Download without viewing

• Sep 7, 2015 - 10:29

Can someone please enlighten me. I find that when I look at my statistics I often see that a song has been downloaded yet there is a zero in the 'view' column. I don't understand how someone can download my song without viewing its page. Explanation appreciated.

Maybe the 'View' column is changed if is pressed the play button?
There will be a better answer. See: https://musescore.org/en/node/75366

Opening a score with the MuseScore mobile app for iOS/Android devices is currently considered as a download instead of a view. This is why you may have a download and no view. This will be reworked in the future.

I have pondered this for some time also, and have come to this, possibly incorrect, conclusion.
It may be where a veiw of your score is counted from.
Opening the page to where your score is stored, showing the menu where action can be taken such as download, etc, play, or by clicking on the score itself, opening it for veiwing.
Just opening the page itself may not be included as a veiw, but will allow a download.
A veiw as mentioned, may not be counted until the score itself is chosen by clicking inside the score to expand fully, or by selecting the arrows to page through the score.

Thanks to all who have tried to unravel this mystery.
