local manual not found
go to 'help' in the menu
then go to
'local manual' or press F1
an error dialog box comes up with the following error:
'MuseScore online manual not found at: /usr/share/mscore-0.9/man/MuseScore-en.pdf'
but for some reason I have two directories:
/usr/share/mscore
and
/usr/share/mscore-0.9
neither of which have a sub-directory of /man
nor is there a MuseScore-en.pdf
is this a known issue?

What operating system do you use?
In the meantime, you can download the pdf on the [[nodetitle:handbook]] page.

I saw in another topic that you use Ubuntu. It might be a problem with the ubuntu package.
The PDF manuals were not included in the 0.9.4 version for Ubuntu. If you are still using 0.9.4 I suggest upgrading. Instructions for obtaining 0.9.5 are on the download page.

David, this shouldn't matter: although it is of course advisable to upgrade to 0.9.5, my 0.9.4 packages did not present the option to use the local manual.
Hi, (I am the Debian/Ubuntu package maintainer)
you don't have two directories ;) - the unversioned one is symlinked to the versioned one, to ease package transitions. However, I am very surprised you got this error; in every package version until the most recent of prereleases*, I have not shipped the PDF manuals (for various copyright related reasons), but I was always sure to disable the menu option.
* which I don't think are published yet for Ubuntu 9.04, due to a large number of earlier build failures.
I suspect you have upgraded the 'mscore' package without upgrading the complimentary 'mscore-common' package, which contains the manual files. Please ensure that your system is up to date.
Finally, your "config" is slightly confusing; what does "MuseScore 1.9.5; revision: expo" mean? MuseScore has no 1.9.5 release, and none of my packages give the revision as "expo". The best way to describe the MuseScore version is to give the `mscore` and `mscore-common` package versions. These can be found in Synaptic, or with the command `apt-cache policy mscore mscore-common`.

doh! sorry about that
I had added an emblem to the soundont file to test this and it didn't show up in the other folder so I thought it connected elsewhere
my original Musescore was installed via Synaptic
but the update [Musescore 0.9.5; revision: expo] is from:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable/ubuntu

Weird.. I don't know why it says expo on your system yet when I install the package from there on mine, I get revision 2012, and no option for the local manual...
In reply to Weird.. I don't know why it by Toby Smithe
here is a zip of two screenshots:
1- of the Musescore about dialog box
2- the Synatic info panel for Musescore
In reply to screenshots by anechoicmedia_
Ah, yes - you do need to upgrade to the ~jaunty2 package; that is the equivalent package to the one in Debian, and is much more stable.
In reply to Ah, yes - you do need to by Toby Smithe
thanks for the heads up!
problem fixed
