Need to find my music

• Oct 10, 2023 - 02:03

I need to find the music I had stored in Musescore 3. I have downloaded Musescore and still can't
find it.

To be able to run MS 3 and MS 4 on the same system, MS 4 is using a new set of folders to store the scores.
So anything you had in MS 3 should still be there, though in a different folder. Most likely in your "documents" folder.
See this link for the default folders in MS3: https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/preferences#general

A similar structure exist for MS 4, except the folder in the "Documents" folder is named MuseScore4 instead of MuseScore3.

Note that, if you are using a localized language in MS 3 the folder names used might be translated, while in MS 4 they will be using the english names by default.

The above assumes you are using the default folder locations.

I would like to add and strongly recommend that you copy the files with the file manager from the MuS 3 scores folder to the MuS 4 scores folder. The reason is: these files then remain in the MuS 3 - format, otherwise they can no longer be opened in MuS 3. And you have a backup.
