Date and Time format
Hi, gang!!!
Is there a way to change the date and time format to put it on a footer or header? ???
I mean, in my system I chose my country (Chile) way: Domingo, 17 de Julio de 2015, 20:35 Hr., but MuseScore shows it as: 17/5/15 20:35
How can I change it? ???
Greetings!!!
Juan

$M, $D, $m and $d should do just that, they use your locales schema.

No, it doesn't work on my PC (Lubuntu).
I mean, it still shows 20/7/15 instead Lun 20 Jul 2015.
It seems it is some Lubuntu issue, because I tried with the "Insert Fields" option into LibreOffice and it showed the same format (which is not the one should be).
Whatever, into the Language Support (configuration menu), the date and time are right.
I don't know what's happen here!!!

Issue is still there.
Indeed, I can confirm, that date format in footer is 12/5/17, but in Estonia it should be 12/05/2017

well, as hinted in code,

You can set your language in prefs and date format will change accordingly
.
MuseScore doesn't use $d $DD $mmm etc. as your system does. It simply uses $d as shorthand for today's date and $D for creation date. So, it's not a fault but you could put in a feature request to allow different/custom date formats.
