Mixer not appearing (musescore 4)
Mixer stopped appearing, tried so many things don’t know what to do.
So I recently started using Musescore 4 it has worked fine for me for a bit, but the instrument volumes has been a bit wonky, so I usually fix that manually. Today however the mixer has just stopped appearing
I don’t mind writing with the volume being weird but I need to send a sample to a client soon. How do I fix it. It says that the mixer should be visible even though nothing has appeared on screen. Does anybody know anything? I also have had issues with the playback playing this that are not in the score.
Comments
I am disappointed to find this comment staying not responded since June 2023... I have the same issue. It appears that I started to have the same behavior after updating to 4.2.1. I appreciate a suggestion from anybody who have overcome this. Thank you.

Same issue here. I've uninstalled Musescore 4 and reverted to Musescore 3, where the mixer works fine. Without the mixer, Musescore is useless to me. Infuriating!
I have the same problem. It can be checked in the view menu, but does not appear anywhere on screen.

I'm gonna make a small bet that the Mixer window has been inadvertently moved outside of the display window, whether up, down, right, or left. In a Windows window this is easy to deal with, but the Mixer window doesn't have the System Menu that Windows windows have in the upper left, which contains the Move command. So I don't know how to fix it.
Only way I can think of would be to perform Help / Revert to factory settings. But I don't know that this will fix the problem (since I'm not having the problem and can't replicate it).

Worked perfectly. Thank you so much!

It is not easy to place something outside of the display window on a Mac unless you are using more than one monitor in an un-mirrored way. I searched the hand book, but I could not find revert to factory settings.

I'm on a Mac and to revert to factory settings, I just clicked the "Help" button and "Revert to factory settings" in the drop-down menu. Totally solved the problem for me.

Well, you know what? That worked. I swear I didn't see it in the Help menu last time. I was going to take a screen shot to prove it wasn't there.... and it was there.
Thank you very much.

Same here. As I said above, I've given up and reverted to Musescore 3. Such a ridiculous workaround!

TheHutch's suggestion worked for me. Revert to factory settings from the help menu, then select View Mixer, and all ok! Thanks, TheHutch!
As at Mu 4.4.0 this problem is still not resolved.
When I invoke the Mixer (F10), I still see only a tiny vertical strip overlaid on the Properties panel. It's really tedious to have to drag the width to a more sensible dimension.

I had the same issue and then my mixer window disappeared completely. Have you tried TheHutch's suggestion, above. If not, try this: Help > Revert to factory settings. It worked right away for me.

Daniel, If you open the mixer and resize it, close and reopen it, does it open the way you set it?

No, the Mixer still just opens as a very narrow vertical stripe. I have to drag the right edge to make the screen visible.
[EDIT]
... and this problem with the Mixer sizing goes way back to 2021 (at least for me).
This thread Mixer panel was as close as I got to understanding what controls the Mixer display:

But still no solution...
