Musescore 3 to 2
Hello,
I've followed these instructions: Format: to open a musescore 3 file in musescore 2, export the file in MusicXLM format to open it with version 2. (File: Export - Uncompressed MusicXLM)
but when I try to open this format, Musescore 2 says it can't open it. I tried both compressed and uncompressed. Thank you for any help. - Sandy

The extension is "musicxml", not "MusicXLM". Did you select this "file of type" under File->Export...? If this doesn't work, maybe attache your score.

Yes, I just typed it wrong here but it doesn't work. Here's the file.

Works fine for me. Can you open the attached file with MS2?
edit: if not, maybe remove the dot from "Mr" in the file name.

Thanks. Yes it worked. Apparently, even though the directions had said "Uncompressed," I should export it as 'Compressed.' I had thought I'd tried it both ways before but it worked this time. Thanks so much for your help. Using the newer version (3) of musescore is a pain for me having to re-learn where everything is. My keyboard isn't synced with 3 either.

Uncompressed should have worked too, but the .musicxml extension is only known to newer MuseScore 2 versions.
