How to save manual repositions/reformats of elements to the style sheet/How to reset manual positions/formats to style sheet

• Apr 25, 2024 - 15:57

In Musescore 3, you can reposition and reformat an element (for example, a rehearsal mark) and save your changes to the style sheet with a clearly marked "S" icon next to the parameter. However, this super-handy function appears to be completely missing from Musescore 4. Is that the case? Is it missing completely from Musescore 4?

Also: In Musescore 3, if you have manually changed the formatting and/or positioning of an element, you can reset it to the position and format determined by the style sheet by clicking a clearly visibly reset icon next to the parameter you want to reset. However, this handy function also appears to be completely missing from Musescore 4.

Am I not understanding something? So far in my use of Musescore 4, I find it to be much less user-friendly and overall less useful that Musescore 3 (and that's not counting the complete lack of support for Musescore 4 files in the iOS app.) Should I set Musescore 4 aside for a few years and wait for all these issues to be fixed in a Musescore 5?

Ah! Nicely hidden but there it is.

The options are "Reset" and "Save as default style for this score". I assume clicking "Reset" will revert manual changes to the selected parameter to the setting defined by the style sheet. Correct?

Will "Save as default style for this score" update the style sheet itself or is the "save" limited to the specific score being edited at the time? That is, will clicking "Save as default style for this score" NOT update the style sheet in use or will it update the style sheet in use?
