Musescore 3 Not playing anything

• Apr 17, 2020 - 22:44

I have searched and saw other threads, but nothing has worked. Im just trying to add a soundfont to Musescore since the new one sounds bad. Whenever I press space or play, nothing happens. It grays out the notes like it normally does, but no blue line that follows the notes or anything. This is the reason why I didnt' update to musescore 3, because of stuff like this

What sound font are you trying to add? And how are you trying to add it? For most things, the default general HQ sf3 font is among the better. I am constantly trying others and usually go back to the default. I have the solo horn from an sfz font added because there is no solo horn in the default.

If the default soundfont and works but the one you are trying does not, this suggests the one you are trying has some compatibility issue, or was not installed correctly. Which soundfont? Is it installed at the top of the list or second or elsewhere? What's the full list of installed soundfonts?

For the record, nothing significant has changed regarding how soundfonts are installed or used between MuseScore 2 and 3, so if this soundfont doesn't work with MuseScore 3, it almost certainly would not have worked with MuseScore 2 either.

If on the other hand you are saying even the default doesn't play, then be sure to check https://musescore.org/en/node/96811.
