Hi People
I am constant interruptions ( spinning wheel) how do I optimise for best use of Muse score ( 4.3.0). I am using a iMac. 11.6 big Sur
I am working on quite a large score ( a wind symphony) so I'm not sure what to do. I haven't had this problem in the past.
What should I do? , (I ve also gone back to factory settings)
any help is really appreciated!
Martin

First thing to look at: does your computer meet the System Requirements? https://musescore.org/en/download at the bottom of the page.

And, if you look on the software Download page (down at the bottom), it looks as though your equipment does not meet the minimum requirements:

You could install JoJo’s Musescore 3 Evolution instead:
