Templates and styles
Overview
A template is simply a standard MuseScore file (*.mscz) that has been stored in the “Templates” folder in your MuseScore 4 user directory. Now, when you start the New Score dialog, the template file will appear in the “My templates” section of the Create from template tab.
A style file, which is applied from the Format menu, is a file containing customized style settings for all musical and text objects in a score.
