The plugin is copied to "C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\plugins\" but doesn't appear in the Plug-In-Manager. I use MuseScore 3.6 on Windows 10 Pro (20H2) 64 Bit

That isn't the place to put it, see https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/plugins#windows
Also try loading it into the plugin editor and run it from there, this should at least tell you why it won't load
Confirmed. When I load it into the Plugin Editor and try to run it the console shows:
Running…
Creating component failed
line 219: Expected token
;'
;'line 220: Expected token
So the plugin has syntax errors. the code:
Adding the 'missing'
;
doesn't fix this though, so there got to be more to it.Apparently the cause is a too old version ot Qt (5.9.x), in a self-built one using Qt 5.15.2 the plugin just works. So it seems those
let
lines are a feature of the newer ECMA 6 version of JavaScript that newer Qt versions (starting with Qt 5.12) supports.Changing the code to
or
i.e. replacing
let
withconst
orvar
fixes this, so the plugin would work with all released versions of MuseScore 3.But then again the plugin you downloaded from that page was the wrong one, ExportNumbersMNLetters instead of ExportStaffMP3s, corrected now. That one does load properly.
A new issue against ExportNumbersMNLetters might be needed to get that code change in
Changed those let's to var's.
And thanks for correcting the download link.
It should work now
Ääähm...
Now it's getting weird!
After your last answer I downloaded the new file you mentioned.
I loaded a three part choir score.
Hooray!!! The plugin is shown in the plugin manager. The plugin starts, I select a folder to save, everything is fine, the plugin closes as it should and I "go" to the folder: EMPTY!!!
oops! Okay, I'm a little clumsy sometimes. So again from the beginning: Now I chose Desktop as the folder, but alas same result: Nothing..
What now?
Dunno, works for me
The plugin looks pretty bad in dark mode. can't read any of the texts:

Do you maybe want to send me an example score so I can test it on my system?
Unfortunately I currently do not have a windows machine but will again soon.

Oh and I have never switched to the dark version yet.
Is there a preferred method or instructions on how to create the plugin for light and dark theme?
Not sure there is a preferred method, but check e.g. my Batch Export plugin or @jeetee's Tempo Changes one, both do work in Light and Dark mode as far as I can tell, but apparently neither do any special coding for that.
