Problem with the Save Online function
For some reason it's not letting me update scores that I've already saved online. The "update existing score" option doesn't show up at all. It'll only let me upload it as a new score. I'm not entirely sure if this is a software problem or a website problem, I posted this in the website forum and nobody answered, so hopefully I'll get somewhere here.

That should work. Not sure whether the score being in continuous view may screw things up though?
The URL in the score is
https://musescore.com/user/13465726/scores/5940635
your URL given above is

I double checked the URL and it matches the first one you sent, and I made sure to try while it was in page view. This really has me stumped.

Might very well be a bug on the website, try contacting support@musescore.com about it or report it in https://musescore.com/groups/improving-musescore-com/

Yeah I'm not getting my hopes up too much. It's okay though, it's not really a huge deal and I can get around it if need be, it's just an inconvenience.

Ah, thanks.
When using "Save online" the first time, MuseScore modifies your score to include the URL in File > Score Properties > source. If you don't save, that information is lost.
Won't happen in 3.5 anymore, see 19ae67d

The URL is included in the source, and I even checked with scores that I've updated in the past with no problem, but the option isn't there anymore. So I'm not sure if it's a website glitch or a software problem, but there's definitely something malfunctioning.

@paramike97
Do you by any chance have two separate accounts on musescore.com? Were you trying to update an existing score, but you were logged into a different account than the account which uploaded the score first time? The giveaway is if you don't see the checkbox and caption "Update existing score": that's a big hint that you are logging in with the wrong account.

No, I only have the one account.
