I have the same problem.
I am new. What do you mean?
According to the README "make release" and ./build.release/mscore/mscore are enough to launch mscore.
it is needed ever since workspaces exist, and before as soon as you wanted to use chord symbols
That readme should just point to the developers' handbook
I got the same error after running from the msvc.install directory. My workaround was to create a "workspaces" folder into my msvc.install_x64 directory (one directory up from msvc.install_XXX/bin where the MuseScore executable is). This should contain the "Advanced.workspace" and "Basic.workspace" files from the msvc.build_XXX\share directory.
There must be some copy step in the build script that is silently failing on my windows7 x-64 machine and causing this. I'll have to look more deeply into the script at some point...
A tiny remark for mac users (since I got this problem running in debug mode on mac) ; even if you run the install step as indicated above you'll get the same workspace error ; this is because the MuseScore resources directory on Mac is located inside the MuseScore.App application bundle (bundles are the usual way to package apps on mac) ==> So after the install run you need to manually open the App bundle , and put the Basic and Advance workspace in mscore.app/Contents/Resources/workspaces

README is wrong. See instead the compile instructions in the developer handbook on this site (see Contribute menu above).
But, yeah, the README should be fixed to, the install has been needed for something like 10 years I think.
