Stuck, need help and advice!
Been working on re-creating a score in muse from a conductor score, jut realized the notes stacked as "chords" in the score for the horn, bassoon, etc. are in fact supposed to be separate voices (which I don't understand and seems inconsistent, because many times in the score they're clearly demarcated as separate parts by having the note beams going in both direction, etc. but the majority of the time notehead's beams (though multiple and different stacked notes) same direction as if to be played as chords by single instrument voice).
So in any case, I have to figure out how to extract (what so far I have as "chords" in a single voice in muse, (and that I in future will be differentiating into their own voices per part the rest of the way) in order to extract for parts from the final conductor's score, for instance Horn 1, Horn 2; Bassoon 1, Bassoon 2, etc.
I did a search on this site and discovered a node on the selection filter, which seems at least would be the solution once I have all the "chord's" notes in their own voice going forward. However, when on my Mac I press "fn" + "F6" nothing happens. I cannot seem to find this "selection filter".
I'm running Musescore 1.2 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8. Is this selection filter a feature of a subsequent version of musescore? Is there a version to which I can update which will still be functional on my antiquated OS platform? Also would appreciate any further advice on my above outlined perplexities
Thank you all, in advance, for your kind help!!

The selection filter indeed is a MuseScore 2 feature, MuseScore 1.2 is very old (as is macOS 10.6).
MuseScore 2(.3.2) needs macOS 10.7 or later, MuseScore 3(.2.3) needs macOS 10.10 or later.
You might be able to update to MuseScore 1.3 though? But that'd be the end of the road for that old macOS.

I'd like to thank you so much Jojo-Scmitz personally, and the community in general here, for your time, service, and expertise.
I forgot that I have bootcamp on my mac with windows XP, for which I was able to successfully download MuseScore 2, so it looks like that will be the route I will be going go, as a new computer, or upgrading of OS is at this time not a practical option.
By the way, right off the bat I noticed the tremolo in this version sounds terrible compared to version 1? Seeing as this is an older version, I imagine this is and issue you're familiar with? Any work arounds?
Tried searching forum, but did not find anything

In order to understand and assist, we'd need you to attach the score you are having trouble with. Tremolo playback (the actual tremolo symbol fgrom the palette) should be pretty good, but the "tremolo string" sound in various soundfonts are usually of questionable quality, I'd avoid those.

the tremolos sounds should have been improvebd in the soundfont for MuseScore 3, and there esp. the HQ extension.

I'm running 2.3.2 on Windows XP (which as far as I know wont run Muse 3). It's the 16th note strings in general not sounding as good as in the previous version I was using.

As mentioned, in order to understand, we really need you to attach a score, otherwise we are just guessing. But my guess right now is same as Jojo's - you probably are using "slow strings" which are intended for more "pad"-like passages (eg, whole notes). Switch back to the standard string sounds (in View / Mixer) and it should be more to your liking.

The tremolo used was indeed the symbol from the palette. As it turns out it's 16th notes in general (strings) which don't sound good (they almost sounds like a "skipping" CD if you know what I mean). As far as I can tell, it cannot be an issue with the score itself because it sounded fine when I originally created in muse ver 1.2 on mac, but not when loaded in ver 2.3.2 muse on windows.
I am not at all acquainted with soundfonts, at this point I've just been using the program as downloaded from your website. Obviously playback regarding this particular issue isn't critical, but if there's a potential solution, count me in!
Thanks Marc,
Drake

You probably need the sound for fast strings rather than slow strings, and that in turn is in the soundfont for MuseScore 3 IIRC. But you should be able to use that in MuseScore 2 too
