How to update scores AND audio on the musescore.com from musescore 4
We started a project inside our choir to use musescore.com to have a digital solution to practice at home.
In general I wanted to keep my score on my PC and after the work is finished for one movement I upload to the public. When the next movement is finished I want to update the score including the audio.
But when I upload again I did not get my old score updated musescore.com is creating a new one.
I tried to find a way on the musescore.com but there I could only update the score direct without triggering the mp3 generation and the the update of the audio.
Could someone teach me how I can update score AND audio direct from musescore 4 ot direct from musescore.com?

Audio is always updated when you upload your score from within MuseScore 4 (eg, File / Publish to musescore.com). To make sure it updates your original score, make sure you didn't actually delete the URL in the Source field of File / Project properties.
"But when I upload again I did not get my old score updated - musescore.com is creating a new one."
This sounds as though your "newer" score has lost the link to the original online version.
Try this:
1. Log in to your account on musescore.com, and go to "My scores".
2. Find and select your original score which you published on musescore.com.
3. Click the "Share" button to the right of your score, and paste the copied text into an editor like Notepad.
For example:
https://musescore.com/user/150465/scores/9788920/s/GgVePY?share=copy_li…
4. Now open your "newer" version of the score in your MuseScore desktop editor.
5. Check what (if anything) is present in File > Project properties... > Source. That property should contain the URL of the existing (original) score on musescore.com.
For example:
https://musescore.com/user/150465/scores/9788920
6. If the Source property is empty (or wrong), you must copy only the first part of your text (from Notepad), up to and including the score number. Then paste this URL text into the Source property of your newer score.
7. Save your newer score, then choose File > Publish to MuseScore.com....
8. Your original score on musescore.com will then be updated.

Thanks for your answer. I did not try it but I will do it next upload. I expect I have to use the 'publish to musescore.com' feature to puplish the score afterwords. Am I right?

Thank you, sir. This was exactly what I needed!
Thanks for your quick answers. But I have still several questions.
My last upload uses 'save to cloud' feature and I succeed to update my score including the audio. But I have still several questions.
1) When I try to store the score, musescore wanted to upload the score direct. To do this musescore needs to generate a MP3. But for my score this takes 30min. Is there any way to store the score first on the PC location and afterwords upload to the cloud
2) I got now the cloud pictogram on the score overview for this upload. I look on the properties and found that the score is saved on a total other location ( C:\Users\olafm\Documents\MuseScore4\Cloud Scores ) as before and the name of the score file is changed. Before it was Carl_Maria_von_Weber_Messe_in_G.mscz now it is Carl_Maria_von_Weber Messe in G - Carl Maria von Weber.mscz It looks for me that the upload dialog (Edit score) changes the file name because I change the Titel according your formate definition ( Song name – Composer ) and my new file name have this formate at the end.
3) For me it is unclear why I need to input the data at the the 'Score edit' dialog also by an update again. Also the file name which is indicated ( Messe in G.mscz) is not correct. So I select the file in the location C:\Users\olafm\Documents\MuseScore4\Cloud Scores\ Carl_Maria_von_Weber Messe in G - Carl Maria von Weber.mscz. Is this a bug? Also all other steps I have to repeat. This is also unclear for me.
4) What is the difference between 'save to cloud' and 'publish to musescore.com'. Could someone explain me what is the real difference.
5) I still did not see any possibility to update a score direct from the WEB. For me on the Score Manager I found only two buttons: 1) update score – When I use this the audio is still the same 2) update audio – this I did not try because I do not know which mp3 I have to upload and how I can create this from musescore4.

You can certainly upload your score without generating and uploading audio - just do it from your browser. I was answering the question, how do you update the audio. For that, upload from within MuseScore.
Save to cloud is a new experimental feature that is still largely incomplete and will be developed further in the future. I'm not sure there is any reason for using it currently, but eventually it is intended to treat musescore.com more like an ordinary external drive you can access from anywhere, kindof like Dropbox or Google Drive. Publish is what you'd normally want right now though.
Other questions about the inner working of the score-sharing website are best asked over there on that website.
