Documents side by side ...
Hello,
I am new on Musescore and I have encountered a small problem with the displays in order to use it correctly :
If I try to open 2 documents side by side on musescore, I get 4 documents. And Musescore is not able to separate this documents for example:
1 documents on the left screen
1 documents on the right screen
Best regards ^_^
Thi

Hello Jojo-Schmitz, thanks, I have seen but it doesn't solve this problem :-(
Don't use the side-by-side monitors to 'duplicate' the same screen (so you get 4 docs), rather use the second monitor as an 'extension' of the first. Then you can re-size the entire MuseScore window across the 2 monitors.
The "borderline" which separates document 1 and document 2 can be dragged to coincide with the mid-point of the 2 screens, so document 1 is on the left screen and document 2 is on the right screen.
In Windows, here are the choices to project to a second screen:

You want 'Extend'.

I don't think this applies here
With that setup you can have doc 1 left and doc 2 right, in the forground, the other in the background. And that's what you have. In that mode, MuseScore works that way, it is mostly usefiull for copy/pasting stuff from one part of a doc to another of the same doc
You don't get 4 documents, you got two views and each view allows you to select which (part of which) document you'd like to see inside it.

Yes jeetee but If I want only to open 2 differents documents, Musescore currenly open 2 times each documents then total = 4 documents.
And If I delete for example document 1 on the right monitor, then it would be deleted too on the left monitor ... :-(

That's the way this mode works
Use the second screen as an extension of the first, not a duplicate. You then extend the MuseScore window across both screens. Then you adjust doc 1 to fill screen 1 and doc 2 to fill screen 2.

Do you have 2 screens? What are also known as monitors?
-OR-
Do you mean "left screen" as "left side of the screen"?

Hello Jm6stringer,
![example_step_2.png]()
I have 2 monitors with extended display mode of course ;)
Then I would like to have 2 independent documents (see for example this picture below) because currently all documents are attached to each other

So you want two separate instances of MuseScore and not a side-by-side view within the main window.
The current workaround would be to launch the installed version and a portable version to work around this.
I know that multi-window/instance has been discussed for MS4; but I'm not sure it was implemented or not.

"So you want two separate instances of MuseScore and not a side-by-side view within the main window."
Yes, that's what I would like to have but no problem, I'll get used to it
Thanks a lot and for this open source software :)
What do you mean by "all documents are attached to each other"?
Can't you extend the MuseScore display across 2 monitors, then adjust the documents to display on separate monitors?

Hello Jm6stringer,
Yes I can extend musescore display across 2 monitors as your picture. But If you try to close "tab" for example the document n°2 on the right monitor, you will notice that this
document n°2 will be closed to on the monitor 1 ... :(

Because as mentioned before, you're not seeing 4 documents, but the same 2 documents are available in each view.
One of the main reasons for this is that you can do side-by-side with 1 document to easily copy and paste across from different positions in the (long) score.

Ok no problem I will get used to it.
Thank you very much for your patience and help :)
