Templates
Having issues with saving a new template in Beta 2. (Win 7)
I'm re-setting a lot of male voice music so I thought I would create my own template for tenor, tenor, Baritone and bass.
I've created a page that just has the 4 staves correctly labelled.
I have saved this as a compressed Musescore file (called 00-TTBB) in
c:\program files (86)\musescore2\templates\02-choral
When I then create a new score the new template is not listed in the templates screen. When I look at that directory using Win Explorer, the new file shows with a lock icon before it.
What does that indicate?
When I then close my new score and use Win Exp again, there is no trace of my new template.
Just what am I doing wrong?

Try to clear recent files:
File / Open Recent / Clear Recent Files;
Close the program and restart

Tried that but now the start centre screen only gives me an option to create new score, no other templates are listed.

rings a bell somewhere... I thing there was a fix about that in a later nightly build.
I guess C:\program files (86)\musescore2\templates\02-choral is protected and Windows really puts it elsewhere.

new entry, I saved it with others. It seems to work

Many thanks, that was the problem. Fond the file in "local Data", moved it to templates and when I now start beta 2, the start centre gives me a choice of "Create New" or "00-TTBB" which is fine but now how do I get all the current supplied templates back.

reinstall?
FWIW, in MuseScore 2.0 builds, it is not recommended to save into the applications own templates folder. Instead, save it to your own Templates folder, right next to your Scores folder (MuseScore creats both of these as well as other local folders for you, on first run).
