can't export separate parts
I'm trying to export separate sound files for SATB, but whatever format I choose, and even though I mute the other 3 parts while I try to export the fourth, I still get all 4 tracks playing together. Export Parts is greyed out.
I've done this often before but can't work out why not now :)
Can anyone help?

Welcome David do you mean
S
A
T
B
or
S+A
T+B (closed score)?

If you don't solve attach your score here, if you want

I want to make sound files S-A-T-B from a 4-part score, but whatever I set as solo or mute the recording is of all 4 parts:

So you did not generate parts. See attached, then export parts as wav or mp3
Before generating the parts, enable all in mixer...
I agree it is confusing, and a known bug, that solo/silence in mixer on the score doesn't affect the export at all for the main score, but does for the linked parts, see #21854: Mixer "solo" doesn't apply in audio export (though mute does).
Did you generate the parts? See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/part-extraction-0

Thanks, but the music is already in 4 parts? SATB....?
File/parts is all greyed out and there's nothing listed in Select Part.
I sent this file to a friend and he has produced the four sound files.....so I wonder who I can't?

No, your music is a single score containing for *staves*. You don't get *parts* - four separate scores each containing a single staff - until you make that happen, by going to File / Parts (look again - this should *not* be greyed out), then hitting the "New All" button to automatically generate a part for every staff. Then hit OK. You will see four new tabs show up on the screen - on each for S, A, T, and B.

Thanks Marc, I have managed to do this now. Did this change with Musescore II? I used to do it my old way by just setting 'solo' but maybe it was changed.

linked parts is indeed a new feature of MuseScore 2
And that solo doesn't affect the exported sound formats is a bug: #21854: Mixer "solo" doesn't apply in audio export (though mute does)
