how can I change title font in musescore 4.x (no problem in 3.x)?
I tried format --> style --> text styles and changed edwin to arial but it doesn't stay. I can only click OK and the apply is gray
anyone has a simple solution?
thanks

  1. Select all the text in the Title element
  2. In the Properties panel in the Text section, select the Font dropdown
  3. Scroll to your chosen font (e.g. Arial), confirm the font selection by mouse-click or the Enter key

"How could I make Arial font my default for every text?"

That's what Style files are intended for. See the menu options:
Format >Load style...
Format > Save style...
Where these Style files are saved to and loaded from is defined in Edit > Preferences > General > Folders > Styles. It's probably better not to change that default location.

The Handbook explains about using Style files:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/layout-and-formatting#save-and-load…

There will be quite a lot of preparatory work, because you need to create a empty score with all your font requirements manually set in:
Format >Style... > Text Styles > Title
Format >Style... > Text Styles > Subtitle
Format >Style... > Text Styles > Composer
Format >Style... > Text Styles > Lyricist
Format >Style... > Text Styles > and any other Text Styles that matter to you...

Then you can save the style settings with Format > Save style. And that .mss style file is what you use to apply the same font settings to any future score with Format > Load style.

You can even add the .mss file as an automatic style for all future scores in this way:
Edit > Preferences > Score > Default files > Style > add your .mss file here

I already explained how it works:
"You can even add the .mss file as an automatic style for all future scores in this way:
Edit > Preferences > Score > Default files > Style > add your .mss file here"

So:
- the Style sheet will be automatically applied to all new scores
- existing scores/templates which you created before the Style file was generated must be individually updated once only using Format > Style... > Load style - and then remember to Save the score/template
