First run options

• Feb 13, 2020 - 13:47

Hi,

I've deployed MuseScore to a number of student machines. These are used by Primary School children (up to 11 yrs), so I don't want the first run dialog opening, allowing them to accidentally choose US keyboard layout etc.

I would like to know which files and registry keys I should deploy/set via GPOs to set the defaults as I specify.

Thanks,

Nathan

Once you've went through the configuration on one PC, you can copy over the main settings file from it to the others.

For windows you'll find it under %APPDATA%\MuseScore\MuseScore3.ini.
For MacOS that is ~/Library/Preferences/org.musescore.MuseScore3.plist.
On Linux systems (such as chromebooks) it should be ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/MuseScore/MuseScore3.ini

No additional registry settings required (those aren't quite cross-platform ;) )

The first run information is stored within the ini-file itself under the [application] section as:
startup\firstStart=false
keyboardLayout=AZERTY
startup\telemetry_access_requested=3.4.1
telemetry\allowed=true

and in the [ui] section there is:
application\startup\showTours=false
