Muse score 4 files not opening charts made in previous versions

• Oct 20, 2023 - 03:22

I have tried all of the recommendations I found in other forums: resetting all my styles to default, clicking "open with" muse score 4 when I am right clicking to open the score. Nothing works, the old scores just look totally messed up in Musescore 4. I had this happen a number of times now :( Please help! Thank you! <3

You will get a better reply if you attach an example of an old score which you can't open in MS4. You can use the button "Choose a file" to attach the example score (.mscz file) here when you reply in this thread.

"the old scores just look totally messed up in Musescore 4"

So MS4 does open scores from older versions - in spite of the title of your post??

Here are two suggestions:
1. Use Ctrl+A (select all) then Ctrl+R (reset all).
2. MS 3 and MS4 need more space to avoid collision of elements in the score. So try reducing the Scaling a bit: Format > Page settings ... > Scaling > Stave space > reduce with the arrow (e.g. from 1.750mm to 1.550mm).
