Title Box
Is there a way to make the title box a solid line instead of a dotted line? I like the look of the old solid line.
Thanks

The box is for screen display pruposes; it does not appear at all when printing, exporting to PDF, etc. If you want an actual box to appear, you can add one to the title itself, by right clicking it, Text Properties, and playing with the Frame options.

Okay. It always shows when I print for some reason. I have default settings. I'll play with the Frame options.
Thanks a lot.

...wait... I always make a screen shot to print! I'll have to try printing from the program. Thanks again!

??? Can you post a score and steps to reproduce this problem? A box should never print around the title frame.
EDIT - ah, I see, screenshot. When you make a screenshot using the "Image capture" mode within MuseScore, note there is both a "Print Mode" and "Screenshot Mode". Use the "Print Mode" to get it to look like it would if printed.

Marc, I've been testing this capability, but I can't find a good performance; I mean: a real "artistic" box (something like the old scores front pages).
The best I got is on the attached file (which I don't like).
Is it on the future improvements of the program? ???
Greetings & Blessings!!!!!!!

It's not meant for anything fancy. You can always just attach an image.
Yes, thanks. One thing I noticed though is I could get a better resolution from my printer if I did a screen shot rather than save in PDF, even if I increased the resolution in my preferences. I found I can get rid of the title box by closing frames then I display my score at 150% to 200% and take a screen shot from my computer, not Musescore program. I transcribe American fiddle tunes and they're usually only about 16 bars so I can make them big and legible on one page.

You can make scores big directly, by changing the staff size in Layout / Page Settings / Staff space. Taking screen shots should not be necessary except for including graphics into other docuemnts, not for simple printing.
