MUSX is a file extension that belongs to the proprietary file synchronization format developed by MakeMusic for their music notation software, Finale. These files contain notation, lyrics, and other musical information. MUSX files can be opened with various tools and approaches, which will be discussed in this article.
The primary application for opening and working with MUSX files is Finale. As the developer of the file format, Finale provides the best support and feature set for work with MUSX files. Finale users can open, edit, print, and play back the musical scores contained within MUSX files with an intuitive, user-friendly interface.
The MakeMusic Finale software also provides functionality to convert MUSX files to other formats. MUSX files can be exported as MIDI, PDF, MusicXML, WAV, MP3, and others. This broadens the options for applications and platforms that can use the musical information stored in MUSX files.
Though Finale is the principal application for dealing with MUSX files, additional software exists that can open and manipulate this file extension. Sibelius and MuseScore are two examples, though the compatibility is usually brought about by converting the MUSX file into a format these applications natively support.
Given that MUSX is a proprietary format developed by MakeMusic for Finale, it is primarily tied to this software. Therefore, to avoid any complications when sending MUSX files to others, it's beneficial to understand that the recipient would also need the appropriate software (Finale, in this case) to open, edit, or simply view the file contents. Converting MUSX files to more universally accepted formats like MIDI or PDF can be a safer choice when dealing with a diverse set of potential recipients.
