Cannot export a score
Hi everyone,
I am a very new (installed it today) MuseScore on Ubuntu user and I'm pretty sure this is one of the best notation programs around (I'm switching from Sibelius). I had a few obstacles here and there that I managed to overcome but this one I don't get: I cannot export any score into any format (I'm interested in pdf). I have my score open in MuseScore, I go to File > Save As, I type the file name "score", I choose where to save it (desktop), I choose the format (for example pdf) and I finally click on Save. Nothing happens. I tried with the promenade demo score and the same thing happens.
Please help!
Thanks,
Andy

Upgrade to the latest version of MuseScore (0.9.5). Instructions are on the [[nodetitle:download]] page of this website.

Thanks for your response David. I added the extra repositories and I was able to install the latest version. Export works now.
I wish to write a passage in three staves: two for piano, one for unpitched percussion. I would like the piano part to be in 3-4 time but the percussion part to be in 2-4 time (the total number of beats in the passage will be the same as in the piano part; they're just "grouped" differently in the percussion part). Is this possible? I just tried changing the meter on the percussion staff by double-clicking the 2-4 on the palette, but it changed the meter of all staves.
Thanks

It is not possible to have more than one meter simultaneously in MuseScore.
P.S. In the future please use the "new Forum topic" link at the top of each forum instead of replying to an unrelated topic.

I replied to this before but it seems to have gotten lost.
I would do the score in duple time and use tuplets for the piano part.
Or vice versa
