new musescore 3.6.2 overrides chosen fonts in preferences
Just installed the new version of musescore 3.6.2 but text fonts changed and override my choice of fonts in the preferences. How do I stay with my preferred fonts?

but it is a effect that after I was asked to incorporate 3.6.2 features fonts were changed to serif type
not in the preference but in every old score I opened
should be corrected, I think it is a bug
there are new features but leave the preferences alone if they don't conflict with new features

The font you can set in prefereneces is used only in the UI
Fonts in score are set via Format > Style > Text styles. There indeed the default changed in 3.6 from FreeSerif to Edwin
To be clear: there is no setting in Preferences that controls the fonts in your score, and there never has been. The font setting there affects the user interface only - menus, dialogs, etc. Fonts in your score have always been affected only by the style settings for that score.
So, you probably never had a setting controlling your fonts, it was just the old default FreeSerif. Now it's Edwin.
If you do wish to use FreeSerif in future scores for some reason, simply save a score set up that way to your Templates folder, then future scores created from that template will inherit those style settings.

Or use a style file. MuseScore even provides one for this, albeit well hidden in the program folder

can style be part of my template. the style I created before is not valid in the new version
I assume you meant handling page option in style
Still don't know how since it relates to top-bottom positioning of the score.
I thought it had something to do with printing the score
thank you

What about your style do you no longer find valid? Do you mean an MSS file you created? If it doesn't load in 3.6, change the version string at the top of the file from 3.01 to 3.02.

many thanks, Sabatella
it worked!
can Style --> Page help in placing the score on top left corner (with palettes open) as it normally did in 3.5.2?
or is it only for printing the score
Style --> Page handles top-bottom positioning but I didn't see left-right
thanks again

No, that is not a score style setting at all, if anything it would be something for Edit > Preferences, but see https://musescore.org/en/node/317227 where exactly this gets discussed
