Folder An Organization on New and Recent score pages in the musescore program
Hey, I've been composing for nearly a year, currently my scores (in the musescore app) is flooded with projects either done, incomplete or abandoned. I think a folder system would be great in this menu so I can organize my music and find things easier, I also think if would be beneficial to have easier way to delete them from the New and recent scores and to rename them easier. I completely understand if this is impossible as I have no idea how to develop any program or anything,
-Thanks!

I don't think that the developers have the time or funding to develop a folder system for every user's online files.
In the past there was a perfectly viable alternative to folders, because a user could create Sets to hold scores. A score can belong to more than one Set, but a score can only be placed in a single folder.
There used to be two methods of adding your own score to a Set:
a) from the "3 dots" menu of an online score: choose Add to / remove from Set
b) from the button choices for an online score (Download, Print, Share, Send to YouTube etc) :
choose Add to Set
But recently two things have happened:
- first the option Add to / remove from Set stopped working (still a visible option, but does nothing)
- a few weeks later the Add to Set button disappeared completely
So right now the Sets functionality on musescore.com is dead in the water. I fail to understand why this has happened and whether it is deliberate...

Ah, I misunderstood.
And in that case, the computer's own operating system provides all the features needed to create, rename, maintain, empty and delete folders - including complex structures of folders and sub-folders.
MuseScore does provide a facility to create a new folder during the Save As process:

Thank you very much! I would not have found it by chance.

I didn't spot an announcement but searched everywhere as I couldn't believe that such an essential feature would've been removed. Maybe it's on a staggered rollout since Jojo hasn't got it yet.

I don't have any MS4 scores in my sets and don't use MS4 at all. I added a new MS3.7 score a few days ago and added it to a set with this new method.

Yes Windows
I don't think the OP was about the .com site, either.
