It's a Jungle Out There (Monk Theme Song)
Hello all.
This is my attempt to capture the wonderful theme song of one of my favorite TV shows on MuseScore. Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently my computer decided to put a comma in the file extension. Here is the correct attachment.

I can't open that. Seems a problem with the encoding of the ' in the filename
I can open //musescore.org/sites/musescore.org/files/It's%20a%20Jungle%20Out%20There.mscz though

That's strange. Oh, and please note that it should be swung at 132 BPM.

Then add a tempo text with that speed.

Is something like tempo text that would make it swung?
In reply to Swing by musicandpancakes
No but it gets the BPM right.
Swing can get switched on in the play panel (which also can alter speed)

I've got the BPM, then, so here it is.
That's really great! I like your use of jazz syncopation. One thing I might mention that's sort of bugging me is the guitar playing the melody. I don't know what it was originally played on—whether it was a guitar or not—but it doesn't seem like it's really in a melodic range to me . . . . Let me qualify that: The guitar seems to be playing in a tenor/baritone range, and I think it would sound better a little higher—maybe alto or mezzosoprano. A muted trumpet, I think, would really fit well with the style. But that's just my opinion.
Cheers,

There's something strange for me. When I click on the Musescore file, I get MPC coming up with an "invalid file name" message.

Which one isn't working? Or are none of them working?

The message it is attached to contains: "I've got the BPM, then, so here it is."
I will try with the earlier one and let you know.
EDIT: None of them work for me. I tried all I could find. All except the 1st one have the result as reported. The first on triggers MuseScore, but no file loads.
In reply to I only tried the last one. by xavierjazz
I opened the one that Jojo posted titled something like "I can't open that."

It seemed to be going to open, as the running program was accessed, but nothing came up.
In reply to I tried that one also. by xavierjazz
Hm. Weird. It works just fine for me.
Try this?
In reply to Hm. by iHasCheese
Weird—I can't get the one I just posted to open . . .
In reply to Huh. by iHasCheese
Let's see if this one will work. It's in the .mcsx file format.

I was finally able to open the last one.
The comma in the filename means you posted the *backup* version of the file (it probably also had a leading period). The real version of you file has neither the comma nor the period.
Here's another version of the Monk Theme (also made with Musescore):
