Installation: - unpack source distribution tar xvofj mscore-x.x.x.tar.bz2 - make cd mscore-x.x.x make release if something goes wrong, then remove the whole build subdirectory with "make clean" and start new with "make release" - install as root user sudo make install User Documentation: Look at the handbook section at http://www.musescore.org Program Documentation: Type cd build make doxy to generate the program documentation with DoxyGen. Browse the documentation with your favourite html browser at: build/Doc/html/index.html Test: Type cd build/mscore mscore to start mscore. On first invocation a demofile (Marc Sabatella: Reunion) is shown. You probably want to change that in the "preferences" dialog. ================================================================= Help needed ================================================================= We need your help! http://musescore.org ================================================================= Contact ================================================================= Werner Schweer; info@musescore.org http://www.musescore.org/
