What is MUS file?
MUS is an acronym for .MUS files, or Finale Notation File Format. MUS is a proprietary format introduced by MakeMusic Inc. in 1988 as part of the Finale music editing software package. The format stores musical scores as digital objects with a wide variety of individual formatting elements and properties. It supports page layout, graphical integration, playback control, file sharing, notation, and metadata features. [ ⏩ ] MUS file extension

How to convert the file from MUS to MUSX?
To successfully convert the MUS file to MUSX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.MUS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case MUSX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than MUSX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MUS to MUSX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting MUS files to MUSX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MUSX, while before this step we had the MUS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MUSX file, or not.
