Export Errors - cannot export tracks to Wav or Mp3 successfully
Since the latest update, I cannot export tracks to Mp3 or Wav.
What I do:
Click File -> Export
Pick the tracks I want to use and the file format.
Set the file location and Enter.
What it SHOULD do:
Give me a separate track for each instrument that I can pull over to Studio One for mixing, etc.
What it IS doing since the update:
Gives me a separate track for each instrument - but each track actually contains a blend of multiple instruments, e.g., my Piano track has Piano AND Violincello and some Drum Kicks. Some of these tracks are garbled with clicks and audio stutters.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've also tried downloading a fresh version of Musescore 4 on another computer and then opening it through the cloud storage. I didn't have any problems at all before this update.
Is anyone else experiencing the same glitches?
Does anyone have any other ideas?

If you attach your score and give precise steps to reproduce the problem, someone should be able to take a look.

My goal is to export tracks to Wav format. When I go to Export, I select the tracks I want, select the correct format, and then pick a folder.
How it's worked for the past two years is that each individual track is exported to a separate file.
What ends up happening is tracks are garbled and mix the instruments - e.g., the Violin track ends up with other instruments in it somewhere. It won't let me upload an example - it says .wav isn't an acceptable format for upload.

Don't worry about not being upload the WAV file - it's the score itself we need.
Anyhow, I loaded your score, and then opened the parts, and I can see that what you are calling the "Violins" part actually contains four instruments (the violins, both violas, and one of the cellos). Simialrly for the flute part. The others seem normal.
So it seems perfectly correct that exporting that part would contain the sound from all of the instruments present within the part. If you don't want those instruments present, remove them from the part.

I appreciate your assistance since I'm pulling my hair out here. I see what you mean about the Violins track, but it happens on other tracks as well.
Just to be sure, I opened all Parts, made sure that each Part only contain a single instrument, and re-saved the song. It still happens. Please try the upright-Piano track. Around 1:15, cello comes in which definitely was not part of the track.

Very strange, I can confirm that. Please open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/issues) to report this to the developers for further investigation. Be sure to include this copy of the score (you'll need to ZIP it first) and the info about which part has the problem and where.

Actually, checking the part itself, I hear it there too. That is, the issue isn't specific to export, it happens just playing the part within MuseScore. Starts at bar 48. And when I check the mixer, I see that indeed, the cello 2 - although hidden - is not muted. The ability to decoupling hiding and muting is new with 4.4, so maybe you were experimenting with that and left this in that state accidentally? Or perhaps there was a bug in an earlier version that saved this instrument as not muted but the bug wasn't discovered until MuseScore finally started supporting unmuted instruments in parts?
In any case, it seems that again, this isn't a bug - it's just MuseScore honoring what's in the score. Of course, it's also possible that a bug in MuseScore cause the staff to somehow unmute itself, but before reporting that on GitHub, you'd need to find steps to reproduce the issue.

Thank you. It would have taken me a LONG time to figure that out.
It seems like an odd feature to decouple hiding and muting but I'm sure it makes sense in some situations. I have 7 songs now to work on and hopefully no other problems come up.
Thanks again!

By default toggling visibility does mute, but you have the ability to then unmute, and apparently you did that accidentally. Either that, or, as I said, some bug somehow flipped that setting for you, either in the version you originally created this with, or in 4.4. Hard to say, but I've seen no other reports of issues with this, so I'm guessing it was just a misclick.
