While our PRO, PRO+ and Premium subscriptions grant you access to a wide range of sheet music for personal study, practice, and educational purposes, it’s important to note that performance rights are not included with your subscription.

Performance rights refer to the legal permission to publicly perform a piece of music. This includes concerts, recitals, or any other public presentation, whether live, recorded, or broadcasted. Public performances require specific licenses to ensure that composers and rights holders are fairly compensated.

Your MuseScore PRO, PRO+, or Premium subscription grants access to the sheet music for:

• Personal practice

• Educational use (in non-commercial settings)

• Rehearsals

However, public performances, such as concerts or other events where an audience is present, fall outside the scope of MuseScore subscriptions and require additional licensing.

To perform any piece of music in public, you will need to obtain the necessary performance rights. These can be acquired through a performance rights organization (PRO) such as ASCAP, BMI, or PRS. These organizations help manage the licensing for public performances on behalf of composers and rights holders.

We encourage you to verify the specific performance rights requirements for your event to ensure full compliance with copyright laws.
