Yikes! problems installing 1.0
I am not a professional computer person so this is way too much work. You may have a great product some day so keep at it.
I am on Linux and I uninstalled 9.6 no upgrade option. Then manually downloaded 1.0 extracted the files and moved them to the oem directory then followed the README instructions. No luck tried the "make clean" and retry option again zip..
Suggestions.
I was sorry to read that you will not be supporting these files extensions in the future. I have been down this path with both purchased and free software before. Writing out music by hand really is the fastest way in the long run...

MuseScore is in beta state. That means you should not use
it for any mission critical work. It is incomplete and surely has
a lot of bugs. Also the save format (*.mscx and *.mscz files) will
most likely change in future versions. :>)

Did you download a beta version or something? I don't think the release versions shoukd contain that message. Certainly, they work hard to make sure that files created with one official release can still be opened in the next.

Yes this was suppose to be the stable version
1.0 musescore or mscore-1.0

Where specifically are you seeing that message, then? That is, what are you doing that causes it to be displayed?
Bottom line, it almost defintely shouldn't be saying that. While it is true that in the experimental builds there are never any guarantees that files created in one build with work in another, as I said, they work hard to make sure that's not the case for the actual releases.
Aside from the spurious warning message, are you having some sort of other problem installing 1.0? It isn't clear what those might be from your message.
As for ease of using MuseScore versus writing by hand, I'd say there is a learning curve with any software, but once you get the hang of it, there is no going back. It's not only more efficient, but you can get far better results, plus capbilities - like playback, automatic transposition, score sharing, etc - that are just not possible otherwise.

the message is in your README text file that comes with 1.0 mscore

It does have some very ambitious features and if I can't get 1.0 installed I will re-install 0.9.6 and turn all my files into pdfs
that way if the software does go away at least I will have the pdf's.
Perform the following commands in a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal)
sudo apt-add-ppa repository: mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install musescore

Do I have to be in a certain directory for this command to work? I look again at the download site and I think 0.9.6 is the latest stable distribution for Ubuntu..
