Export Parts Grayed Out
Trpt and Piano I want to export the Trpt as a mscz Unfortunately the Export Parts is grayed out.
This file has been a nightmare....some how it saved with a period after the mscz I renamed it that worked but
export not working....
Thanks

To be able to export parts, you must, first, create these parts via: File -> Parts
This done, "Export Parts" will be active.
period after the mscz? Not comma (and period in front of the name)? If the latter you're looking at a backup file, the previous version of your score
I am having the same problem with a score. I added a part (the Electric Guitar) to the score, where the Parts dialog worked normally. Once I finished with that, I noticed Export Parts was grayed out. When I pull up the Parts dialog it also appears to have broken (you no longer see the parts list at the left and everything seems grayed). I have a feeling my score is corrupted, which would be a total bummer! See attached score. I am using v2.2.1 on a Mac.

I don't see the problem, File/Parts is not disable and in the dialog the buttons New and New All are active too and work for creating parts. MuseSore 2.2.1 on Windows 7
That score doesn't have parts yet though, so indeed the left hand part of the parts dialog is empty

There are definitely parts! See screenshots below:

There is a score with several instruments (also called parts, so probably the source of confusion here), but no (linked!) parts (internally called excerpts), those need to get generated in that dialog you show too.
"Export parts" is greyed out, as there are no Parts yet. "Parts..." is not greyed out

I did exactly as described in the handbook, except that I started with the jazz template and added parts using the parts dialog (adding more trumpets, trombones, etc). I added the electric guitar part today using the parts dialog. And then it seems to have broken. I have scored probably 30 charts this way, so this is new behavior for me.

You score does not have a single part, just the main score (with a bunch of instruments)
Attached with parts...
As you may see it is about 3 times larger

you're right! Let's just call this a senior moment. Sorry for the wasted bits! Thanks!

@mjzwick... it's the (necessarily strict) nomenclature which can cause confusion.

If you modified a jazz template (Jazz Lead Sheet or Big Band or Jazz Combo) to modify the instrument setup, you use what's called the 'Instruments' dialog.... not the 'Parts' dialog.
See:

Once you have your score set up with the proper instrumentation, you then have to use the 'Parts' dialog to generate those individual tabs for the parts. (Mainly so you can print out individual parts.)
See:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/parts
In colloquial speech, the words 'Instruments' or 'Parts' may be interchangeable in many contexts; but, with respect to MuseScore dialog names, 'Instruments' and 'Parts' each serve a different function and are not interchangeable.

I am having problems with my score because when I export the parts, each part is playing more than 1 part even though I did not join parts. I need the parts to play individually in the exported mp3 file but it is not doing that.

Known issue, see #289890: Exporting parts from a score does not produce correct MIDI, MP3, WAV, OGG, and FLAC files.
