MuseScore 4. It is to glitchy
(I'm self-censoring my post since I don't know any other words to describe my issue.)
MuseScore four may sound much better than three; however, it's too ** glitchy. I can't even write two measures without the whole Musescore system crashing. My CPU, memory, and disks are all operating at approximately 12%-20% once MuseScore starts to crash, so we know it's not a hardware issue on my end. Musescore Four will simply just stop responding.
I want MuseScore 3 back, but I don't know where to get it legally.

Just download it from this very site, following the link 'older versions' from the download page.

Unless you actively uninstalled it version 3 is probably still on your PC. Yo may just need to tell your operating system to use it rather than version 4 as the default program to open .mscz files. Versions 3 and 4 can co-exist quite happily.

thank for your help :)
Things crash for all kinds of reasons. Not just overload. Does your system meet all the specs on the download page. And have you tried various system setting adjustments? Especially if you use a audio interface.

I made sure the specs are there on my PC. That was the first thing I did.
i do appreciate everyone with there help :)
I would love to use musescore 4 cause the sounds from muse hub sound better. but I'm willing to sacrifice less glitchy for sound quality :)

OK, you said that you can't even write 2 measures without the program crashing. This might sound funny, but how are you entering notes? Are you doing anything in particular when it crashes? Are you using any usb or midi external devices. I'm just thrashing around here. I have MU4 on 5 different computers of varying specs. Runs well on the more powerful ones and good enough on the others. The only time there is any crash is if I load a score that make someone else's computer crash. Not always even then.

I'm not using any MIDI or USB attachments (with Musescore). I also turned off midi in the settings since that was a significant issue for me in Muse 3.
What are your specs? MuseScore 4 needs a 4 core CPU with 8Gbs RAM minimum to work.
Here is the system requirements page: https://musescore.org/en/download#Minimum-requirements
Also, you can find MuseScore 3.6 on this page. Just click the link to your correct operating system and scroll down to download the latest stable version.

Regarding RAM, I have 5TB of HDD and 1TB of RAM. My PC is a quad-core
(It's entirely custom-built from scratch, including the programming.) I own an electronics repair company. I have to reprogram stuff all the time. I got most of my parts from the manufacturer; I'm not allowed to say who Sadly, :( They informed me when I signed up with them that they wanted to stay anonymous for some reason. I'm not sure why. It's free advertising, lol.

Well, no matter how big, an HDD just isn't fast enough. Quad core should be OK. But there's more to it than just horsepower.

"Well, no matter how big, an HDD just isn't fast enough"
Absolutely agree. I added a SSD to my old Lenovo laptop, and it now runs MS4 without any problem.

1TB of RAM is really a lot, out of curiosity why not a bit less RAM and using the money for SDD instead of (or in addition to) the HDD?

What are the exact spec's and what operating system? I mean, I thought you might be mistaking 1TB RAM for a 1TB SSD but, maybe not. How do you cool it?

How fast is your RAM speed? It is separate from the CPU processing speed.
