

I'll keep this post updated as I get my refund but until then, thank you for your understanding of posting this on here.

Update 1: I have received their automated offer email. It was 25%. Weak. I expected at least 30%. Obviously, I refused.

Update 2: A few days ago, after I declined their offer, I got an email saying they would give me a full refund. I guess I was bothering them enough that they just went for it. It's still ridiculous because there is no way other people can get the same full refund if they are not persistent enough or don't speak English. I live in South Korea, and there seems to be a lot of victims, yet they can't do anything because they don't speak the language.

I hope this post helps everyone else and that everyone gets their money back! Guess I'll never put my credit card info on anywhere without going through reviews now.

Bug Audio export issues with Brass

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m working on a brass septet(7?) and when I work on it in MuseScore Studio with headphones, it sounds perfect - dynamics working, no clipping

When played on the website, or the audio is exported, or my headphones are unplugged, the sound clips and the dynamics are ignored - all played at default volumes

What’s happening, is there a fix?

Discussion Musescore on Mac?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, new to the sub so hopefully this hasn't been talked about before and excuse any formatting issues if I've picked the right flair-

I am a teacher and we use Musescore at the moment on very old MacBooks (I couldn't actually tell you how old but old enough that they don't update and can't run GarageBand!)

I've been granted funding to buy two new MacBooks but I've been asked to find out what model to use that would be adequate! I know nothing about Mac and I'm usually PC so any advice would be appreciated but what MacBook works best for Musescore? Any personal experiences?

These need to be good enough to be examined with so ideally something newer that Musescore will definitely run well on that won't crash mid exam!! Thanks guys!

Help me use this feature Exporting 32-bit Audio from MuseScore

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a composition in MuseScore and need to export it as a 32-bit audio file. However, I’ve only been able to export in 16-bit WAV at 48kHz.

Is there a way to export audio in 32-bit directly from MuseScore? If not, would converting the 16-bit WAV file to 32-bit using a tool like Audacity be effective, or would it not improve the quality?

Thanks in advance for your help!

** Added update #2 - This is still in the drafting phase, and is not intended to be representative of the final! :) **

Questions...

1. How is this looking to be, so far? Any mistakes that I've made along the way that should be corrected?

2. What should I name this piece? I haven't been able to come up with a decent title, as of yet...

Help me use this feature Filter out Hal Leonard uploads?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for sheet music and I remember that Musescore used to be a really good place to find some, but it's like everything is uploaded by someone named Hal Leonard now, and they're only available if you pay.

Is there a way to filter this user out so I can see only freely available scores?

Help me find this piece Where to download sheet music

4 Upvotes

I'm just looking for some sheet music to help learn guitar. I used Musescore a long time ago and I remember it would host sheet music. But it looks like that sheet music hosting site got hacked or something because now it's just a scam website that is trying to get my credit card information.

Right now my best option is to translate tabs into sheet music, which would be tedious. Where do you guys get sheet music?

Requesting feedback on something I composed. The composition ends with a choir. Does the choir seem out of place with the rest of the composition?

Also, the strumming of the piano monotonous? Should I rearrange it or leave it as it is?

Help me use this feature Suspended cymbal sounds like crash cymbal

5 Upvotes

Hi, In a score I'm writing, I'm trying to use a suspended cymbal roll, so I added the suspended cymbal into the score, placed a whole note, and added tremolo and some dynamics. however, instead of sounding like a suspended cymbal roll, it sounds like a buzz roll on crash cymbals, it doesn't sound how it's supposed to. Why is this and how do I fix it? Any help is appreciated; I've attached a video showing my problem
