What is an MSCZ file?
An MSCZ file is a compressed music score created by MuseScore, a free program for music composition and notation. It stores several files, including .MSCX and .JSON files, in the MuseScore Compressed Score (MSCZ) format (uses Zip compression), that store instruments, time and key signatures, and music notes that comprise the composition. MSCZ files also contain audio settings, the score style, and other metadata.
