'''MusE''' is computer [[software]], a [[Music sequencer|sequencer]] for Musical Instrument Digital Interface ([[MIDI]]) and [[Sound|audio]], with recording and editing abilities.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Neumann|first=Frank|date=December 2003|title=The MusE Audio/MIDI Sequencer: Professional Music Maker|url=http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/37/MusE_Sequencer.pdf|magazine=Linux Magazine|location=Germany|publisher=Medialinx AG, Linux New Media|issue=37|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041012185340/http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/37/MusE_Sequencer.pdf|archive-date=October 12, 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://linux-sound.org/quick-toots/2-muse/quick-toot-muse.html |title=Recording A MIDI Sequence With MusE |last1=Phillips |first1=Dave |website=Sound & MIDI Software For Linux |publisher=Dave Phillips |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060407004701/http://linux-sound.org/quick-toots/2-muse/quick-toot-muse.html |archive-date=2006-04-07 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://linux-sound.org/quick-toots/4-sequencers_and_softsynths/quick-toot-midisynth_howto.html |title=HowTo Use MIDI Sequencers With Softsynths |last1=Barknecht |first1=Frank |website=Sound & MIDI Software For Linux |publisher=Dave Phillips |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060426235453/http://linux-sound.org/quick-toots/4-sequencers_and_softsynths/quick-toot-midisynth_howto.html |archive-date=2006-04-26 }}</ref> It was originally written by Werner Schweer and now is developed by the MusE development team. It is [[free software]] released under [[GNU General Public License|GPL-2.0-or-later]].

MusE aims to be a complete multitrack virtual studio for [[Linux]]. As of 2020, it has no support under other platforms as it relies on Linux-only technologies, such as [[Advanced Linux Sound Architecture]] (ALSA). It also supports the Linux Audio Session Handler (LASH).

For version 0.7, the music notation feature was removed from MusE; this code later became the cross-platform notation app [[MuseScore Studio]].<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7912|title=Linux MIDI: A Brief Survey, Part 2|author=Dave Phillips|date=Nov 23, 2004|magazine=[[Linux Journal]]|access-date=2011-12-29}}</ref> A scoring feature returned to MusE in version 2.0.<ref>[https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/blob/master/src/ChangeLog github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/blob/master/src/ChangeLog] "0.7.0pre4 tagged" .. "removed obsolete score editor" and "27.04.2011" ... "merged score edit branch into trunk (flo)"</ref>

From version 2.2 MusE supports the LV2 audio plugin format and the formerly supported Linux Audio Developer's Simple Plugin API ([[LADSPA]]), [[Disposable Soft Synth Interface]] (DSSI), and [[Virtual Studio Technology]] (VST).

From version 4.0 a redesigned user interface has been added.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Release MusE 4.0 |url=https://github.com/muse-sequencer/muse/releases/tag/4.0.0 |access-date=2025-01-27 |website=github.com}}</ref>
