how to add dpi setting to MuseScore for explorer or "open with"
Is there any way to add a dpi tag/option to opening the program directly in explorer? or with the "open with" when double-clicking a file?
I changed the command in the start menu shortcut properties to
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3 Evolution\bin\MuseScore3Evo.exe" -D 92
and that works great for using said shortcut.
However, if I click on the program file itself, or double click a MuseScore file, the program defaults to the far too small settings.

seems to imply it will work, but I have had no luck, and the limited change dpi settings do not seem to work either.
Also, FWIW, changing the program to run in compatibility mode for Windows 8 works, but slows down response time considerably.

Change the program string for the mscz files in the Registry, search for
"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 4\bin\MuseScore4.exe" "%1", change to"C:\Program Files\MuseScore 4\bin\MuseScore4.exe" -D 96 "%1"In reply to Change the program string… by Jojo-Schmitz
Thanks
I'm only using 3.6.2 and 3.7 Evolution, so I'll need to change it a bit, but it's a start.

Bizarre:
I had changed the open with to default to 3.7 Evo no problem.
It works,
but I only see 3.6.2 paths in the open commands in the registry.
Peculiar

As 3.7 doesn't really install, it doesn't register in the registry like 3.6.2 does

Understood, but I thought the open with would have a registry entry, since Evo now appears in windows's app list.

Yes, they do too, but in a different place

Done, thanks,
and thanks for all the work on the wonderful Evo.
Note, 'open with' works now, but directly opening the app still does not.
Still, a major improvement.
