Templates?
I have one more question: How do I transfer my custom templates from MS3 to MS4? And, since we are at it how do I save new custom templates in MS4? So far all I have found out is that this is possible in MS4.
Thanks for your help!

Just copy them accross to the MU4 templates folder.
Or open them in MS4 from the MS3 templates folder, then save in the MS4 templates folder

Where is the MS4 template folder? I have yet to find any folders attached to MS4. So far I only see the MS3 folders staying around. I assumed some folders might be in the new cloud (clever but I believe unnecessary for most of us). If so how do I reach them?

I am afraid I can't find the MS4 folders. Are they in the cloud? How do I reach them in that case. It is a bit of a problem that the handbook consists exclusively of a table of contents.

On Windows 10 Home, templates are here:
C:\Program Files\MuseScore 4\templates
[EDIT]
Bad advice: see Jeetee's better advice below...

But just as with MuseScore3 best to not use the program files folder which is used for the pre-installed things.
Use the default folder in your own Documents instead: Documents\MuseScore4\Templates

Templates are a bit broken in MS4 I think, it still doesn't show templates in either folder. Keep on using MS3 till this is fixed.

Well, storing and loading a template works fine for me in MS4.
Check that you are storing your templates in the same MS4 Templates folder as defined here:
Edit > Preferences > General > Folders > Templates
If these templates have been copied across from MS3, then it's a good idea to open the template file in its new MS4 folder and save the file in MS4 format. This will avoid constant reminders about MS3 format every time you open the template in MS4.
Then you can create a new score from a template in MS4 with this menu path:
File > New > New score > Category > My templates > choose from Templates list
and
File > Save As > new score name (to avoid overwriting the template)
