It supports unlimited staves with up to four voices each, dynamics, articulations, lyrics, chords, lead sheet notation,
import/export of MIDI and MusicXML, export to PDF and WAV, plus online score sharing.</p>
<p>MuseScore can upload scores directly to the score sharing site musescore.com. Program support is provided on musescore.org.</p>

<li>Up to four independent voices per staff</li>
<li>Score creation wizard and templates</li>

<p>Most elements in MuseScore are laid out automatically but can also be positioned manually. The capabilities of MuseScore
can be extended via plugins, and the growing repository on musescore.org contains many plugins submitted by users.</p>
<p>MuseScore includes a set of sounds that reproduce common instruments (as defined by General MIDI) without taking up
a lot of disk space or memory, but you can also substitute any SoundFont you prefer for a wider variety of sounds or for
more realism.</p>
<p>MuseScore can import and export MIDI and MusicXML files, and it can also import from Capella and several other programs.
MuseScore can export to PDF, PNG, and other graphic formats, to WAV and other audio formats, or to Lilypond for an alternative
layout and print option.</p>
