How to delete items from the File>open menu
New to musescore. Vista operating system, running musescore version 1.3. Cannot find in handbook or on this forum how to remove unwanted items in the menu that displays with File>open or File>open recent. Apparently any scores viewed on screen, including those from the website, are defaulted to this dropdown list and I want to keep only selected items. It's likely obvious to some, but not to me. Can anyone help?

Sorry, there is no such option. In 2.0 Beta 1 there is an option to clear the recent list, but not to remove items individually. However, scores loaded from MuseScore Connect don't show up in the list any more either (at least they don't for me currently).

Many thanks for your instant response! At this point, I have just one score that I wish to save, and I think I can just save it to my documents folder, or even just print it. In just a little poking around, I have wound up with a half dozen or so other scores and I can easily see the list growing substantially. With v.1.3, is there an option to clear the list entirely? Or, alternatively, should I try v. 2.0 on my Vista os? Thanks again for your help!

I would try the 2.0 beta.
There are so many improvements in it over 1.3.
The only downside is that you cannot currently upload scores from it to MuseScore.com, although you can export in MusocXML, load into 1.3 and upload from 1.3.
HTH

I believe that in 1.3, the list won't grow without bounds; it resets to some minimum number each time you restart MuseScore. But I think it does grow arbitrarily until you restart.

My thanks to both Mark Sabatella and ChurchOrganist for the advice. I have today downloaded v.2.0 and for now I'll keep both and experiment with them, as I'm new to doing notation on the computer. Most pleased to have found MuseScore!
In poking around my temp files, I found I actually could delete items from this list by deleting them from the computer. Again thanks for the suggestions.
