Musescore Pro

I bought Musescore Pro. How do I get to the advanced mixing tools to mute a voice, change the volume and play a solo?

MuseScore Pro is the name of a subscription service on the score-sharing website musescore.com, it's not really related to the actual MuseScore notation software. The mixing tools in MuseScore are, like everything else abut MuseScore, completely free, and you access them with View / Mixer. As for features that come with a Pro subscription on the score-sharing website musescore.com, you'd have to ask over there on that website.

I'm just commenting on your response and I truly appreciate all your help on this forum.
If "MuseScore com" is independent from "MuseScore org", why do I return here when I click on their Forum button in the footer?
That is very confusing.
Also, could you direct me to the Q&A platform for the Com site?
I understand your point, but it seems that they are telling us otherwise.
Appreciate!

Well, it's all one big company and the sites are obviously related, just as the Windows and Word are both products created from the same company. back when the score-sharing website was created, it used to be totally separate with separate logins required, and no one liked that, so the sites were merged. no one seems to like that either, but I don't personally see an obvious solution. Unless I'm missing something, though, the only "forum" link is in the site footer very clearly in the section labeled "software". Coming to the site devoted to the software shouldn't be any more surprising than if the Windows site has a link for Word in the footer and you clicked it and sure enough found yourself on the site for Word.

I have been round this loop quite a few times. If you buy the iOS (or presumably the Android) app, then you become a Pro member - and there are subscription charges to pay. It may be useful to have that service anyway, but some users don't want it, or don't want to have to pay an annual charge.

The MuseScore program which runs on Linux, Windows, MacOS is not the same as the app version, and there are no charges for the program which runs on those systems. Unfortunately there are then other issues which creep in, but I'm not going to go into all of that now.

I will look into the features mentioned (mixing, solo, muting, volume) for the app versions.

True, it's ambiguous - the term "software" could refer to the mobile app. So no doubt, the wording on the foot could be tweaked slightly.

I don't remember if you were around 10 years ago when everyone was clamoring for the sites & logins to be merged. That would have been a good time to predict the future and object. But I don't recall even one single dissent from what seemed a unanimous opinion to simplify everyone's lives in this way. Oh well.

No doubt the team is considered other strategies going forward, change is about the only constant in life. So perhaps at some point this decade-old decision might be revisited in some way.
