Will I lose preferences, templates, workspace after 2.0 update?
Hello!
After I download the upcoming MuseScore 2.0, will my own preferences, templates, workspace etc. be lost or kept unchanged. If they will be lost, how can I save them or restore them. I use 2.0 beta 2. Thanks in advance!

You won't lose your own templates (or scores), you may lose preferences and workspace due to changes in RC/final vs. Beta 2, which may require a factory reset.

And how can I do a factory reset?

So the point is that after I download MuseScore 2.0, I will follow these steps and I will have the same preferences and palletes (workspace) as now in beta 2. Right?

The point is that after a factory reset you will have lost your preferences, and may have kept your workspace.

To avoid misunderstandings:
Save your files *.mpal and *.workspace in a dedicated folder;
Later, if you have to use factory reset or uninstall the program you can copy them into the corresponding folders. Or use the command "Load Palette"

Ok, I see. But is there a way to save my workspace in a file or each pallete seperately?

this?:

as each file (doc / pdf / jpg) the single palette (* .mpal) can be saved.
Workspace is a (custom) set of palettes. You could create one for Choir, another for guitar etc.
just use different names

If one has been using Nightlies consistently - and one has workspace and preferences customizations that one doesn't wish to lose - is there any compelling reason to download and use the upcoming RC or the subsequent official 2.0? What would be the downside to continuing to use Nightlies instead?
I'm not sure if my question makes sense! I guess what I mean is wouldn't the Nightly on, for example, the date of either the RC or the official 2.0 release be functionally equivalent? With no loss of customizations?

2.0 Beta/RC/Final and nightlies can coexist, they maintain their own settings.
Esp. after release the nightlies may become unstable, as new development work would start.
