score cannot be saved

• Jan 3, 2024 - 14:02

I bought Musescore 3 and ran it pretty successfully for nearly a year. I got an update notice and clicked it which resulted in an installation of Musescore 4.

Since then when I start from a template,, create something and am ready to save it I get the message "Your score could not be saved - read only file system".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Have you bought it? Then something went wrong. This is and always has been free software at no cost! And MuseScore 4 is too!

But to your question: check where you want to save your score. The usual location is your documents folder in the subfolder ".../MuseScoreX/Scores" (X is the major version number of MuseScore). This should always be possible. If not, I assume you're trying to save to a CD or a write-protected SD card or something similar.

If you are still unsuccessful, please tell us the computer operating system and the path Musescore shows in the window when saving.
