My version defaults to European standards even though I am in the U.S.
I would like measurements in inches, and the default paper size to be 8.5 x 11 inches (standard U.S. letter size) - but I have to select this each time I export a score. How can I make these the default?

Check the paper size from your default printer;
Help/Resource Manager/Languages->update translation;
Format/Page Settings->Unit.
3.6.1? On which operating system?

Printer paper size is US letter (8.5 x 11) I am using Windows 10 MuseScore 3.6.0.487915773 Revision 1977cb3 according to the "About" menu choice. The "Check for updates" choice says my version is up to date.

There you go. Set your printer to A4 and MuseScore will use A4 as its default too

That is exactly what I do not want. My printer is set correctly. I want MuseScore to default to US letter size (8.5x11 in - ANSI A).

3.6.1 is avaible for download, but not for auto-update. There will be a 3.6.2 shortly

That didn't help. Maybe 3.6.2 - but I sure would like to change that page setting paper size default.

Normally this works fine on Linux and macOS and only Linux has issues.
But, try downloading these files into your Styles folder, then specifying as your default in Edit / Preferences / Score.

I'm having this same problem on Linux with 3.6. I've specified these mss files as defaults. The basic score that opens when the program first starts is correct. Then all new scores after that have reverted to A4. But, when I click on "Reset All Pages Settings to Default" it changes them to Letter format.

There was a bug in either 3.6.0 or 3.6.1 where page settings from a custom MSS would not be applied o new scores created from templates, only from scratch via Choose Instruments. This is now fixed, so indeed, probably updating to 3.6.2 should fix it. If not, please attach your MSS file and give precise steps to reproduce the problem.
