| The demo piece is a good example of what's possible with Musescore, but the best way to learn it is to use it, so start a fresh project. To begin an empty project, select **File** menu → **New**.

| If you want more control of the sounds that Musescore produces, you're free to pipe it through JACK. With JACK, of course, you gain the ability to assign any MIDI instrument to each MIDI channel, meaning you can use something like [[sampler|Linux Sampler]] to trigger soundfonts or samples. | If you want more control of the sounds that Musescore produces, you're free to pipe it through JACK.
