2.0.3 under Ubuntu GNOME won't run right and says it's incompatible with Win 10 2.0.3 saves.
I run a multi-boot 64-bit system. I'm in Win 10 Pro a lot and have my MuseScore library maintained there. Now I installed 2.0.3 using the PPA for that under Ubuntu xenial GNOME.
1. I can't use the opening dialog to start a new MuseScore sheet: on the second "Next" button, thre are no more options and the further "Next" is grayed out. I have to cancel the dialog.
2. When I try to open scores saved under the same MS version in Windows, they won't open. A version-incompatibility error message appears and MS crashes.

Sounds like something is wrong with your installation. Do you have completely separate installations? Including the home folder your where application settings would be saved? I would hope so. Assuming so, run Help / Revert to Factory Settings on each system to undo whatever problems might have been caused during initial attempts to get things running.
If you continue to have problems with either system after that, please give precise steps to reproduce the problem, saying which OS you are on, and if relevant, attaching the score you are having problems with.

Hi, Marc.
The answer is at the bottom. From here until the final paragraph is what I wrote and was about to post when I found the answer:
I never changed any settings from the default under Ubuntu, because the problems were there from when I first installed it.
At first I installed from the normal repositories, and the version was not 2.0.3. I found the instructions for adding the PPA and updating and I did that. But the problems did not disappear. Before I posted the above, I purged the installation entirely and reinstalled it. It says it's 2.0.3. But it still won't open my scores from Windows.
https://musescore.org/en/node/116126
has the instructions I used for adding the PPA and (re-) installing.
I did state the version: xenial (16.04) 64-bit, running the GNOME variant. And Windows 10 Pro is also 64-bit.

The answer is, both mscore (ver. 2.0.0) and musescore (2.0.3) are installed.
dman@nomotek-gux:~$ which musescore mscore
/usr/bin/musescore
/usr/local/bin/mscore
Also, the PPA for 2.0.2 and 2.0.3 are both registered on the system. I wonder if I need to remove the one for 2.0.2.
Thanks,

I went ahead and purged 2.0.3 (for re-install later) and then tried to remove 2.0.0, but I couldn't. The executable was still there as /usr/local/bin/mscore, but I purged shared library files also with 2.0.3's removal and the old mscore wouldn't run and wasn't known to be installed when I list packages under apt.
So I looked at the file. Its size (huge) reminded me what it is: a compiled binary for Linux I downloaded from the beta repositories back when 2.0.0 was just coming out.
I now deleted that file and re-installed 2.0.3 and it seems to work properly. Thank you.
