Musescore Songbook
I am trying to open my musescore files (.mscz) using Songbook and most of the time, when I do this, I get an error message "Unfortunately, Songbook has stopped". It worked a few times, but now it never opens the file.
It doesn't matter if the files are in Dropbox or on my tablet's SD card, I still get the error. Very frustrating.
I have the older version not the newest one. I was just trying to determine which version I have and I cannot find a way to do it on my Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Note Pro).

Support for the mobile apps is on musescore.com, here in https://musescore.com/groups/musescore-android/, but the one songbock app is no longer, get the new MuseseScore app, as you apparently bought Songbook you'll get the Pro features of the new app without paying again and for lifetime.

I am pretty sure I did not pay for Songbook app. I am very leary in loading the new version because of the issues I have seen on Musescore's website. If I do load the new Songbook app and if I do not like it, can I switch back to the old version? It does not sound like I will be able to, since the old version does not exist anymore, correct?

The MuseScore Songbook app was not free, only the MuseScore Player. Only Songbook was able to play scores stored locally, and that is what you claim your app does.
The new app won't overwrite the old songbook, so you won't lose anything

Jojo-Schmitz is correct: the MuseScore Songbook app was a paid for app. It is no longer available on Google's Play Store so don't delete it from your device as you won't be able to get it back. The replacement MuseScore app is still in a state of development and you can have it installed alongside Songbook with no problems.

When I search for Musescore Songbook on Google Play, I see two Songbooks. One has an update in the upper right hand corner and the other is the beta version. Should I go ahead and update and see if that resolves my issue?

I only see MuseScore and MuseScore Beta. Don't install the latter, it will trash your old Songbook app, go for the former instead

Well, the Beta can't be installed anyway, because it is full.

I see no MuseScore Songbook in the Play Store. There's not a Samsung specific version of the store, is there?

I guess that the OP means that he can see 2 MuseScore apps rather than 2 Songbook apps.

@Tim Proffitt: You might as well give the Musescore app a try, (not the beta). It works without causing the old Songbook app any problems.

And it comes with a beta program itself ;-)
