Making a flac or wav file from a score
I am using musescore 1.2 in ubuntu12.4 - 64 bit low latency (Kernel3.2.0.33). I need to be able to 1. playback what I have written, 2: enable sound production during note entry, 3.record a part or score to hard drive as a flac or wav file to then be transferred to CD. I've gone half - blind reading everything in the forum only to be more confused. One of the forum entries said to choose save as a WAV file, but I don't seem to have that option (unless I'm being exceptionally blonde about it - yes I am blonde - " save as" only seemes to allow for re-titling a selection - not translating it into an audio format. I'm sorry if I've missed something - - - but PLEASE give me step - by - step instructions. [I speak jazz musician very well but computer techno-geek is as foreign to me as sandscrit.]

... you should see a dialogue box. At the bottom, right (as you look at it, not as the box perceives the world). you should see a big tab that says "Compressed MuseScore Format". If you click on the little arrows at the end of that bar you will (or should be) presented with a list of file formats that you can save in. You should then highlight the filname in the "Name" box at the top and give a filename but without the default mscz. extension (or any extension, for that matter, since MuseSCore will add the correct one).

The list of file format options presented in the save-as dialog does not include ogg, flac, or wav.
I am running MuseScore 1.2 on openSuse 12.1.

It's a packaging problem. You could try to update to 1.3 if your distrib has the package. If you have the same problem in 1.3, you could report this problem to the opensuse packager. He forgot the dependency to libsndfile probably.

Thanks very much for your reply. I suspected that but didn't know enough to be sure.
