Do i must change my operating systems to make Musescore 2.x plugins work ?
I have Musescore 2.0.2 on windows 7 32 bit. many plugins crash Musescore 2.x when I open them.
I have Musescore 2.1.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 (and I tried other 2.x version) many plugins do not appear in the list but are enable in the Plugins Manager (like ABC Import, view, Harmonica tablature...). So they don't work.
So I cannot use Musescore 2.x due the lack of plugins, it's very frustrating.
Do i really have to change my OS to use Musescore 2.x ?
It seems to be a QT problem with no work-around solutions.
May we expect improvement of Musescore to have this nice software on these OS ?

Which Plugins exactly crash Musescore? Which exactly can get enabled in the Plugin Manager?
In reply to Which Plugins exactly crash by Jojo-Schmitz
hi jojo,
W7 : On windows7-32bits, MS2.0.2 some plugins make the app crash
Ubuntu: On Ubuntu 14.04LTS, MS 2.1 the plugins are marked as enable in Plugins Manager but some of them are not in listed in the menu "Plugins" so cannot be used.
batch_convert : enable but not present in the menu in Ubuntu / no present in Plugins Manager's list in W7
colornotes : OK both systems
createscore : OK both systems
harmonica_tablature : enable but not present in the menuin Ubuntu / crash in W7
helloqml : OK both systems
notresnames : OK both systems
panel : OK Ubuntu / crash in W7
random : OK both systems
randomrandom2 : enable but not present in the menuin Ubuntu / crash in W7
run : OK both systems
scorlist :OK both systems
view (scoreView) : Ok Ubuntu / crash in W7
walk : OK both systems

Regarding crashes on Windows, can you post the score you are having problems with and precise step by step instructions to reproduce the crash?
Regarding Ubuntu, it's possible MuseScore is not installed correctly. Did you install it from a oackage manager or build it yourself? If the latter, did you run "make install"? In either case, what version of Qt do you have installed?

Could be
My Qt is :
ngux@ngux:~$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.4.2 in /home/ngux/Qt/5.4/gcc/lib
if i have good memory. I've installed with an apt-get command on this ppa:mscore-ubuntu/mscore-nightly
I'm not found of "make install", there's always issues, too time-consuming.
In reply to Regarding Ubuntu, it's by ngux
The PPAs are know to have (or have had, it might have been fixed meanwhile) issue with a missing dependency, some dll dealing with (drumroll) plugins! So this may well be the problem there.
You should see a corresponding error meaasge though, when staring MuseScore from the commandline
In reply to The PPAs are know to have (or by Jojo-Schmitz
Well for Ubuntu 14.04LTS, it the same story you can find on other post :
line x: module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed
line y: module "QtQuick.Layouts" is not installed
line z: module "Qt.labs.settings" is not installed
...
I've try many time to install those QtQuick things without success. I have installed Qmake last version, Qtcreator etc...
Nothing works. I've read a guy who succeed but he had to change his version of Ubuntu (this post in french https://musescore.org/fr/node/38381) , that I cannot do...
This is the whole code when i launch Musescore 2.1
note : I have installed Muscsore 1.3 on the same machine witch works fine.

That QtQuick is what I meant. Not all plugins use/Need it, so thosw work even without, the others don't even register.

On Windows : I clic "new file", put a title, use Treble, tempo 4/4 write CDEFGAB, go out of the N mode, then clic on the Plugins Menu and use abc_import or Ramdom2 or Harmonica_Tablature or scoreView (scoreView is not always crashing the app but most of the time).
I would upload a test score here to show you but I didn't understood how to do it here. sorry :-/
In reply to Regarding crashes on Windows, by ngux
You can add a score by going to the bottom of a comment you're adding, just above "save". Click on "File Attachments" and navigate to your score. :)

Oups! Sorry to be such a dummy....
This a score made with MS 2.0.2 on Windows 7
In reply to Oups! Sorry to be such a by ngux
still no crashes here, Windows 7 too, but 64bit
In reply to hi jojo, W7 : On by ngux
Batch_convert does work here, Windows 7, MuseScore 2.0.2 and as well as current development builds. Maybe you need to get the latest version of that plugin (there were some recent changes to it)?
panes, random2, ScoreView don't crash here.
Have you tried do load any of these into the plugin editor and let them run there? Maybe you see some meaningful error Messages there?

Jojo, you said :

do you have the 32 bits version ? Mine is a Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32bits
i've notice the same problem on this post also https://musescore.org/en/node/59856 witch seems there were no issue of problem.
In reply to Jojo, you said by ngux
Hmm, OK, mine is a 64bit Windows 7. As MuseScore is 32 bit this shouldn't make a difference, but maybe it does.
That other thread hints at some OpenGL dll though, not a general 32 vs 64 bit Problem, doesn't it?
I think you list of crashing vs working plugins pretty much is plugins with and without a GUI, so OpenGL seems even more likly the culprit?
In reply to Hmm, OK, mine is a 64bit by Jojo-Schmitz
Yes, issues with OpenGL on W7 32bits, it seems to be a good track to search.
But i don't have the slightest idea of what to do ! i'm not very good at Windows.
Would you have a clue ?
In reply to Yes, issues with OpenGL on W7 by ngux
Are you using the vanilla install package on windows? or the noSSE one? https://musescore.org/en/download#Unsupported-versions-of-Windows
In reply to Are you using the vanilla by [DELETED] 5
IIRC non-SSE one doesn't support plugins at all, so that's be rather unlikely?
In reply to IIRC non-SSE one doesn't by Jojo-Schmitz
It was a good idea but my Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00GHz supports SSE2
At that point, to make a conclusion of this post we can say, about some plugins in MS 2.x (MS 1.3 works fine) :
1) In Ubuntu 14.04 32 bits we have a QT issue that's no way to solve, as far I know. (only with Musescore 2.x on my machine. Others apps work ok)
2) in Windows 7. Ultimate 32 bits some plugins have a OpenGL issue that's no way to solve, as far I know. (only with Musescore 2.x on my machine. Others apps work ok)
So YES it seems not possible to use some of the plugins with those 2 Operating Systems.
So YES if you want to use ALL the plugins with Musescore 2.x, you must change OS.
I'ld wish I'm wrong....
Thank you to every one for the help.

Don't blame it.on the OS, on Windows is is like a.Driver acting up on some (very few) computers. On Linux it is a problem with the packaging
