opening a score
Totally new to musescore. I have *.mid, *.pdf, *.mp3, *.wav, & *.mscx files in my SCORE folder. When I go to FILE, then OPEN, it brings me to the SCORE folder but there is nothing there. The files are in that folder but when opening it in Musescore nothing is there? What am I doing wring? Thanks, Jon

You're probably looking at 2 different SCORE folders

Thanks for the help, I discovered I had 2 MuseScore4 folders in different places. One had the files, the other was empty. Fixed that and am ok.
In the drop down menus, Find the "preferences" for MuseScore. With preferences open, find "folders". Here you will see the path to the "scores" folder where the files are saved and opened from. With a Mac you would left click on Musescore studio > preferences > folders. For Windows I think it's File > preferences > folder. Make sure the file you want opened in that folder. I'm pretty sure you will only be able to open files with the *.mscx and *.mscz extensions. Also you can use your file manager and go to the file you want opened and Right click on it. Then choose " open with" and choose MuseScore.
