Hi,

did anyone get the notebook running on Windows 11?

When executing the displayNotes command I get the error message:

SubConverterException: Cannot find a path to the 'mscore' file at C:\Users\steph\Documents\Repositories\complexmusic\C:\Program Files\MuseScore 3\bin\MuseScore3.exe -- download MuseScore

I cannot find the file music21rc.txt anywhere in my file system. Is it called differently on Windows?

Any help would be appreciated

Stephan

Hi again,

I found the solution by myself. The key is the file C:\User\\AppData\Roaming\music21-settings.xml. There you can adapt the directory to your MuseScore executable. Be careful there are two entries musescoreDirectPNGPath and musicxmlPath. The both should point to your MuseScore executable.

In case the file does not exist you can create one with python -m music21.configure

Hope this helps

Stephan
