Development
MuseScore is free and open-source, and thus, any developer is free to view, edit and submit code to the project. Werner Schweer, Nicolas Froment and Thomas Bonte are the full-time and lead developers of the project, with a wider community also contributing.
The development of MuseScore takes place on GitHub so as to host the code and manage the collaboration of developers. GitHub is based on Git, a revision control suite initially designed for Linux kernel development. Anyone can fork the code of the program, make modifications, and submit them for review. Unstable builds created during development are available for download to be tested by volunteers. Those in turn post the problems found in an issue tracker. Anyone can also submit requests for new features. A large amount of the discussions concerning the development takes place on the MuseScore forums.
MuseScore is written mainly in C++. It fully supports both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms, and the graphical user interface makes use of the cross-platform Qt toolkit.
