MUS file format is a music notation format used by Finale software and several other applications developed by MakeMusic. The file contains only musical notation data without actual audio data. MUS file format was replaced by MUSX format starting with Finale version 2014.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the MUS file after converting to MUSX may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from MUS to MUSX to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting MUS to MUSX does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in MUS format, properly converted to a MUSX file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file MUS the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of MUS file to other than MUSX. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your MUS file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to MUSX on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the MUS file in its original format (without conversion to MUSX file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
