Welcome to the Libre Music Challenge #30, for the month of May 2024.
The deadline for this month's challenge extends one extra day to the end of the weekend, Sunday 2nd June.
This is a friendly contest where we make music with free (libre) software exclusively. Everyone is welcome to join, at any skill level.
This is a place for learning and sharing knowledge, and an opportunity to explore creativity through limitation.
But most importantly, we just hope it inspires you to make some music!
The challenge for this month is to make a track using Musescore.
https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore
You can use any feature of Musescore. Regarding sounds, you are allowed to use the included MS Basic soundfont, but the new Muse Sounds are not allowed as they are non-free. Musescore also allows you to load other soundfonts, so you can also use any other free soundfont you like.
Musescore 4 is also supposed to load VST3 plugins, so any free plugin is also allowed. But unfortunately this feature seems currently disabled for Linux builds because of some issues.
Happy music making!
