Volta text not printing to pdf
Hi there,
I am trying to print a score to pdf, and there is a volta with 8va. The dotted line of the volta prints, but the 8 is not appearing.
It works fine in a fresh Musescore 4, but I have opened a Musescore 3 file in 4 - and now can't open it in 3 because I have saved it in 4.
I've found a workaround, in exporting to musicxml from 4, then opening that in 3 - but not all the formatting transferred so it was a lot of extra work.
If you're able to fix 4 so that volta text appears when you open a file created in 3, that would be fantastic!

Yes, sorry, it was ottava I meant.
The dotted line appears, but not the figure 8.

Hi, I've uploaded the three files; the original score in M3, then opened and saved in M4, then printed to pdf using PDF Creator.
Many thanks

Using MuseScore4, I placed text for Part A, Part B, and Part C above the staff above each part. Export to PDF did not place the Part B text label anywhere and placed the Part C label where the Part B label should have been. However, when I printed the score using Microsoft Print to PDF it printed correctly. I went back to MuseScore3 and was able to export to PDF correctly.

Don't do that! File > Export > PDF is what you should use

OK, thanks.
I do need the additional features of PDF Creator for some files, though, but I can export to PDF and then print that in PDF Creator.
thanks for looking into it.
