score-clean
What does /score-clean mean in the file properties? It seems to prevent me from updating a score.

Which file properties, where?

Delete it? (rather: empty that tag)
Or fill it with the real URL of the online score
In reply to delete it? by Jojo-Schmitz
Ah! That looks worth a try.
In reply to delete it? by Jojo-Schmitz
Thanks, that's fixed it and I now have the option to update the score. No idea how/why it got score-clean, certainly not something that I typed. My PC is going incredibly slowly, (probably a Windows update), so maybe that is somehow involved.

That makes more sense, I was looking for a property called score-clean and couldn't find one..
Example?

The "source" field is supposed to contain the URL of the score on musescore.com if you've previously used Save Online. Just reset it to the correct URL, then the update should work.

Thanks, that has indeed fixed it. Very strange.

So this score?
https://musescore.com/user/28842914/scores/7342763
When I download that the source tag reads "http://musescore.com/scores/francisco-tarrega/recuerdos-de-la-alhambra-…", but "https://musescore.com/user/28842914/scores/7342763" should work too?

Yes. Don't know how it lost its URL but at least I know how to fix this if it happens again.

My URL now shows musescore.com/user/28842915/scores/7342763
I'll reupload and see what happens.

It's uploaded fine so it appears to be fixed.
Thanks to all for such quick help. 🙂
I vaguely recall this having something to do with the score-sharing website musescore.com, something they use to track something about the status of link to the copy there. If it's always in the "source" field, it's definitely about musescore.com
Hmm, see https://musescore.org/en/node/316542#comment-1058743 ff.

Yes, I was seriously bitten by the "score-clean" process a year ago which removed the URL from the Source field on dozens of scores in the OpenScore Lieder Corpus. This is what I posted in the thread mentioned by Jojo:
**I am fairly certain that this is a "score clean-up" process being run by the MuseScore team in Kaliningrad. There was major problem starting about 12 December 2020, which showed up as broken formatting in several areas of downloaded scores. See this long thread on "Improving Musescore.com":
https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com/discuss/5085250
In the absence of any official announcement from the MuseScore staff, I can only assume that there is a batch process which locks (one at a time) any potentially damaged scores dating from ca. 12 December (2020) and then performs a complex edit to "clean" or reformat various broken elements . These include edited dynamics (subito p), tempo directions with a notehead and stem metronome mark, instrument names which extend over two lines and so on.**

Interesting. There are certainly many tempo changes and customised dynamics in my score but nothing outside of the desktop software's GUI. If it happens again then I'll ask about it on the .com site.

"If it happens again then I'll ask about it on the .com site"
And if you do, perhaps you can ask why the /score-clean process doesn't replace the original URL? I am baffled as to why:
a) no MuseScore staff member has ever acknowledged that there is such a batch process;
b) after more than a year this problem still persists - the score's original URL is being removed from the Source field of Score Properties, and is not being restored at the end of the /score-clean process.

Well, when I downloaded that score, the url was in place (again?)

I certainly will. It's all a bit of a mystery.
