Unable to load score onto Musescore.com via the publish option from the Musescore editing program.
This message with reasonable frequency (see link) displays
I followed the link..... here I am!
I attach the score in question, which already exists on musescore.com
I tried again, aligning the musescore score on-line identity with the identity in the file properties inside the musescore program, and it failed with the same reason.

How far in the process did you get? Are you trying to replace a score or edit a score?

HI, I'm trying to replace a score. I tried with one url (in properties) which failed perhaps because it was the wrong url. So then I checked the url on the site and copied and pasted that into the score properties. It fails again.

I tried to upload it. Directly from within MU4. Perhaps try that. I was asked about the score I was trying to replace. I stopped because it isn't my score.

It's still happening. The only way round it seems to be to delete the existing on-line score and declare this one as a new score.
Does clearing the file entry in the Properties section help? I tried that thinking it would, but it made no difference.

Interestingly enough, even though I had hit cancel while it was trying to up load, I later got a message that Upload was successful! I don't know where it up loaded to. It's no on my page. So many questions.

"Does clearing the file entry in the Properties section help?"
Do you mean "clearing the Source field in Project Properties"? That is accessed through File > Project Properties > Source. And yes. it makes a very big difference:
a) if you leave an existing URL in that Source field, it will update the score (provided that you are the owner/uploader of the original score);
b) if you clear the Source field, then that will create a new score on musescore.com.

Yes, that's as I thought.
Seem to be able to create a new score but it is no good trying to share the score to others with an ever-changing link.

Interesting. I can't upload one of my own scores using the upload function. I only have two scores on my page. One uploaded with MU3 and one with MU4. No problem with either.
There is no "source field" property in MU4. There's a "file path", but that's just where MU4 got the file from.

There is a source field property in Mu4, just scroll down a bit. In this case it contains http://musescore.com/user/32282582/scores/11567596 for your Mu4 score

Sorry, Ali. Guess I'm not smart enough to have responded in this thread to begin with. I didn't realize you were trying to replace a score. I was finally able to post a third score to my page. Don't know if I'll leave it there.

No problems bobjp.
OK, so...
Since our last exchange I have tried deleting and forcing an add, just to get round the problem.
But for yourself (and other readers' benefit), lets try replacing again:
On the website is a score called Grave Goods. I click on the score and take note that the address is
https://musescore.com/user/1600516/scores/14557555
In MS4 I check that the project properties source contains
https://musescore.com/user/1600516/scores/14557555
Then I hit Publish to Musescore.com. with the option to "replace the existing on-line score".
It exports the audio file.
Then it comes up with a window saying "Your score could not be published. Try again later, or get help for this problem on musescore.org."
Voila. Hmmm....
@musescore gurus...
Does it make sense that the message says "MuseScore.org" and not "MuseScore.com"??

Good question. musescore.org is the support forum for the MuseScore Editor, saving to the cloud is a feature oif that, but muscore.com is the site it saves to and that is supported entirely different

No. Save online just defaults to public, while save to cloud defaults to private (at least that's my understanding)

According to the help text that's not quite the case, and more complicated. So complicated, in fact, that I can't be bothered to get to the end of it ;)

Well, your

is published (and "Uploaded on Feb 22, 2024), so you used Save online / Publish to MuseScore.com, didn't you?
In reply to Well, your https://musescore… by Jojo-Schmitz
Well, I used the "Publish to Musescore.com," and that is what I've always done, (apart from the odd occasion recently to get round difficulties.) Not the Save Online
I always save locally (of course) beforehand.
In the old days I used to take the "Upload" option from the website, but Marc said that was an outmoded way of doing things, so I stopped doing that.
In reply to Well, your https://musescore… by Jojo-Schmitz
I only managed to publish this score by declaring it as a new score. Replacing the old score didn't work, as stated. Hence a new http address, which confuses the listeners
