score cannot be saved
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.

I still have this very annoying bug. Always "Your score could not be saved", whether in Documents/Musescore4/Scores or anywhere else. Has been like this for many week now. Suddenly it might work - or not.
I have already had to to redo a whole score because of this.
Your previous comments are no solution.
Please help!

You get that message when the operating system tells Musescore that the location you are trying to save to is read only or possibly there is a fault with the device you are trying to save to. Musescore complies and doesn't write to that location. The fact that it is an intermittent problem tends to imply that your storage device may be faulty.
Have you run diagnostics on your storage device (HDD or SSD)?
Can you save to a different device - e.g USB Drive?
Which version of Musescore and which operating system are you using? You can go to Help>About and copy that information by clicking on the copy button. You can then then paste the information in a reply here.
