Profile name shown incorrectly online when score is loading

• Dec 1, 2024 - 07:52

Hey y'all!

So I've got a kinda weird problem. One I've been trying to fix for over 6 years and always being redirected to another place to complain, most of which eventually lead me in circles or to dead ends so I doubt I'll have any luck here. But when I was 12 I named my profile The Free Hugs Guy, and then a little bit later I was like, "All right, that's kinda cringe. If I'm gonna be sending my scores out I'm gonna wanna change that." So I did, and now my profile name's just my actual name, Eli Burrows.

Anyway, you know how when you open a score if your internet isn't great, it'll load for a second and while it's loading it'll just show the song name and artist name? Like "Stars and Stripes Forever sheet music by John Doe." Or how, if the song's playing, you can swipe down from the top of your phone or maybe click on the bottom right of your computer screen and see the info about the media playing, and it'll say the song and artist name, the same one displayed on the score before it loads?

Well musescore.com thinks all my original scores are written by The Free Hugs Guy and arranged by Eli Burrows. You can see in the attached screenshot, it'll say "The Beatitudes by The Free Hugs Guy sheet music arranged by Eli Burrows." That leaves me not wanting to send people my scores because then I either have to tell them I just arranged a piece by another guy with a weird username or explain why I'M the guy with the weird username.

Is there any way to fix this? I'd rather not throw away the 6,832 views, 145 favorites and 48 followers I've worked up with the 50+ scores I've uploaded since 2017, but if I can't fix this soon I'll probably delete my account and find another place to put my music, and I'm pretty close to doing it by now.
