voice muted in playback is not muted in mp3 file
Hi,
This is my first post ever... I tried to search for this topic, but couldn't find anything, so I'm posting.
I'm using 3.0.5.5992 Windows 10. I have a score with 2 voices on a track. When I mute just 1 voice in Mixer, its muted in playback. However, when I export to mp3 I can still hear the voice that is supposed to be muted. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

You don't do anything wrong!
Workaround: select all notes in the voice (rightclick...select...more...), in inspector uncheck "Playback", then export to mp3.
Maybe there is a simplier solution?

When I try to select all similar elements, I get the soprano and tenor together. I'm not sure how to select only voice 1 in the upper staff...

Thanks, I didn't see the "same staff" button last time.
Dynamics don't work on single voices, see #58031: Dynamics/hairpin range for Voice.
But check the attached, using MuseScore 3's Wonem and Men and (hiden) staff text to switch voices 1 and 3 to Soprano/Tenor and voices 2 and 4 to Alto/Bass, all 4 have their own channel in the Mixer now

The mute button was working on voices in the playback. It just wasn't being reflected in the mp3. I can't see what you did to the file. The Mixer still has only 2 channels SA and TB. I can see there is text that says "t/b" above the tenor/bass line. I didn't notice anything else that has changed.

Oh, I see it now, but I can't tell from your description what steps you took to do that. Can you expand on that, or send a link to some instructions? Thank you!

I just changed the instrumente to Women and Men, added staff text, changed their properties to assign voices to channels and made them invisible

Hey it worked! That's a tricky thing to have the voices linked up to a text field that way. Thanks!
By the way, its taking a way, way longer time to export to mp3 than it usually does. Like 5 minutes each time. This really lengthens the time I'm spending on making practice files for my group. (4 voices x 2 speeds x mute or enhanced = 16 files - will take me 80 minutes). Is that because its parsing out the voices?

I'm on a work computer which I don't normally use for this, but my work computer is newer and faster than my home computer, so I'd be surprised if that's the reason. I'd have try it at home to remove that variable...
I agree that muting voice in the mixer should mute it for mp3 export as well. The workaround is possible and what I did in 2.x when I wanted to export only one voice from a staff with multiple voices, but while we have the upgraded mixer, why not use it to make life easier?

I know I can work around it too. Its what I did in MS 2, but I figured since there's this great button now specifically to mute voices, and it works on playback. I was surprised that the mp3 didn't reflect what I was hearing in playback.

Exactly!
