Audio volume
Is there a way to adjust the overall volume of the exported audio? The default one is too loud for me.
I understand that changing the dynamics won’t help due to the normalization described here: https://musescore.org/en/node/180561#comment-672516

You can turn off normalisation.

Thank you.
As far as I understand, this setting is not saved in a mscz file, so if I upload a score to musescore.com and don’t want normalization, I have to export the audio myself and set it as a custom audio source?

You could indeed try to use custom audio for that; but I do wonder why you wouldn't want normalization for a score on .com? What would be the downside?

I’m trying to make an accurate transcription of a performance from a YouTube video and want another person to check it by listening to the original and my version. With normalization turned on, the volume level of the two is very different, so the person would have to constantly switch the speakers’ volume when comparing, otherwise the YouTube recording would be inaudible or the MuseScore audio too strident.

Just get YouTube to increase their volume ;-)
No, joking aside, that is indeed a decent use case I'd not consider before. To be able to upload your custom local audio to .com, you'd have to use File > Save Online from within the notation software and tick the "upload audio" option. That option is only available is you're using non-default synthesizer settings (such as custom soundfonts).
