This plugin exports the lyrics and the music of a score into the UltraStar format. UltraStar is free program similar to SingStar. Other programs use the UltraStar format as well, such as the open source Performous.
These programs generally attempt to match lyrics and tone notations to an existing mp3 recording of a song. The basic idea of these kinds of games looks like it would work well for practicing, but the existing mp3 files are usually the original song from the original artist. While this works well when singing just for fun, it makes it difficult for the singer to really learn from his performance.
This plugin requires MuseScore 2.0.1 or above.
