Default Directory is ignored. Used to work but, no longer
When I first acquired MuseScore I set up a default directory. Then, each time I logged on, the default directory for all of my scores was displayed without any prompting. Lately, I notice the default directory (still keyed into the Preferences) gets ignored. Another document directory comes up and I have to relocate my Scores directory and select it. MuseScore has lost the default. How can I fix this? Thanks!

Thanks for the response but this is beyond my skill-level. I will try to be patient and live with the problem.

we do not get along very well ;-)
but Revert to factory settings is not a difficult undertaking.
You've already tried:
Edit / Preferences> Reset to default?

Yes, I did try that. The system keeps the library setting I entered but it doesn't apply it.
Appreciate your help but it seems too difficult to fix. JHJ

(I promise, I will not hassle you)
Try to open a score;
Then use "Save as", and select the desired folder (Default).
For the next score, the Mac remembers the last location?

Successfully followed your instructions but no luck. Score is where it should be but my MuseScore default directory is "Documents" instead of the path I set up in MuseScore preferences. I can reset it but it used to default to the correct directory. -- I'm afraid to try some variation on reinstallation because I don't want to further corrupt anything or lose my scores. Maybe I will become bolder and try it anyway.

I don't suppose there is a typo in the preferences setting? Could you post a screenshot of the preferences dialog?
EDIT: also, what version of MuseScore?
In reply to No luck by JimJPiano
If you ever decide to try "Revert to factory settings" (I do not know if it can be useful for a Mac).

Not sure you want this to be true but your suggestion works all right. I can live with this, for now.
MuseScore is still the best, for me. Thanks!
