Unable to revert to v3
V4.1.1 does not play back so I tried to revert to v3. Scores opened in v4 can no longer be opened in v3. Is there a way of opening a score in v3 after opening it in v4?

Make a MuseXML file. However, this reduces the score to its simplest form. Which means you'll have to edit it afterwards. I would advise making copies of the scores that you want to upgrade to MuseScore 4

Thank you, beniegenie, that makes sense. I'll also create a pdf of the score from MuseScore 4 to aid me in editing the score in MuseScore 3.

The playback quality in v4 is appalling, with notes dropping out at random in MuseScore 4 and in exported mp3, so thanks for the offer but I can't wait for fixes as I have to send scores to my bandmates in the next day or so.

Using XML files is not the best way. For future reference, the Musescore 4 mscz file is a type of compressed file. If you open it with something such as 7-Zip, inside there will be a mscx file. That can be extracted and opened in Musescore 3.

That will loose all style settings, XML would retain many of them

That is good to know. I based my suggestion on the earlier post that said XML would simplify things. The scores I do are pretty simple, and before version 4 was updated to find corrupted measures, I had to revert a few to version 3. I didn't find any loss between the mscz and the embedded mscx.

That's strange, because when I've sent XML files to Sibelius users, beaming and stave breaks have all been lost.
